Another excellent bottle but quite different to the previous one and much less classic. The nose is very peppery, remarkably so in fact. A bit comes through in the mature flavour. Otherwise good mellow red fruits.

A classic reserva and nicely mature but with enough fruit togo on for some time. Nose of mocha and orange peel. Add redcurrants too and that nails the flavour. Long and complex, beautifully integrated. Excellent wine.

Pale brick red colour with an orange brown miniscus,complex cherry & strawberry nose with a hint of vanilla spice. On the mouth the tannins are mature with a light mouth feel, mainly burnt cherries dominates quite complex and a reasonable length. The wine has high acidity and I definately feel that it is a wine to drink now, at its peak. A wine that warrants food, I enjoyed it with a roast chicken today.
