"The 2006 Rioja “Vendimia Seleccionada” from Señorío de P. de Peciña is excellent, with depth and complexity on both the nose and palate and great structure for long-term and stellar evolution in the bottle. The bouquet is pure, refined and a tad younger in its evolution than the 2007 Reserva, wafting from the glass in a blend of black cherries, red plums, cigar ash, excellent soil tones, cloves, a bit of bonfire, toasted coconut and just a whisper of cedar. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and still quite youthful at age nine, with a lovely core of fruit, great soil signature, moderate tannins and excellent complexity and grip on the very long, pure and classic finish. I would tuck this away for at least another three or four years before starting to drink it in earnest, for though it is quite approachable already, it is still very clearly climbing and its true apogee is many years in the future. Great juice!"

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.
Spain's noble red grape, producing structured, savory wines of red fruit and leather that respond beautifully to oak aging in Rioja and Ribera del Duero.
