The 2006 Reserva has a tight nose of dark cherries and iodine that maintains fine delineation and focus, although it needs another two or three years to open up and develop secondary aromas. The palate is medium-bodied with supple, leathery black fruit, fine tannins and a composed finish with touches of underbrush and licorice. This is a nicely composed, refined Rioja with the substance to age. Drink now-2018.
