Robert Parker's WINE ADVOCATE Rating & Tasting notes: 92+ Points
The 2003 JJ Jacinto Jaure Gran Reserva is a
blend of Malbec (40%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), and Syrah
(30%). The fruit was sourced from a 53 year old vineyard
and aged for 18 months in a new French oak before being
bottled unfiltered. Purple in color, it has a fragrant
bouquet of pain grillé, Asian spices, pencil lead, black
cherry, blueberry, and black currant. Ripe and sweet on the
palate, it has plenty of silky tannin well-concealed under a
blanket of fruit. Nicely balanced and lengthy, it will
evolve for 6-8 years and drink well through 2025.

Bright and intense purplish-red color. Its aroma combines
ripe red fruits, such as cassis, plums, and blackberries;
together with vanilla, chocolate, and leather. It
possesses great structure, round and perfectly well balanced.
Spices and earthly aromas are present, and tannins are firm.
Perfectly balanced acidity.
Superb structure, lavish mouthful of enriched fruits, plush and
spicy.
Aged in oak barrels, it is a harmonious wine with a long and
complex finish.
