medium lemon, shiny, clear colour. nose: ripe fruits - lemons, peach, apples, melon, passionfruit; plus soft vanilla notes. taste: medium (+) acidity; some tart apples and not ripe peaches, nectarines, melon; sweeter on the medium (+) finish - some caramel notes. not bad balance.

Yellowish. Not that much forthcoming on the nose, except to say that it is faintly true to the variety. Palate is coarse, short and alcoholic (13.5%) from the start to the end. No oak detected, which is not what I would have expected from a 'reserva' bottling at this commercial level. Maybe this lot L2V102821 06.44 was particular in this regard - hard to say given the immense quantities produced. But, disappointment reigned - there was no point at which I thought this worthy of the label. Ordinary wine.

Oh dear, this rates with the equivalent SB, really rather poor with an elevated reserva title, they do better than this, why!
