About this Item

Family Reserve, 2004
2 (1 x 2) 750ml

Critics Ratings

‘The opaque purple-colored 2004 Felix Callejo Family Reserve has a remarkable, nearly exotic, bouquet of wood smoke, toast, tar, leather, violets, wild blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. This leads to a full-bodied, opulent, wine with just beginning complexity, gobs of ripe fruit, silky tannin, and exceptional length. It will improve for at least 5-7 years in the bottle and drink well through 2030.’ – Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, 96/100 (Feb 2008)

‘This assertive red shows a powerful, angular structure, with muscular tannins, dark flavors of licorice, toast, tobacco and mineral and a characteristic gamy note. Takes no prisoners. Best after 2009.’ – Thomas Mattews, Wine Spectator, 93/100 (Nov 2007)
