"If I liked the Reserva, the 2008 Gran Reserva could be even better, as it combines tertiary aromas with spices, hints of leather and balsamic nuances with notes of freshness in the shape of orange peel. The palate feels quite complete with good freshness and acidity that make it easy to drink and ideal for the table. Always a sure value in traditional Rioja."
