(Automatically translated) 2016 vintage, what a structure! Very woody and strong, this red goes well with lamb or game. Tasty and warm, it should be taken in moderation because it can seem heavy in the long run with its 14 degrees of alcohol. A must try for oak barrel lovers.

(Automatically translated) Faustino I Gran Reserva is an elegant and complex Rioja, with aromas of ripe fruit, vanilla and leather. On the palate it is balanced, with supple tannins and a long finish. Ideal with red meats or mature cheeses. A Spanish classic to discover!
