Saturday, April 27, 2019 - Winebar [2 Rosés, 2 Whts, & 8 Reds] from 04/26/19 + 3 Shared Bottles (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Dr. Tom, THANK you for sharing this WONDERFUL bottle from a producer I'D only known for their < expensive bottlings. :)

From a single vyd plot of Tempranillo, planted in deep gravel soils intermixed with sand at the surface, just outside the border of the Ribera del Duero region in Spain’s north central province of Castilla y León; Typically aged 24 mos in new FR oak barrels;

N: FRAGRANTLY *ripe* berries, menthol, toasty oak, & earth -- in no particular order

P: LM body; LOVELY, ALMOST swtish frt with tinges of blk olives firmed by acidity which fairly seamlessly morphs into a LONG finish with a tangy/swtness to the few remaining very, VERY fine tannins. Drinking perfectly right now, & should hold through '22. 13% ABV; My EXC/EXC+. 93 pts Vinous (Tanzer), 90 WE @ $140, 88 WS, and 88 & 93 RJonWine. [As of early May '19, wine-searcher still shows 1 source @ $95].
