The 1996 Reserva was also the product of a challenging vintage

dense and chewy

almost brooding wine under which lurks succulent

nicely balanced wine whose slightly fiery but persistent finish features rather fine tannins and good grip

The palate is medium-bodied with impressive tension and wonderful freshness right from the start

Because butterscotch and caramel add another sweet dimension to the sugars of the fruit? It is not better, it is different. Just as the palate is ready to succumb to the sweet embrace of tropical exuberance, a sprinkling of ginger gives the taste buds the kiss of life. (MS)
