Faustino I 1996 Grand Reserva

Its's hard to say having a single favorite wine or not, but Spanish red from Rioja region is always my favorite, and Fautino I 1996 is the Spanish red I highly recommend and is definitley a top Five for me~A good bargain and definitely a conversation piece~ 

The wine aged Two - Three years in Oak and refine in bottle for 4 years, besides, 1996 is a good harvest year in Rioja, Spain. Its Intense bright ruby red color and the mellow, smooth velvet like taste simply just out range other wine.  Highly recommanded.
