Colección 125 Reserva 2004-94 Points, Robert Parker
Fri 8 Jul, 2011
It is made up of 64% Tempranillo, 20% Merlot, and 16% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 14 months in 60% new French oak. It is very expressive (2004 was a great vintage) with a charming perfume of exotic spices, incense, violets, mineral, black cherry, and blackberry. Lush, deep, and lengthy on the palate, it has the structure to evolve for another 4-5 years and will be at its best from 2015 to 2029.
The Chivite Colección 125 reds, it should be pointed out, offer excellent value for their level of quality.
