1989 Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Único Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo

Decanted 5 hours. Brooding black-purple semi translucent colour with heavy legs on the side of the glass. Nose is deep-ground black slab of 'light absorption' like in 2001 Space Odyssey....still so closed but brilliantly linear. It might open a crevice more in the next 20 years. Palate is OMG beautiful.....enormous depth of fully mature plums red and black. Black coal. Still closed and young despite the advanced nature of the initial fruit. Wonderful resonant and reverberative length that goes on for minutes. Hard to guage....I would say it's 20 years off its potential best. Thrilling.....the first from a case Greg and I bought together a couple of years ago from the winery.

3/25/14, 7:50 AM - Maybe its bottle variation,but I had three bottles!Unbalanced,too much extraction,lacks typicity,really not my thing.The last bottle I had it next to a Brancaia Chianti Classico that literally blew la difese away.On the next day it was a little better,but the finish was way too bitter.
Comparison is a b...
On my opinion,there are better deals out there...Cheers!

2006 Prats and Symington Douro Chryseia Red Blend

On the nose red and black berry and cherry that is quite jammy, biscuit and white pepper and tiny amounts of leather. In the mouth it has dark fruit, medium plus tannin and is slightly bitter on the finish. Hmm

2007 Podere Forte Guardiavigna Toscana IGT Red Bordeaux Blend

A great expression of Sangiovese. Classic crimson coloring with a transparent edge. Nose is of round sweet fruit with cherries, plumbs and Tuscan minerality being the most pronounced. Palate is presently sweet with a very round and velvety finish. 5+13+17+8=93
