Critics Ratings
‘The 2006 Reserva has a classic, very pure bouquet of warm leather, dried herbs and dark berry fruit, and it offers scents of melted tar with continued aeration. The palate is very harmonious with succulent red cherries, mulberry and dried fig, with subtle white pepper notes sprinkled over the finish. This constitutes a worthy follow-up to the superb 2005 and will have the same propensity to age. Drink now-2025.’ - Neal Martin, Wine Advocate, 93/100
‘Ruby-red. Sexy, floral-accented aromas of redcurrant and cherry, with cola and cedary oak notes adding complexity. Supple and seamless on the palate, distinguished by sweet red fruit flavors and a deeper note of licorice. Finishes on a smoky note, with very good energy and lift.’ -Josh Raynolds, Vinous, 90/100 (Sep 2012)
