The youngest red I tasted, the 2014 Dominio de Valdelacasa shows abundant notes of sweet spices, with a lactic touch and a sweet twist from ripe fruit. The palate is quite tannic, and my guess is the fruit might dry out before the tannins are polished, so better drink sooner rather than later. 70,000 bottles.

The 2011 Dominio de Valdelacasa is clean and fruit-driven and feels quite young for its age. It has contained ripeness, and feels covered by a thin patina of sweet spicy oak that is nicely integrated. The palate is medium-bodied with some grainy tannins. 100,000 bottles.

The 2010 Dominio de Valdelacasa has aromas of shoe polish and earth, balsamic with hints of peat and ripe black raspberries. The palate is medium-bodied with some grainy tannins, somehow rustic, with character. Enjoy with food. 85,980 bottles.

The 2009 Dominio de Valdelacasa has aromas of peat, fountain pen ink and hints of leather, while the fruit is eminently black. The palate is dominated by the slightly drying tannins and the acidity is moderate, with a slightly bitter aftertaste. Drink now. Importer: Southern Wine Group, Bend, OR; tel.
