Viña Pedrosa Reserva 2015

Even if 2015 was a warmer and riper year in general, the Pérez Pascuas family got very low yields, and their 2015 Viña Pedrosa Reserva doesn't show any heat. Perhaps the toasted and smoky tones from the barrels are a little more marked, but the palate shows the balance and restraint that made them famous. The tannins are fine-grained and there is great balance, with that elegant rusticity common throughout their portfolio. 69,980 bottles produced. It was bottled in January 2018.

Only made in the best vintages, such as 2008, 2010 and 2015, the Pedrosa Gran Reserva hails from two parcels - Valtarreña and El Espino - that are both over 60 years' old. Inky, dark and well structured, this is a wine that is built to age for a decade or more. Aged in new French and American oak, it's savoury, dense and just beginning to develop some balsamic undertones to complement the flavours of black fruits and dried herbs. 2025-35
