Tapperi / Importør: Sierra Cantabria - Eguren, Amorebieta, 3, 26338 San Vicente de la Sonsierra, SPANIEN

Vinen lagres i 26 måneder på amerikansk eg, typisk for Rioja, og aftappes 3 år efter høsten, hvorefter den modnes i flasken på vingården. Vi finder en fyldig, mørkerød farve i glasset. Blomme, sorte kirsebær og blomme i næsen, et strejf af valnød, nellike og vanilje, men friskere og mere fokuseret end forventet af en Gran Reserva. Meget fin mundfølelse, smuk ligefrem frugt af mørke bær, delikate ristede smagsnuancer, lidt kaffe, brødskorpe og mokka, meget moden og elegant med god saltet længde, en vin, der svinger mellem modernitet og historie, fantastisk sjov maker med en masse fokus. 95/100

Galloni om: Gran Reserva de Sierra Cantabria

A flavorful Sonsierra wine, the 2015 Gran Reserva is 100% Tempranillo sourced from San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Labastida, Rioja. Aged for 26 months in American oak barrels, this garnet wine with a bricked sheen exhibits a complex nose of oak and spice, accompanied by hints of herbs, sour cherry and thyme. Dry, compact and juicy, the mildly rich palate lingers with a thyme-inflected finish. The nuanced character of this Gran Reserva is the result of well-managed vineyards, located in the very best terroir of the Sonsierra. 94/100

Parker om: Gran Reserva de Sierra Cantabria

I hadn't tasted a Gran Reserva from Sierra Cantabria since the 2012, and the 2015 Gran Reserva follows the same traditional style: mostly Tempranillo with 2% Graciano matured in American oak barrels, 25% of them new, for 26 months. It's ripe at 14.3% alcohol, with the powerful and velvety house style, but it shows the effect of the warmer and powerful years, especially in the tannins that are more abundant and a little drier. It's a concentrated year that might need more time in bottle. 20,000 bottles produced. It has been in bottle since February 2018. 93/100
