RATING: 95 Pts. Tim AtkinVOELOS
Garnet-red with a cherry-colored rim, this Crianza wine stands out for its complexity, freshness, and elegance. On the nose, it is tremendously fragrant and appealing. The typical red-berry fruit of the tempranillo grape comes to the fore, accompanied by more subtle notes from the aging and mineral nuances. On the palate, it reflects the marked cold nature of the vintage. It is fresh and nicely balanced, with a good backbone and cellaring potential.
VALDEPOLEO
Clean and bright black cherry red color with deep aromas of red berries and subtle blackberry notes. Fresh and complex. Harmonious and multi-layered. A robust red with fine, well polished tannins, very well balanced and integrated.
URBINA GRAN RESERVA 2004
The 2004 Gran Reserva - the best vintage so far in the XXI century - is medium ruby colored with a lovely bouquet, remarkably complex, savoury and scented with notes of wild strawberries, forest floor and pouch tobacco, filigree tannins, and haunting balsamic sweetness.
