like it's bigger sibling el anejón, this reserva from a warm vintage is almost one-quarter cabernet sauvignon and merlot in addition to tinto fino (tempranillo). the opening of burnt earth, brandied cherry, rubber and herbal aromas is distinct. this feels a bit tough and chewy, with boysenberry, cassis, vanilla-cream and herbal spice flavors. a fairly smooth finish is young and vital. this should improve with aging. best from 2019–2026.
