RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 30th Oct 2020
The classical, sleek and polished 2014 Reserva was produced with a blend of Tempranillo with 10% Graciano from their El Estanque estate vineyards. The grapes fermented separately and matured in French and American oak barrels for 18 months. The nose has it all — the ripe berries, the forest floor, the sweet spices, the balsamic incense and cigar ash — all in harmony and integration. The palate is medium-bodied with resolved tannins and good balance, lively and tasty, almost salty. Great price too. 118,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in 2018.

Dark ruby. Oak-spiced cherry and cassis on the nose and palate, along with hints of licorice and mocha. In a lush, open-knit style, showing good depth and a hint of jamminess on the gently tannic finish. Aged for two years in a combination of French and American oak barrels.
