2016 Finca Villacreces Ribera del Duero Pruno
4/20/2019 - petroj123 Likes this wine: 90 Points
There is written evidence that the first vines were planted on the Villacreces Estate in the 13th Century. During the 14th Century, the vineyard was run by Saint Pedro de Villacreces and later on, became a monastery. In 2003 the Anton family, owners of Rioja Bodega Izadi and one of Spain’s most famous Michelin starred restaurants in the Basque country, purchased the estate and invested in revitalizing both the estate and the vineyards.
The wine looks purple colored. The legs are medium. It smells like blackberry, blueberry and black pepper. The body is light/medium. The wine has smooth texture. The wine finishes short. The wine has low acidity.

Initial burst of vanilla, backed up by citrus, hints of cardamom, minerality. Sweet oak notes, creme brulee, tropical fruit on the finish.

2011 Vinos de Arganza Bierzo Legado de Farro Mencía Roble
9/30/2015 - petroj123 Likes this wine: 89 Points
Oak-dominated berry and cassis aromas are full but not complex or intriguing. This Mencía has a direct palate with needling tannins and a lot of oak resin. Woody, toasty flavors of blackberry and dark plum finish with flavors of mint, mocha, coffee and chocolate. Drink through 2018.
