This is an utterly awesome Reserva Rioja. There is fabulous purity and intensity to the ripe cherry fruit, which mingles seamlessly with the fine oak. A wine of marvellous hamony, polished texture and understated complexity that subtly fans out on the finish, gradually revealing tobacco, warm cedar, dry spice and light floral scents. Dense, sweet and polished on the palate, it is a beautifully balanced wine with very fine tannins. Utterly ready to drink now, it would also show pleasant evolution over the next five years.

Press Review
92/100 - A delicate vintage marked by good acidity and fluidity. Lively red and blue fruits with some subtle sweet spices. The tannins are firm and fresh with medium body and a long but elegant finish. A clear reflection of the year. 100% tempranillo. Delicious now or hold.
