Saturated ruby. Oak-spiced dark berry and cherry aromas are complemented by a smoky nuance and building florality. Seamless and energetic on the palate, offering juicy bitter cherry and blackberry flavors that spread out on the back half. The spicy note comes back on the very long, smooth and gently tannic finish, which leaves cherry pie and candied floral notes behind.

There are some herbal notes on the nose of the 2014 Reserva and perhaps some blurry aromas, but it's clean. The palate is medium-bodied, with some rusticity, a bit dusty and with abundant tannins. The finish is quite dry. It needs food. 40,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2019.
