The Faustino I Gran Reserva Rioja is clean and bright in the glass with a ruby color developing to maroon. On the nose is complex and elegant, wide fruity and spicy notes. On the mouth, elegant, with pleasant hints due to the barrel ageing. Long and silky finish.
It matches with any kind of meat and mushrooms rice. Some tasty or oily fish such as tuna or cod. Medium-aged cheese such as emmental or gruyere.
Wine Enthusiast Review (Editors' Choice):
Dark black cherry in color, this wine has a nose of Chambord, dark chocolate and violet. It is smooth at first sip, with notes of chocolate that fill the palate and are quickly joined by clove, black plum and cassis flavors. -M.D.
