Always an impressive wine, this latest Reserva of Conde de Vimioso is deceptively smooth, packed with ripe and juicy black fruits. It’s deceptive because under the velvet surface there are powerful tannins at work. The result is a wine for aging over several years. ——R.V.(11/1/2011)—— 92

Opulently rich and velvet, this is a dense and very concentrated wine. It has the tannins, but they are almost overwhelmed by gorgeous ripe fruit, with sweet spices and acidity. Drink now.——R.V.(12/15/2009)—— 91
