Édition limitée rendant hommage à la tradition de la Rioja, avec un élevage qui apporte complexité et élégance. 90 % Tempranillo, 5 % Garnacha et 5 % Graciano, élevé 20 mois en barriques de chêne français et américain. Notes de fruits mûrs et d'épices.
The 20 months in French oak really shows in the smooth, layered finish, and that 5% Graciano adds a nice kick of freshness you don't always get with a Rioja. Opened it last Sunday with lamb chops and the whole bottle was gone before we even got to dessert.
Twenty months in those French oak barrels really shows — the Tempranillo comes through silky while the Graciano adds a nice spicy edge. Opened it for a quiet dinner and the whole bottle disappeared before we even got to dessert.
I poured a glass expecting just another Rioja, but the 90% Tempranillo core with that Graciano kick gives it a lively edge I wasn't prepared for. Twenty months in double French oak rounds it out without hiding the fruit. Definitely ordering another bottle before this limited run disappears.
