Wine Critic Reviews
2019 was a warm and dry low-yielding year, somewhat similar to 2015, and the 2019 Reserva could be the modern version of the 2015—a round, lush and approachable Reserva that is perfumed and fruit-driven, with spices in the background. It's a hedonist cuvée of 95% Tempranillo and 5% other grapes from some of the oldest grapes in the village. It fermented in concrete with indigenous yeasts followed by a slow malolactic in 228-liter French oak barrels, mostly used, where the wine matured for 35 months. It reveals very good integration of the oak that is neatly folded into the wine. It shows the tannic structure of the 2019 vintage. 23,875 bottles and 430 magnums produced. It was bottled in September 2022.

Jorge Monzón's Reserva bottling makes full use of 20 different parcels of 100 year plus vineyards in his home village of La Aguilera. Partnering Tinto Fino with 5% of other grapes, it's rich, dense and concentrated, with thyme and rosemary aromas that give it a Mediterranean twist, bold tannins and notes of garrigue, iodine and black fig.
