It primarily uses Tempranillo, aligning with my preferences, and incorporates a full-bodied structure with balanced acidity. The Gran Reserva status suggests extended barrel aging, contributing to notes of oak, vanilla, and spice, which align well with your desired tasting notes. The Rioja region is close to Castilla y León, and the inclusion of Mazuelo adds complexity, making it slightly different from a Syrah blend but still complementary.
