Tuesday, November 26, 2013 - Gonzales Byass wines tasting (Wine Depot, Tel-Aviv): dark red-purple.
nose: fresh bouquet of red fruit with an earthy, green pepper notes.
palate: medium-full body, good acidity level, traditional style Rioja, lacks complexity, somewhat lean, medium-long finish.

20 hours later:
nose: fresh young fruity notes, with green-veggie & earthy hints
palate: sour red fruits, hardly any oxidation notes, firm tannins, high acidity level, very good harmony, long fruity finish.
Generally, this is a med-level Rioja Gran Reserva. still very young wine. equivalent to a high level Rioja reserva. should age at least 4 years more till its optimal drinking windows.
