Robert Parker

(2008 Vintage Notes)

With its deep cherry-red color, this Rioja reveals a nose of good aromatic intensity, featuring notes of ripe red fruit and very elegant hints of balsamic vinegar. Flavorful, smooth, fresh, and with subtle hints of sweet fruit, this Spanish red offers well-integrated, polished tannins and a long, savory finish. A truly beautiful bottle not to be missed!

Review by Mr. NICOLAS B. Posted on September 17, 2019

A very good wine, but not necessarily more interesting than the classic cuvée. As a Reserva, it spends more time in barrels, but this isn’t necessarily an improvement in the end, as the oakiness is accentuated without adding any new flavors.

Unfortunately, one bottle was corked—I hope that's the only one...

Luis Canas offers us a beautifully crafted wine that is both rich and powerful, yet features well-integrated tannins and a lovely finish. Very approachable, it’s a sure bet for Tempranillo enthusiasts looking to discover this iconic Spanish grape variety.

Top-notch, superb quality—a must-have for your wine cellar to share with friends. It’s a fairly full-bodied wine, but one that will appeal to many people.
