Score 90/100 · Drink 2018-2026, Jeb Dunnuck, Mar 2018
A blend of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha and the rest Graciano, the 2012 Reserva sports a deep ruby/purple color as well as lots of blackberry, licorice, asphalt, and spicy vanilla oak aomatics. This deep, rich, medium to full-bodied, pleasure-bent beauty has tons of charm, no hard edges, and a great finish. It's about as easy drinking and quaffable as it gets. This cuvée spent 20 months in a mix of new and used French oak.
