94 Points

Sunday, May 15, 2011 - A very well balanced, Bordeaux-like, expression of Tempranillo which I had never encountered before. Based on the Parker/Miller scores for Contador, I had assumed I'd be faced with a Tempranillo fruit bomb (which I also enjoy) but it was nothing of the like. Slightly restrained but this is pure class. Can't wait to start opening my 05s. Unique wine for the terroir and as they say, where there's smoke (consistent high scores)... 50+8+8+19+9=94+
