The 2004 Vina Pedrosa Reserva exhibits a more expansive, complex aromatic display including floral elements, black cherry, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a firm, full-bodied wine with oak, tannin, and acidity beautifully integrated. The wine has superb depth and concentration as well as layers of spicy black fruit flavors. It will evolve for another 5-7 years and provide pleasure through 2025. As a side note, the 2001 Vina Pedrosa Gran Reserva was austere, ungiving, and needs to be retasted.Importer: Christopher Cannan, Europvin; www.vinapedrosa.com

Briary, minerally and light gamy notes accent the fresh plum fruit in this firm red. It's subtle, even rather austere, but has depth and polish. Drink now through 2014. 5,500 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add
