The controversial 1999 Vina Pedrosa Gran Reserva is dominated by its vanilla/smoky oak characteristics. Additional notes of plums, black currants, fresh mushrooms, and underbrush emerge from this sweet, medium to full-bodied, oaky, but undeniably concentrated and heady Spanish red. If the oak becomes better integrated, this wine will move up in stature. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016+.
