The 'Carmen' Gran Reserva is a combination of Tempranillo (82%), Garnacha (10%), Graciano (4%) and Mazuelo (4%) whichwas aged for 36 months in new French oak prior to bottling. It begins with aromatics of red cherry and red raspberry with pomegranate and rose petals. Plush, silky this delivers black plum, black currant, wild blackberry cobbler and Turkish coffee flavors that sit alongside stunning mineraltity. A simply delicious Rioja with wonderfual ageing potential. (Best 2017-2030) - September, 2017 (OB)
