The 2001 Hidalgo-Arviza Reserva is clearly meant to be more serious but the additional oak treatment has muted the aromatics slightly and the fruit is more compressed. Nervertheless, there is plenty to like here. There is more than ample fruit and the wine’s structure suggests that it should continue to evolve for several years. It may be that in 6-8 years the Reserva will overtake the lighter weight but vibrantly fruity Crianza. Importer:Hidalgo Imports, Miami, FL; tel. (786) 489-1525
