Beautiful American oak on the nose. Very good flavour as well. Definitely worth buying two for £5.49. 2001 Gran Reserva for this price. It’s madness!

Tasted this again last night and it had lost all its beauty. No idea what happened to the American oak nose. Dull and not at all resembling a Gran Reserva from anywhere. Taken away it's badge.

Yes, the first was at Majestic and the second at home. I have a third. Perhaps I'll open it tomorrow. Will report back.
