May 16, 2023 - Dark ruby, no sign of ageing. On opening the nose was rather muted, but within half an hour it opened up beautifully with cherry liqueur and sweet vanilla aromas. The palate is very smooth and long, though a slight burn (alcohol? acidity?) makes its presence felt on the finish. Youthful fruit-liqueur flavours. I'm enjoying this very much, but it lacks the complexity I look for in a Gran Reserva. I'll check in again in 24 hours. Cork, 14%.
