when he planted his own vineyard

you need to swirl the glass like crazy to get something out of it

the wine is deep

for what I have previously found to be an excellent Pomerol is evolving into a showstopper

Remirez Ganuza, Rioja Gran Reserva other_regions when he planted his ownThe red 2009 Gran Reserva has some traces of classical Rioja and "old wine" character, despite being surprisingly youthful for a wine that is already ten years old. The wine is quite dark and represents the style of warm and dry vintage quite faithfully. The wine is powerful but has very good harmony, and the tannins are fine, round and mostly resolved; there is very good balance and harmony. It finishes dry and clean, with a long lingering aftertaste.
