James Suckling bewertet den Reserva Especial 2012 im July 2017 wie folgt:
A linear and super-fine wine with black cherry and berry character and hints of flowers. Full body yet very tight and closed. Beautiful texture. Drink now.

I had the chance to taste two vintages next to each other of the "special selection" red. the younger of which was the 2012 Selección Especial. It's from a dry and warm year where the canopy management and the absence of cover crop resulted in a fresher wine than anticipated. This is always a blend of Tempranillo. Garnacha. Graciano and Mazuelo. usually from older. poorer terraces and older vines. fermented in oak vats and aged in new barriques and then racked to neutral. used barrels. There was a small crop but they harvested late (they tend to have their vineyards in cooler zones). and they saw rains at the end of the harvest. so they didn't produce Torre Muga or Prado Enea. and they even produced less of this. It has perfect ripeness. aromas of spices and noble woods. It has a polished. sleek palate with fine tannins and good freshness. This is very good within the context. 120.000 bottles produced.
