00:00And this is one of those wines that ages on the big vats.

00:05Actually, this one is a special reserve.

00:07This is the reserve that we're talking about.

00:10It's right there written on the label.

00:12But also, it's the fifth one on the list.

00:15And this is a six-year-old wine.

00:18It's a mix of different years to get always the same flavor.

00:22And you can see when you smell it and when you taste it,

00:26you can see a lot of fruits, a lot of red fruit flavor.

00:31This one, you can see the difference in color.

00:34And I know that it's hard to believe, but these wines when they get here,

00:37as I told you, they're pretty much the same.

00:40And you can see the difference.

00:42This is what happens to that wine if it got into the vat.

00:46It would take out all of the red color,

00:49and the color would fade onto a more amber-like, light brown.

00:55And the flavors are a lot less flavors of fruit

01:00and a lot more flavors of oak and caramel.

01:04As a matter of fact, if you swallow the cups,

01:06when you smell them, you will see instantly

01:09that the tommy is a little bit more intense than the ruby.

01:13It's more intense in terms of alcohol on the nose.

01:16If you drink it, you will see that it's also a little bit more intense on the throat.

01:21But all of them have the same amount of alcohol.

01:25Don't go around drinking more of the ruby than the tommy,

01:28because all of them have 20% of alcohol.

01:31So even though the tommy smells more and feels that it has a little bit more alcohol,

01:38they both do the same kind of damage,

01:40so they can go down and drink more of one or the other.
