Score 88/100 · Drink 2007-2010, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Feb 2007

The 2003 Seleccion Especial is a blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot. Aged for 18 months in used French barriques, it is dense ruby in color with a nose of red berries, black cherry, and hints of spice and vanilla. Silky red fruits are supported by fine, ripe tannins leading to a medium long finish. It is drinking well now and should last for several more years. Importer: Kobrand Corporation, New York, NY; tel.

Score 90/100 · Josh Raynolds, Sep 2006

(75% tempranillo, 20% cabernet sauvignon and 5% merlot) Saturated ruby. Rich, spicy and exotic aromas of cherry, redcurrant, ripe strawberry, rhubarb and roasted coffee. Rich and weighty on the palate, with impressive energy and lift to the ripe, spicy red fruit flavors. Quite young and juicy. Finishes long, bright and concentrated, with fine-grained tannins and the stuffing to age.
