The 2004 Reserva, composed of 75% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo, 5% Garnacha, and 10% other varietals, spent 23 months in French, Russian, and American oak. Medium dark ruby-colored, it offers an excellent bouquet of cedar, spice box, black cherry, and blackberry. This leads to an elegant, complex, medium to full-bodied wine with excellent depth, balance, and length. It will evolve for 3-4 years and drink well through 2020.
