Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #134, September/October 2007)
(Pago de los Capellanes Tinto Parcela El Picon Ribera del Duero) ($200) Deep ruby. Brooding cassis, blackberry and espresso on the nose, with suave oak spice and anise adding complexity. Graphite-accented blackcurrant and kirsch flavors offer impressive concentration and noteworthy intensity, with sexy floral pastilles building on the finish. Finishes broad, ripe and deep, with noteworthy persistence and lingering dried dark berry and oak spice character. 91 points |
