More about the tastingThe Reserva (10 hl/ha) is more inspired by Burgundy, the basic idea here is to show more lightness than thickness: strong yellow gold, fine biscuit-roasted almond nose, pain grillé, fine tobacco note, fruit is not at all sought, very tightly meshed on the palate, with a long-lasting mineral impression, a wine that seems rather closed in its youth, yet here every cog meshes with another, the texture is precision work, perfect as if made by a Swiss watchmaker. (Vergeiner, EUR 26.20)
