The 2005 Reserva is composed of 85% Tempranillo, 10% Garnacha, and 5% Graciano made in a relatively tight, lean style. It exhibits a nose of wood smoke, tobacco, mineral, and blackberry leading to a structured offering whose tannin persists into the finish. While greater harmony may be achieved with several years of additional cellaring, that is not a sure thing.Importer: Christopher Cannan, Europvin; www.europvin.com
