1 Bottle Don Jacobo Rioja Gran Reserva Gift Pack

Description

Selected from old vine Tempranillo (85%), Grenache and Mazuelo (aka Carignan) grown on the hillside of Moncalvillo just south of Burgos and the Camino de Santiago in Rioja Alta. This gets a whopping 3 years in American oak barrels prior to bottling, then add another 9+ years in bottle maturation for a sense of the investment in time here.

Rich, full and smooth on the open, melt-in-the-mouth tannins give way to layer upon layer of dried black fruit compote, dark chocolate, cigar box, coffee bean minerality, toasted nuts, Christmas spices and sweet molasses. A total stunner.
