The 1999 Las Gravas is not very massive, but it is well-balanced. The tannin is sweet, and the wine reveals little volume, but beautiful harmony as well as gorgeous notes of blackberries, cherries, underbrush, sweet oak, minerals, and earth. Luxuriously rich and supple-textured, it is best consumed over the next 12-15 years. For the quality, it is a super value. This is an exceptional value.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767

This firm, refreshing red shows cherry, licorice and light herbal flavors, balanced and clean. Bright acidity gives it focus. Drink now through 2004. 700 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Jumilla Select to Add

This easy drinker has a round feel, but enough acidity to support the sweet dark-cherry flavors and appealing clove-cocoa accents. It’s smooth, goes down easy, and closes with good length, displaying a slight mineral, almost quinine-like note on the finish. Not complex, but offers a lot of flavorful character. —M.M.——M.M.(4/1/2002)—— 85
