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

8-12 years typical for Gran Reserva Navarra from quality vintage, with best drinking within 8-13 years from vintage

Drinking window

2023 to 2040

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

Decant

Yes (45-60 minutes) — To allow the wine to open up, soften remaining tannins, and enhance aromatics

Sustainability

Sustainability score: 5/10

Standard vineyard and cellar practices typical of Navarra commercial wineries; some focus on quality with traditional aging; limited info on organic or biodynamic practices

While Bodegas Agramont produces quality Gran Reserva wines following traditional Spanish methods, there is limited public information on explicit sustainability programs, certifications, or advanced eco-friendly practices.
