TASTING NOTES OF Imperial Gran Reserva 1998: Bright and clean red color with cherry hues on a ruby background. The nose is elegant, spicy, with hints of black licorice and balsamic aromas reminiscent of barrel aging. The palate has a soft, velvety and intense that they do persist in time and memory entry.

3/5

Classic red cherry color of a 2009. Aromas of coffee, toffee. Strong flavour which reminds me of strawberry candy.
We paired the Imperial Gran Reserva with a starter.
We drank it at a meeting with friends.
They had it in a wine bar.
A wine for special occasions.
