This wine has aged well in our cellar. One bottle left. Nice fruit. Good feel and has character. Almost Cab-like. This is a Spanish blend wine which I believe includes Merlot, Cab-Sauv (not a surprise!), and Syrah plus some Spanish grapes. As a Reserva, I would be surprised if it didn't have more time than the '2010-2014' range indicated here.

No decantation. Ruby red color. Nose: Sweet red berries, violets, leather, spice (muscat/white pepper). Very pleasant, mature, masculine and inviting. Taste: Warm, slight tannin, oak, earthy, velvety, blueberries. Verdict: Excellent price performance, competes easily with more expensive wines. Full body. Probably a good fit with game; venison even grouse. Drinks well now, but will easily improve over the next 3-5 years.

very dark, shiny but not clear. decanted 2 hours. nose: sweet, alcohol, macerated fruits, sweet cherries. taste: accidity - proper level, mid tannic, meduim bodied, dark fruits, really fresh as for reserva, rather short finish. Will buy again.

Dark dried cherry fruit, great depth... a bit heavy on the vanilla notes from the oak.

Loftað í tvo tíma. Dökkrautt, berjakeimur, vottur af tanníni, silkimjúkt. Mjög gott.
