"The 2009 Reserva is composed of an identical blend to the Palacio del Burgo 2009 Reserva: 85% Tempranillo, 10% Grenache and 5% Carignan. It develops great complexity and virtually the same character as the Palacio del Burgo 2009 Reserva: vanilla, new leather and black cherry, in a medium-bodied, elegant, complex and concentrated style. Drink it over the next two to three years. (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
