Faustino I Gran Reserva is among the best of Faustino in Rioja.
Expectations prior the tasting are for classic high-quality Riojan wines.
high quality Tempranillo can age well for more than 50 years as one can observe in these two wines
no doubt that this excellent vintage produced the most impressing wine of the tasting
surprisingly, these two excellent vintages produced a below-expectations wine
