- ($125; 100% tempranillo) Deep, saturated ruby. Initially mute nose opened to show blackberry, currant, plum, game and expensive French oak (the wine went through its malolactic fermentation in new barrels). Fat, sweet and superconcentrated, with sappy crushed berry flavors and a complicating saline quality. Superripe and impressively dense, in need of a couple years of additional bottle aging. Also tasted: 2002 Rioja. (Fine Estates From Spain Dedham MA)
