More Reviews

Opinions about wine differ greatly as the experience is subjective. You may find it helpful to compare this critical evaluation of the wine with mine as well as your own:
Winemaking:
Slow fermentations, at controlled temperatures, in 33,600 litre stainless steel tanks with daily pumping-over to ensure greater extraction of flavours. Malolactic fermentation is then carried out. After fermentation, wine remains 18 months in american oak.

Tasting notes:
Solar de Samaniego Reserva is a highly aromatic wine with a complex nose in which you can find ripe fruit aromas (kirsch, prunes, blackcurrants, blackberries, jam) in perfect harmony with aromas of cocoa and spices (liquorice, eucalyptus, aniseed, cloves, nutmeg). In the mouth it is velvety, round, and full.

AWARDS (2003 Vintage):
Silver in Bacchus World Wine Awards 2010
Bronze in International Wine & Spirit Competition 2010
Silver in CINVE 2010
