| TASTING NOTE: The 2012 Reserva showed lots of roasted sesame seed, smoky and oaky notes intermixed with aromas of nuts and ripe berry fruit. The palate showed abundant, dusty tannins that give it a little bit of a drying texture. This blend of 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano was cropped from a very dry and warm vintage. The wine matured in oak for 18 months. Drink date: 2016-2019. Score - 90 (Luis Gutierrez, robertparker.com, Aug. 30, 2016) |
