94WS
"Compared with the '94 Crianza, the Reserva is just as rich but even better balanced, with richer fruit flavors that are expressive and powerful yet harmonious on the palate. Shows plenty of chocolate and toasty oak flavors, and the full-bodied tannins are ripe and well integrated. A blockbuster, yet still a beauty. [Pesquera vertical]"

Spain has the largest area under vine of any country and a deep tradition of oak-aged reds. Tempranillo-based wines from Rioja and Ribera del Duero, alongside Priorat's Garnacha and Carinena, anchor its fine-wine reputation.
On Spain's high central plateau, Ribera del Duero makes powerful, concentrated Tempranillo (locally Tinto Fino). Wide day-night temperature swings yield deeply colored, structured and age-worthy reds.
Produces powerful, deeply colored Tempranillo from Spain's high plateau, prized for concentration and structure.
