The 2006 Ines Vizcarra spent 15 months in 500-liter French oak. It offers up a superb aromatic array, of pain grille, pencil lead, espresso, incense, black cherry, and blackberry. Packed and stacked, this dense, masculine wine demands 8-10 years of additional bottle age. There are tons of extract and a boatload of tannin, but it has the balance to age gracefully in the manner of a top-flight Bordeaux. Its prime drinking window will extend from 2016 to 2036.

More muscular and dark than its sibling Celia, with rich, jammy, sweet aromas of mocha and baked berries. It’s an oaky style that works due to the wine’s massive concentration and structure. It flows easily with no coarseness or roughness. Excellent and cut from the modern mold. Drink now–2018. ——M.S.(10/1/2010)—— 93
