The 1999 Gran Reserva is dark ruby-colored with a classic Rioja profile of cedar, tobacco, leather, black cherry, and blackberry. Firm and tannic on the palate, the wine lacks generosity and will need 5-7 years to show its best. It is something of a gamble. Importer: Chris Campbell, C & P Wines, New York, NY; tel. (917) 846-1708
