The wine
Dominio del Águila Reserva is an extraordinary wine. Within a very short space of time, it has been catapulted to the podium of great Spanish red wines, and its prominence has remained and been confirmed in successive vintages. Easily recognisable is its Ribera character but with less opulence than usual and greater elegance. Fragrant and mysterious on the nose, vigorous and with substantial balance on the palate. If a comparison had to be made with another wine, it would be a Vega Sicilia, precisely because of its individual, unique character.
What does this wine taste like?
An aromatic, expressive and floral wine, it adds subtlety and freshness to the typical character of Ribera del Duero wines it confidently displays. Its elegant and lively style has won over international critics and placed it among the very best Spanish red wines. It undoubtedly deserves this reputation thanks to the energy, emotions and balance enjoyed with every sip.
