2017 Gran Reserva

The 2017 Protos Gran Reserva is 100% Tempranillo from Ribera del Duero. It was aged for 24 months in barrel (80% French oak, 20% American oak) and 36 months in bottle before release. Aromas include balsamic, bay leaf, underbrush, blackberry, preserves and red fruit. The palate is compact, with active, present tannins and ripe fruit. A balsamic streak lingers on the finish. Structured and expressive, shaped by a warm vintage. Complex.
