Seemed surprisingly young at first sip but rapidly gained character and improved significantly when allowed to breath for a while. I'm not usually a big Tempranillo fan, but this Gran reserva could make me reconsider.

Slightly stewed plum, brown sugar, citrus zest. Very full bodied, slight leather and floral notes on nose, but the oaky VANILLA side really pushed through on this 2004 and made me almost nauseous. Sick. :( A wine of poor balance.

It might gain some more character with additional decanting but at present it is tasting like a low cost table wine.
