The nose is delicate, slightly dusty and very alluring with ample dark fruit, graphite and pencil lead aromasand hints of sandalwood, tobacco, anise and bay leaf creating complexity. The palate is so smooth and lithewith layers of juicy blueberry and classic cassis flavours balanced with smoky, earthy nuances. The wine isjuicy and supple with attractive acidity to balance and enough fullness and complexity on the mid-palate. Itis classic in style, pliant and opulent, yet textured and elegant with its lush, smooth, cocoa-powdery tanninstructure. The finish is long and herbaceous with beautiful, focused cedar oak nuances – a mouth-wateringwine with finesse and class.

With a delightful and complex nose, the 2018 Stellenbosch Cabernet Sauvignon bursts with aromas of juicy black plum, currant and crème de cassis before elegant baking spices waft out of the glass with a soft mineral essence. Medium to full-bodied, the wine displays elements of graphite and pencil shavings with notions of baked clay and dusty cherry skin before energetic acidity and firm tannins weigh on the palate. With sweet herbs and dried tobacco, the wine finishes long, complex and lingering with a firm, tannic edge. With the Franschhoek Cabernet Sauvignon getting the same treatment and selling at the same price, my money is on this Stellenbosch Cabernet. Almost 20,000 bottles were filled after spending 22 months in 70% new French oak. 91

I like this Reserva from RdD. 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in oak barrels.
3.8 stars with more aging potential.
A deep ruby red and purple shades. Thick long legs in the glass.
On the nose medium intense aromas of blackberries, black cherries, black raspberries, horse saddle, leather and slightly oak.

90 pts Given the quality of the Crianza I really was delighted to find this Reserva, needs way more time to fully flower however, still very enjoyable for me now. The Crianza is ready now, but this shows sleeping intensity and great future potential and longevity, wait a few years however.
Typical earthy red fruit with good use of oak, dusty vanilla. Weighty, full with a long finish, it will be a star in the future.
