Deep, picota cherry red. A sophisticated nose of black fruits and sweet cinnamon spice. Soft tannins weave through the lush, black fruit base, balanced by notes of cacao, roasted hazelnut and a touch of pepper.
Beronia Description
A modern-style Reserva, full-bodied and complex, made from grapes grown on vines more than 40 years old. Made from our prized, old vine grapes, our Reserva is contemporary in style with an irresistible complexity. After the careful harvest of our very best grapes, our Reserva begins its fermentation. This is a slow and controlled process, enabling all the colour and aroma from the grapes to be extracted. Over eighteen months in mixed French and American oak barrels, the wine gradually develops its trademark smoothness and complexity, furthered by spending eighteen months in bottle prior to release.
James Suckling: 91 Points
This reserva shows notes of blackberries and spices with some hints of underbrush and sweet tobacco. This is balanced, with polished tannins, berry character and a pleasant, longish finish. Drink now or hold.
Wine Spectator: 90 Points
A balanced, medium-bodied version, with light, taut tannins providing fine-grained texture and support for flavors of mulled cherry, tobacco, red licorice and cocoa powder, this is creamy and fragrant on the finish. Tempranillo, Mazuelo and Graciano.
