Ribera del Duero is the main challenger to Rioja for quality wine production in Spain. Lying within Castile Leon in north west Spain, the appellation spreads across the broad valley either side of the river Duero (the famous Douro of Portugal). It is home to Spain’s “first growth” Vega Sicilia and now many other high quality estates such as Pesquera and Alion.
Tasting notes: "The 2004 Tinto Pesquera, from a great vintage, is opaque purple with a fragrant nose of lead pencil, earth, black currants, and blackberry liqueur that jumps from the glass. This is followed by a sexy wine with layered blue and black fruits intertwined with ripe tannins and good acidity. This superb, beautifully balanced effort should evolve for 4-6 years and drink well for another 10-15."
