The 2005 Reserva is a blend of 50% Tempranillo, 25% Mazuelo, and 25% Garnacha that spent 24 months in seasoned American oak. Purple-colored, it emits an enticing bouquet of mineral, damp earth, cigar box, incense, and assorted black fruits. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it reveals layers of savory fruit, plenty of earthy spice notes, incipient complexity and enough underlying structure to evolve for another 2-3 years. It will offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2020. It is an outstanding value. Importer: Winebow Inc., New York, NY; www.winebow.com
