    (LAFLEUR) Pesquera Dear Friends, For the weekend send-off, we have a wine that's a return to sanity - it remains at the lowest end of the Spanish pricing spectrum despite year after year of exemplary, traditional expression and competition with upstarts at 2-3 times the price. Pesquera is what it is - classic. This is a wine that has nothing to prove, it essentially competes with itself and that's just fine for Alejandro Fernandez. The magic of this wine comes with time - cellar a few bottles of this Spanish stalwart and you will be rewarded (I am reminded of the Per Se holiday event a few years ago where a blind bottle of 1982 Pesquera Janus was called as the 1982 Lafleur by one of the most knowledgeable Bordeaux palates in the country...amazing and so was the wine - see below for more Lafleur): HIGHLY RECOMMENDED as an example that will continue to evolve with some of the more sensible pricing in Spain We have a terrific price on this wine, about the same as US wholesale: 2005 Pesquera Ribera del Duero Crianza (Tinto) While completely unrelated, the 1982 Janus made me think of this pristine set of magnums.... 1995 Chateau Lafleur 1.5lt (Pomerol) Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Spain7764 Bord8794
