Spice and dark, stewed fruit aromas, with vanilla, pastry and jam notes. Long, structured finish.
Pairs well with T-bone steak and grilled meats in general. Grilled tuna. Aged and fatty cheeses. With desserts, it pairs very well with baked cheesecake or chocolate cake.
Savory spices and red berries with iron, white pepper, grilled sesame and citrus. Restrained, pretty complex and traditional, this has medium body, fine tannins and a long, juicy finish. - 93pts James Suckling

About the Producer
Bodegas Faustino, one of the ‘First Families of Rioja’, was founded in 1861 by the Martinez family and is actively managed today by the 4th generation Martinez daughters. Faustino received its recognition from the first export of Faustino Reserva wines in the 1960s. Today, it stands as best-selling Gran Reserva in the world, and the iconic bottle featuring Rembrandt's art has become the symbol of the excellence of Rioja wines. Faustino wines are now enjoyed in more than 140 countries.
