The 1999 Rioja Hacienda Pradolagar is a selection of the finest barrels in the cellar. Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by a dense, slightly international bouquet revealing plenty of new oak, loads of black fruits, graphite, espresso roast, and dried herbs. Great fruit on the attack leads to a beautiful mid-palate, medium to full body, and a long, heady finish. Consume it over the next decade. Importer: Ole Imports, New York, NY; tel. (917) 335-7462
