The Reserva Especial comes from the best grapes of the winery, all from vineyards over 20 years old. It is made only in exceptional vintages. Aging is over 12 months in new oak and 12 months in 7 year old oak. The wine rests in bottle for a further 12 months before release. It has a rich bouquet of vanilla, oak, cherry and warm, dry earth. This 2006 has aged beautifully and developed amazing silky texture and a finish that goes on for days.
