No decant. Pnp. Good wine and seems typical for good gran reserve rioja. A - Medium/dark red. Good clarity. Clear rim. No signs of age yet. N - Woody resinous oak. A bit hot alcohol. Earthy. TT - sour red fruit, good, seems characteristic of type. Aftertaste - long, lingering acidity, characteristic.

This is good stuff! Very tasty experience. Nice fruit, finish and flavor. Thoroughly enjoyed by some unsophisticated palates and discerning folks alike.

Good stuff. Should have waited a bit longer. Drank some with friends and a bit more each day over five days.
