The 2022 Reserva Tannat shows a deep ruby color with aromas of ripe blackberry, plum, and violets, layered with subtle spice and mineral freshness. On the palate, it balances structured yet polished tannins with vibrant acidity, leading to a long, graceful finish. Aged in French oak for added depth, this is a wine that bridges tradition and modern precision — ideal for grilled meats, roasted lamb, or thoughtful cellaring.
