Simple pear and peach aromas set up a soft, somewhat flabby palate with sweet but already fading tropical fruit flavors. Not a lot of spine or kick to this wine; it finishes a bit mealy and wan. ——M.S.(9/1/2011)—— 83

In this case “reserva” equals heavily oaked, and the nose exhibits a bit too much toast and popcorn. The palate is also pretty woody but it’s salvaged by baked apple, lemon and pecan flavors. Finishes slightly grabby, with some peach flavor and a hint of resin.——M.S.(9/1/2007)—— 84
