I had an opening exhibition the other night and was gifted this bottle, 2017 Marqués de Riscal Rioja Gran Reserva. Should I open or is patience a virtue?

I would never open a Gran Reserva before 10 years of age.

I would open it, no doubt. Why are they putting it on market if is not to drink and taste it?? Do not believe that older is better. Depends in many factors. That wine would be probably perfect now. Enjoy it!

Especially with this one I would say hold-not because it’s more age worthy than other grand reservas but because there’s an inexpensive, easy to get reserva of consistent quality from the same producer to act as a cellar defender.

Holding it wouldn’t be a bad idea but I’m too greedy
