3.4/5 (5 customers)

Rating: Robert Parker 90/100
Year after year, Bodegas Castillo Labastida’s Reserva shows unfailing consistency in quality, achieved through meticulous control of fermentation and extended aging (24 months) in French and American oak barrels. The 2004 vintage is intense, complex, and delightful, with notes of wild berries, cocoa, cherry, spices, and tobacco... A must-try!
