Robert Parker

“The 2008 Ares Reserva was aged for 26 months in 25% new French oak barrels (Allier and Tronçais). It has a fragrant bouquet with lovely minerality and balance, and a precise, mineral finish that is very well defined. Best enjoyed through 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!
