TASTING NOTES

This is your ticket to an unforgettable celebration of time and tradition. The Faustino Gran Faustino I Gran Reserva 2004 is a true legend, born from a 2004 vintage that stands among the top three in Faustino’s history. With 38 months spent quietly maturing in barrels and an incredible 15 years ageing gracefully in the bottle, this wine is the ultimate expression of patience and craft.

Expect deep layers of rich, plush flavors—ripe dark cherries meld seamlessly with hints of cedar, vanilla, and delicate spices, creating a silky, velvety texture that lingers just long enough to leave you wanting more. Every sip feels like a warm embrace from old-world Rioja elegance, with a complexity that rewards those who take their time to savor it.

Perfect for marking milestone moments or elevating a sophisticated dinner, this Gran Reserva shines when paired with hearty roast lamb, aged cheeses, or slow-cooked stews. Let it be the centerpiece of an intimate gathering or a quiet night where the wine does all the talking. Savour the moment with a wine that’s as timeless as the memories you’ll create.

Scores

97/100

Classy wine with engaging tobacco, smoke and earthy aromatics. Complex and energetic with spice and red fruit flavours whooshing through the palate in a seductive style. A satisfying aged wine with thrillingly well-integrated new oak and a long, savoury finish.

96/100

This deep-garnet-colored wine has aromas of blackberry, black currant and olive tapenade. It is soft at first sip, and then rugged tannins build on the palate, ferrying flavors of dark plum, pomegranate, cocoa powder, thyme and orange zest that wend their way to a surprisingly bright finish. Drink through 2035.

95/100

An extremely well-aged and understated Rioja, showing discreet complexity with plums, oranges, leather, dusty red berries and minerals. Juicy and bright on the palate with a zesty nature to the berry and orange citrus. Silky, taut tannins and a long yet elegant finish. Lots of finesse here, with almost pinot etherealness. Tempranillo, graciano and mazuelo from selected plots. 36 months aging, with American oak in use, too. Drinkable now, but can hold for another 10 years.
