Tasting profile
Red cherry, plum, dried herbs, leather, subtle spice and tobacco notes; oak influence evident but harmonizing; medium tannins and balanced acidity
Evolution: With more aging, tertiary notes like earth, cedar, and truffle will develop; fruit will soften and integrate further; tannins will smooth out
At peak: Expect a silky texture with complex layered aromatics including leather, fig, clove, and graphite; fruit will be mature but vibrant with a long finish
Structure
- Acidity
- Medium acidity providing freshness and balance, supporting aging
- Tannins
- Medium to medium-high, well-integrated and mellowing after 7+ years
- Alcohol
- Moderate to moderately high (13.5-14.0%), well integrated
- Aging potential
- 8-12 years typical for Gran Reserva Navarra from quality vintage, with best drinking within 8-13 years from vintage
Drinking window
- Peak drinking
- 2023 to 2040
- Optimal window
- 2021 to 2043
- Current status
- Ready now to early maturity
- Current condition
- The wine is drinking well with some bottle maturity showing; tannins are softened but there is ample structure for continued aging.
The peak period (2023-2028) coincides with full integration of oak and tannin maturation, where primary fruit transitions into elegant tertiary aromas while maintaining freshness. After 2028, gradual decline in fruit intensity and tannin structure will mark the beginning of the wine's descent.
Food pairing
Pairs well with roasted lamb, game meats, aged Manchego cheese, and rich stews. As it evolves, the wine also complements dishes with mushrooms, grilled vegetables, and cured meats.
Serving
- Serving temperature
- 16-18°C / 61-64°F
