For a Gran Reserva, this wine is just...well....okay. I beleive it cost around $27, I don't know, I got it as a gift, and called the store about the price afterwards. Anyway, in my opinion not worth the money. The regular Marques De Riscal Reserva in a bad year shows more depth and intensity than this wine. Typical flavors of Rioja are there, but the flavors aren't as intense/complex and the feel isn't as deep and dense as what a Gran Reserva should be in this wine drinkers opinion.

Well integrated and refined. Can't see this improving much.
