Robert Parker

"The Ares Reserva 2008 was aged for 26 months in 25% new French oak barrels (Allier and Tronçais). It has a fragrant bouquet with beautiful minerality and balance, with a precise, mineral finish that is very well defined. Drink until 2020. (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker). An intense red, with a beautiful balance between fruit and oak. Persistent and long on the finish, it is very elegant!
