The head-pruned vines from the property are the backbone for the 2019 Torre Albéniz Reserva, which comes through as very classical, serious and harmonious, with integrated oak and abundant but fine-grained tannins. It had a longer élevage but keeps very good freshness. The wine is powerful, ripe and complete, with a tasty mouthfeel and a velvety sensation. They harvested earlier in this warm and dry year, and the wine shows better balance in general.
