The 2003 Torre Albeniz Reserva was sourced from two vineyards whose vines average 73 years of age. The wine was aged in French oak for 21 months. Deeper colored and more compelling aromatically than the Crianza, it offers up an alluring bouquet of pain grille, spice box, scorched earth, violets, and blackberry. On the palate the wine is intense with excellent depth and breadth. Ripe and spicy, the wine is well balanced and should continue to unfold with another 3-5 years in the cellar. It will provide pleasure through 2025. Importer: Aurelio Cabestrero, Grapes of Spain, Lorton, VA; tel. (571) 642-0343
