The outstanding 1999 Reserva Especial (1,000 cases produced) was aged 14 months in French oak. It boasts a deep ruby/purple color in addition to a Bordeaux-like perfume of lead pencil shavings intermixed with black currants, tobacco leaves, and spice box. Medium-bodied, elegant, well-balanced, and impressively endowed, it will provide pleasure over the next 7-8 years.Importer: Andre Tamars, De Maison Selections, Inc., Chapel Hill, NC; tel.
