  Nice tempranillo with a high aromatic and flavor complexity. The 2006 Protos Reserva needs a little more time to develop its structure, however is approachable now. Prune and currant pop up over a dry and mineral air. Multilayered, we can sense a great deal of freshness with strawberries and oak, also present in the palate. Medium body, tannin and acidity are very sharp, slightly inharmonious. There is room for improvement here. Anyhow, the palate is savory and full of spices, specially in a medium/long finish. This must achieve a better balance within a couple of years. 92+

  A friend opened this at his 10/4/14 Tempranillo tasting. It had a deep, layered and powerful bouquet of mocha, cocoa, cherry, spice and mineral aromas. The palate was plush and dry with flavors of black cherry, mocha, cola, licorice, pepper and spice. Our group’s average score was 90.75.

  Skränmunkarna May 2014 (Minervaskolan, Umeå, Sweden.): Blind.
  A well built wine that has the future for it.
  
  Blackish red with purple streaks.
  Unusual aromas including liver paste and dough.
  In the mouth it has a great tannic grip, great diversity and spread. Because it's so young, it still isn't showing its true face and difficult to assess for me. Happy for Protos and that their wines, that their relentless evolution and quality control systems allow for creating great wines such as this.
  
  My crystal ball says: Not at its best if drank before 2020.
  My wallet says: Let's get wines that we prefer over this one at a better price.
