Aged 18 months in "Allier" French oak casks. Dark and shiny cherry red color with blue edges. Spicy and vanilla aromas, high roast coffee from its aging in oak. The entry in the mouth is balsamic and fresh, very flagrant and very complex with round, soft and velvety tannins, making clear its complex youth. Its long persistence, fruit and toasted notes are back again. The nice integration of the fruit with the cask result in a long and very integrated wine to drink or guard in bottle.
What the critics say...

The 2004 Reserva delivers a beautifully complex bouquet followed by lush, succulent fruit on the palate. Velvety-textured with well-concealed tannin, it can be approached now but will be at its best from 2014 to 2029.
