Janus Gran Reserva 2018 Bodegas Alejandro Fernandez Pesquera

Professionele reviews

James Suckling (95)

Don’t be put off by the full swing of oak overlay here, showing plenty of hazelnuts, pine cones, sweet spices and vanilla characters. There is also a streak of minerality alongside the deep and fresh blackberries with a hint of tar. Tons of dusty tannins on the full-bodied palate with juicy berries, before an extremely long and creamy finish with vanilla, blueberries and orange peel at the end. Not a subtle wine, but it flatters with its exuberance and it has a lot to offer.

Decanter (96)

Bold spicy, coconut oak, red and black fruit nose. Lively and fresh on the palate with herbal, floral and orchard fruit notes. A rather heart-stopping wine that encourages contemplation.
