Baron De Lajoyosa Gran Reserva, Ignacio Marin, 2015 13.5%

An exceptional value (Spain right?) Gran Reserva from house favourite Ignacio Marin. The gold wire on the bottle splits the crowd, but it's there because the producer wants the bottle to stand out.

60% Garnacha, 20% Tempranillo and 20% Cariñena. A couple of years in oak followed by more in bottle, this is showing lovely age characteristics including dried fruits, leather and coffee.

Food pairing: Red meat, poultry and roasts
