Classic Rioja it seems. Sleek fruit, tree bark, wet leaves, cigar box, smooth tannin 14 %(in 2015!!!). This is so fragrant. Once in the glass the scent starts to bring its perfume to the whole room. Well done and ready to go for years. Rioja...Yeah.

People like it, TA likes it( 95 pts), me...not so much. It could be because I drank yesterday and today amazing wine(Masciarelli - Iskra) or maybe I expected more for 7 years old Reserva. But how can I expect more for $17 wine? No miracle this time. I won't say this is bad wine, I will say it's done by book, no surprises, no excitement. Aromas of red cherry and cranberry, vanilla. Taste is smooth, but acidity and tannins show at wrong moments,at mid pallette and kill everything else like red cherry, red currant. Nice finish with some spice

Traditional Spanish wine. The Heras Cordon, the whole line, is very good. This reserve should get better in a couple of years, soft and round. Ripe red and black fruits, spices, chocolate. Delicious wine. It's worth a try.

Outstanding. Wonderful medium plus nose. Could smell it all night. Delicious on the palate too. Nice balance with plenty of structure and acidity to cellar
