Clean nose, with good intensity. Memories of ripe fruit, preserve (jam) on a background of fine wood, with a marked balsamic (eucalyptus, pine) character.

Ripe and fresh palate with firm but suave tannins and a savory character overlaid with powerful smoky aromatics of roasted oak and licorice.

It is produced from a blend of 85% Tempranillo and 15% Graciano from selected plots of vineyards averaging over 45 years of age and the time in barrel is extended to 20 months, which makes for a compact and energetic wine. It has harmonious notes of fruit and spice, good acidity and length that will require a little bit more time to be ready for prime time drinking. Drink 2015-2020. - Luis Gutierrez\"\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\t\u003cstrong\u003e- Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (Issue #210, December 2013), 92+ pts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\t \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luis Canas","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44948796833839,"sku":"S0EE332001SRM","price":40.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0741\/4677\/5087\/files\/luiscanasselecctionfamilia.jpg?v=1771483688","url":"https:\/\/timelesswinesdirect.com\/products\/luis-canas-reserva-seleccion-de-la-familia-rioja-2008","provider":"timelesswines.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
