The purple-colored 2005 Torre Albeniz Reserva is 97% Tempranillo and 3% Blanca del Pais aged for 23 months in seasoned French oak. It exhibits a brooding bouquet of violets, cedar, leather, and blackberry. This is followed by a firm, structured wine with excellent depth and plenty of tannin. It will benefit from 6-8 years of cellaring and offer prime drinking from 2016 to 2030.
