CELLAR SELECTION
This deep-garnet-colored wine has aromas of blackberry, black currant and olive tapenade. It is soft at first sip, and then rugged tannins build on the palate, ferrying flavors of dark plum, pomegranate, cocoa powder, thyme and orange zest that wend their way to a surprisingly bright finish. Drink through 2035.

Tasting Notes for Faustino Gran Faustino I Gran Reserva Rioja 2004

Faustino Gran Faustino I Gran Reserva Rioja is a nuanced and plush wine, offering a sophisticated blend of flavors and a long, delicate finish.

Appearance: Garnet-colored with a bright, medium-bodied clarity and potential for further aging.

Aroma: The nose is clean and intense, dominated by tertiary aromas of prunes and ripe fruit, complemented by spicy and balsamic notes from the barrel aging. Hints of black pepper also emerge, highlighting the Graciano in the blend.

Palate: On the palate, it showcases elegance and complexity. The entry is subtle, gradually revealing layers of liquorice, candied fruit, cocoa, and balsamic notes. Well-balanced acidity and polished tannins contribute to its silky texture and roundness.

Finish: The finish is plush and delicate, with lingering sweet and nuanced flavors.

Varietal: Blend of Tempranillo, Graciano, and Mazuelo

Food Pairing: Ideal with roasted meats, game dishes, aged cheeses, and rich stews. It pairs wonderfully with lamb, beef, and dishes featuring complex, savory flavors.
