Wood tones. Very good right after opening. No need to breath it.

Quite complex. Black pepper, bell pepper, refined oak, beautiful length in the finish. Quite well made.

Reserva is a bit oaky for my taste, I'm more of a crianza guy.

Done one suggested black cherry and I very much taste that initially, but the after taste is watered down a smidge. Not a hearty wine but not bad.

Black fruit and medium acid. This wine is well balanced and compact, but nothing flashy.
