Score 92/100 · Drink 2001-2016, Robert Parker, Aug 2001

The 1999 Abadia Retuerta reveals an opaque purple color as well as a classy, complex bouquet of flowers, black currants, raspberries, cherries, and vanilla. Full-bodied and elegant, yet concentrated as well as powerful, with impressive overall harmony, this nicely-textured, rich 1999 can be drunk now, or cellared for 10-15 years. Kudos to Abadia Retuerta's terrific winemaker, Angel Anocibar. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767

Good full medium ruby. Cabernet-dominated aromas of red- and blackcurrant, tar, herbs and truffle. Richer and smokier than the more bound-up 2000 but much more herbal. This seems distinctly dryer in the mouth and on the finish than the larger-scaled 2000.
