"Incredibly sweet aromas of boysenberry, steak tartare and exotic oak. Creamy, thick and primal, with a sauvage animal note adding to its essence of dark berry complexity. Totally unevolved, especially next to the regular '94 Pesquera, which is starting to express itself. The nearly painful finish features huge but even tannins and powerful thrust, along with finishing notes of smoke and espresso. Wow! This is cheap (and the Tinto Pesquera is even better value) when you consider today's Bordeaux prices."

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.
