More aromatic than the 2013 Reserva, with fruity berry character, and some oak, and menthol-eucalytptus. Much more assertive than the 2013 Reserva as well, with strong juicy berry. Lots of tannins and acid seem to suggest a long life. For me, 89 points now, but also with much potential. Given my descriptors, it would seem I should score this higher than the 2013, but that just seemed to better in an intangible way today.
