| WA 91 (9/2021): The 2012 Reserva is mostly Vallado's field blend from old vines. It comes in at 14.5% alcohol. This is part of our vertical this report. Young, fruity and rich, this also has developed a bit of what seems to be a slightly high-toned nuance, which constrains my enthusiasm a bit. It is balanced and very approachable overall, though. Ultimately, it tastes good too. Unlike some earlier powerhouses, this (like the predecessor in the vertical, the 2011) is quite easy to drink today. This, like most of the rest, is entitled to an expansion of the end-date drinking window, but I don't know that this will be as likely to reward long aging, as most of the older vintages are. It drinks nicely now. I can't see a reason to hold it, even though it will hold and probably longer than indicated, at that. |
