"Sexy aromas of dark berries, cocoa powder, licorice and roasted oak. Dense, thick and sweet, with enticing, chewy dark berry and oak flavors. Finishes with big, lush tannins, excellent thrust and a suggestion of roasted fruits. Undeniably denser than the regular 2000 release. . ."

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.
