MARQUÉS DE CÁCERES GRAN RESERVA

Marqués de Cáceres Gran Reserva

Deep, dark burgundy colour enhanced by a slightly brick-red rim, a sign of its long and careful refinement in bottle. Its complex nose filled with aromas of fine wood blend together with spicy notes and balsamic undertones. This Gran Reserva is a modern wine: alive on the palate, with character and volume on tasting. Spicy and woody notes are present in the aftertaste. In the glass, the wine unfolds a range of very distinctive characteristics thanks to its remarkable complexity and refinement. A complex, lengthy, persistent finish with a luscious aftertaste. An unquestionably classy wine.
