Fantastic Rioja. Had this with a mixed paella and it was just perfect. Dense dark berries, great oak, a nice smoky/leathery tang, good acidity and smooth tannins with some bite left. A great food wine. Will buy more to cellar for a few years.

Personally, I don't find a huge difference from the Reserva (on a good vintage year). I love the classic Rioja qualities of Montecillo...Spiced cherries, barn yard, herbs, cedar and smoke.
