Tomato leaf and nettle aromas join with grapefruit and tropical fruit. This is both more pungent and rounder than the Reserva, with greater concentration and verve. ——W.E.(2/1/2009)—— 88

Comfortable and true smelling, with prickle and snap on the nose. The palate is round but also zesty. There’s apple and citrus in the lead, and then some drying white pepper on the finish. Clean and friendly, not fancy, but an honest and tasty reflection of the Leyda Valley. Drink now.——M.S.(3/1/2009)—— 87

Surprisingly fresh and vital despite having a few years under its belt. Here’s a round SB with a sweet nose of pear, vanilla and butter. The palate is forward and almondy sweet, with a hint of banana peeking in there. And the finish is round and soft. This wine is at its peak now. ——M.S.(7/1/2003)—— 86
