2004 Casado Morales Gran Reserva 14% abv with 85% Tempranillo and 15% Graciano. This bottle was far better than the previous one with ruby color and bricking at the edges..The nose soared with strong eucalyptus notes that followed on the palate. Palate fruit was mostly sour cherry and a bit of sweet cherry. Still a bit tannic on opening, the wine smoothed out with 15 min. of air. I'd say it should be consumed by 2020 before the fruit starts to fade. Very nice wine and a RMP 94.
