The wines destined for the Reserva production come from 40 years old vineyards which are tasted after its elaboration and it is chosen the most suitable type of wood for its aging.
Clean and shiny ruby color, good aromatic intensity with very ripe red fruit on a very elegant balsamic bottom showing up on the nose. In the mouth it is soft, fresh and with nerve. It has volume and the tannin is well integrated and polished. In the retro-olfaction, very ripe red fruit touches and liquor nuances come back again to make a memorable wine.
It is recommended to be tasted at 18ºC.
What the critics say...

The 2004 Reserva reflects the greatness of the vintage. Purple in color, it reveals aromas of smoke, Asian spices, incense, blackberry, and licorice. Dense and layered on the palate, it will benefit from another 2-3 years of bottle age. Drink it through 2019 if not longer.
