Before we get into the notes on this wine, let’s get something out of the way first: the labeling on the Ultreia branded wines by Raul Pérez is downright confusing. The entry-level is designated “Saint Jacques” (which is a fabulous wine and incredible QPR)…and then comes this plain label “Ultreia” before you step up to the other designations of “Valtuille”, “La Claudina”, etc which are higher-end??. It’s really tough to understand the hierarchy. The good news? It really doesn’t matter when all the wines are really quite stunning. And this bottle is absolutely representative of Señior Pérez's impeccable style.
Popped and poured; consumed over three days. Best on Day 2. On the nose, blue berries, dark cherries, brambles, exotic spices…giving way to spiced lamb after a lot of air, roses, incense, and underbrush. On the palate, red fruit which transitions to more of a darker fruit profile after Day 2, with some mushrooms, deli meat and minerals. Really sound structure. Medium-plus acid, medium plus tannin. The finish is long and satisfying; tongue smacking. Even at $35, this is a killer deal. What a wine. — 3 years ago

Envelhecendo bem...parece um Gevrey jovem, com potência mas sem ser over. 2009 — 4 years ago
Little soil- like funk in the nose. Raspberry,,good tannins and some cigar- box. I just had a nice cab franc and this reminds me of it. — 5 years ago
Exceptional single-vineyard Manzanilla. Bone dry with an agile depth and weight. After 12-14 years in the solera this has a nearly endless finish. Aged manchego, chorizo, Andalusian tripe - versatile and dramatically lovely — 7 years ago
Gordon's Spanish tasting 9/21/16. Floral nose with minerals. Palate balanced and with minerals. Finished long. Bit like northern Rhone syrah. — 8 years ago

Smooth mineral aroma. Acidic salty taste and a full body. Better after opening. — 9 years ago
I love Spanish sherries. AKA amontillado — 10 years ago

The flavor profile is kind of like Cab Franc, with notes of dehydrated strawberry (like Special K red berries), mushroom, and a kiss of oak. Medium bodied. Wonderful acid, and still had some tannins. — 3 years ago
