Faustino I Gran Reserva Rioja, 2009.
$34.99 from Total Wine.
Lauren says, "Red plum color. Rich aroma of baking spices, vanilla, and red cherry. Flavor of blackberries, cocoa, and licorice. Slightly cherry cola. Deep tannins. Light acidity. Medium to full bodied. Very rich. I like it but keep in mind it is heavy and best with a meal. Packs a punch. 8/10. "
Zach says, "Color is garnet. Nose is complex. Notes of cherry cola, shoe polish, and herbs. Heavy mouthfeel. Moderate, smooth tannin. Beautiful acidity. Smooth, earthy, and acidic finish. Really opened up with time. Give at least 45-60 minutes before drinking. The most pleasant wine we have had in some time. 8.3/10"
