2014 Paganos El Puntido Gran Reserva

2014 El Puntido Gran Reserva is a polished Rioja red that brings together depth, finesse, and the kind of bottle age that only a carefully made Gran Reserva can deliver. From one of Rioja’s most respected modern estates, it shows the balance and complexity collectors look for, while still remaining rooted in classic Spanish winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it is likely to show a deep ruby core with garnet tones at the rim, reflecting both maturity and concentration. The nose typically opens with layered aromas of ripe dark cherry, plum, dried fig, cedar, tobacco, sweet spice, and subtle earthy notes, with a refined touch of oak in the background. On the palate, it should feel structured yet elegant, with mature fruit framed by fine tannins and fresh acidity. Expect a long, composed finish marked by spice, leather, savory nuance, and lingering dark fruit. As a Gran Reserva from a strong vintage, it should already be drinking beautifully, while still having the potential to evolve further in bottle over the next several years.

Production
El Puntido comes from Rioja, where the combination of continental influence, warm summers, and cooling nights helps preserve freshness in the grapes while allowing full phenolic ripeness. The wine is typically crafted from carefully selected fruit and made with a focus on precision and age-worthiness, with traditional Rioja aging playing an important role in its Gran Reserva profile.

Food & Serving
This wine pairs wonderfully with roasted lamb, braised beef, game, mushroom dishes, and mature hard cheeses. Serve it at around 16-18°C, and consider decanting for 30-60 minutes if the bottle is opened relatively young to help the aromatics unfold.

Producer
Paganos is part of the respected Rioja landscape and is associated with a modern, quality-driven approach to the region’s classic style. The estate is known for producing expressive wines with strong site character and careful élevage, helping it earn recognition among fans of premium Rioja.
