  17/20 Rubis noir opaque. Nez riche, intense, profond. Fruits bien mûris. La bouchw est riche et intense. Quasi costaud mais il suffit de le boire à table avec une bonne viande rouge.

  By the glass. Very boring, lacking character. Shy on the nose where the fruit notes are tinged by wood. Outstanding acidity and tannic finish in the mouth. It does not bring a new element. Vulgar if anything.
  
  Por copas. Muy aburrido, falto de carácter. Tímido en nariz donde las notas frutales se encuentran matizadas por la madera. Acidez sobresaliente y final tánico en boca. No aporta nada nuevo. Vulgar si acaso.

  Pop and pour, first nose reveals a typical Graciano nose. Reticent, graphit, flower petals and a hint of fresh plum. The mouth is quite neutral at first but after 45 minutes it starts to open, the tannin unfurls and there is a beautiful, firm structure supported by acidity, strawberries and more petals. Very good for its price, ready to drink with 1 hour aeration but with the guts to evolve for 3 - 5 years. I have the impression that aging in wooden containers of all sorts and mycro oxidation are the right treatment for Graciano. This was fermented in french fudres and raised in american and french barrique for 10 month. Well done.
