The flagship 2001 Prestigio Pago de las Solanas is the product of a single vineyard planted in 1958 and was aged for 21 months in new French oak. Dried fruits, tar, tapenade, incense, a hint of balsamic, and a confiture of blackberries compose the nose of this still evolving, layered, beautifully proportioned Ribera del Duero. It demonstrates what happens when there is a confluence of great vintage, old vines, and a proven terroir. Importer: Matarromera USA, Hoboken, NJ; Tel.
