Faustino I Gran Reserva 2001
- 750 ml bottle
Product details
It amazes me how kept wines from Rioja keep appearing as if they were just bottled yesterday but not this famous Gran Reserva. Syrupy and caramelized, bright and earthy. Mulled plum and clove with citrus accents. Bretty like a barn's floor. Cedar and leather, big oak doors. Real mutton Rioja, still tannic, energetic and searing. Kicking it old school but wild and alive. Score - 93. (Michael Godel, winealign.com, Nov. 17, 2014)
