Score 93/100 · Drink 2000-2015, Robert Parker, Feb 2000
This project, from a large estate in Ribera del Duero, has the gifted Danish winemaker, Peter Sisseck (of Pingus fame), as the winemaker. Produced from extremely low yields (15-20 hectoliters per hectare), this offering is a blend of Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. This wine is a sexy, exotic wine that could be called Spanish Pomerol. The 1995 Reserva Especial (125 cases produced) reveals extract and body, as well as a viscous, unctuously-textured finish. Flavors of chocolate, blackberries, and cherries are also present. The Reserva should drink well for 10-15 years. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, New York, NY; tel. (212) 924-4949
