Rating: Robert Parker 90/100
Year after year, Bodegas Castillo Labastida'sCuvée Reserva shows unfailing consistency of quality, brought about by rigorous control of fermentation and prolonged ageing (24 months) in French and American oak barrels. The 2004 vintage is intense, complex and pleasing, with notes of wild fruit, cocoa, cherry, spices, tobacco... A must-discover!
