Faustino I Gran Reserva 2004
Description
Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo, the three classic varieties of Rioja grapes.
Graciano has a very bright color and high acidity;
Mazuela provides flavor and abundant tannin, both together with Tempranillo, are the perfect coupage for long-maturing wines.
Faithful to Rioja, faithful to its origins.
Cherry red evolving into an intense ruby color.
Intense and complex.
Sweet and warm notes well integrated with ripe fruit, hints of vanilla and sensations of cinnamon, blonde tobacco and cocoa.
Elegant in the mouth, structured and with good acidity.
The finish is sweet and surprising for a Rioja Gran Reserva.
In the mouth there is a blend of very ripe fruit, vanilla and toasted notes.
Minimum 26 months in French and American oak barrels.
Masterpieces take their time. Aged and refined for longer. Released only when optimal.
