The 2004 Reserva comes from older vines. It is 95% Tempranillo and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 24 months in French oak. Opaque purple-colored, it exhibits a brooding bouquet of wood smoke, pencil lead, mineral, blueberry, and blackberry. Medium to full-bodied, the wine has excellent depth and concentration. There are layers of flavor and some well-concealed ripe tannin. Give this lengthy effort another 3-4 years in the cellar and drink it through 2030.

Cherry, tobacco, cedar and vanilla notes mingle in this polished red. Not muscular, but balanced, with a lively floral finish. Drink now through 2011. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
