92pts View from the Cellar– 2014 vintage

“The Reserva cuvée from Viña Jaraba is again a blend of seventy percent tempranillo, twenty percent
cabernet sauvignon and ten percent merlot, with the wine aged in French and American barrels for
twelve months prior to bottling. The wine is evolving very gracefully at age seven, offering up a deep
and complex nose of black cherries, cassis, woodsmoke, a nice base of spice elements, just a whisper of
the walnuts to come with further bottle age, a bit of chicory and a nice touch of cedary oak. On the
palate the wine is pure, full-bodied, focused and resolving beautifully, with impressive complexity, a
good core and fine length and grip on the classy finish. There is still a bit of tannin here to continue to
carry the wine into the future, but it is wide open today and drinking very well indeed. 2018-2035.”
