Sierra Cantabria, Rioja Gran Reserva, 2017 Rhône Cinsault and Grenache

Cinsault and Grenache

Full bodied and a little sweet

and hints of vanilla

cocoa powder and coffee bean are remarkably well-integrated

combining ripe fruit with hints of toasted wood and laurel

Sierra Cantabria, Rioja Gran Reserva, 2017 Rhône Cinsault and GrenacheA colossally complex, sumptuous, beautifully mature Gran Reserva, with a fabulously intricate and inviting bouquet of vanilla, fig, dark chocolate, vanilla bean, black truffle and autumn leaves. The palate utterly lives up to the expectation set by the nose: super soft, mature tannins; full bodied and crammed with pronounced flavours of dates, seasoned wood, liquorice, hot tar, woodsmoke and brown cardamom. Superb length on the palate. Awesome wine,
