Note di degustazione
The 2019 Reserva, sourced from old vineyards in La Aguilera, Ribera del Duero, was aged for up to three years in used oak barrels. Garnet in hue. Its red fruit nose features herbs, dried flowers, plums and cherries. The focused palate is lean and relatively juicy, with a lingering chalky texture leading to a ripe, flavorful finish. This wine offers a contrasting experience with its rich yet compact mouthfeel.

2019 was a warm and dry low-yielding year, somewhat similar to 2015, and the 2019 Reserva could be the modern version of the 2015—a round, lush and approachable Reserva that is perfumed and fruit-driven, with spices in the background. It's a hedonist cuvée of 95% Tempranillo and 5% other grapes from some of the oldest grapes in the village. It fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts followed by a slow malolactic in 228-liter French oak barrels, mostly used, where the wine matured for 35 months. It reveals very good integration of the oak that is neatly folded into the wine. It shows the tannic structure of the 2019 vintage. 23,875 bottles and 430 magnums produced. It was bottled in September 2022.
