Dominio del Águila Reserva 2020 is a full-bodied red wine produced in the Ribera del Duero appellation of Spain. Winemaker Jorge Monzón, whose CV includes time at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti, has quickly established a reputation for producing some of the finest terroir wines in his appellation. His riserva tinto is a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Bobal and the local white variety Albillo. "The nose of the 2020 Reserva is beautiful, perfumed and floral, showy and expressive, really open. The palate is medium to full-bodied, with fine-boned and very fine and chalky tannins. It has 14% alcohol, not a shy red, with power and concentration, freshness and terrific balance. It has a long finish with a touch of liquorice and violets. It has to be among the best vintages for Reserva. 2020 was a very good year for Dominio del Águila. It matured in French oak barrels for 33 months." Luis Gutiérrez, 2023
