A very limited production Ribera del Duero of 6,990 bottles in a great year @ €180-€265 that should age into a Vega Sicilia quality wine as a very intense big wine 😈 but well balanced 😉 I’d drink in 10-15 years but superb already 😁

📍 Viña Pedrosa Perez Pascuas Gran Selección 2010

🍝 Paired w/ Mrs Es homemade Cumberland peppered & sage pork sausage meat filled ravioli smothered in a chasseur mushroom sauce & Parmesan cheese 😍

🏵 96 points w/ 98+ potential

🍇 Tempranillo

💥 14.5% ABV

🍷 Deep blackened opaque ruby

👃 I had to peel these aromas from my nose as they overpowered it in chocolatey rich dark fruit goo in a porty style of spiced dark cherry, earthy dark plum, melted chocolate, herbs & smoke w/ raspberry liquorice, minerals, date compote, prune pie & soft oak

👄 Full bodied rich ripe smooth ultra silky gooey creamy melted black cherry & chocolate w/ raspberry, liquorice & cherry liqueur

🎯 Long Long Long (like never ending!) lingering dark cherry explosive punch in the teeth oozing through raspberry chocolate liquorice gloop

Lovely wine shared by close friends for Christmas dinner. Perhaps it could have used a few more years, as the nose was not as expressive as hoped. Possibly eclipsed by the Vega Sicilia Valbuena '95 that preceded? Very good but missing some flourish — 11 years ago

Could have passed as a Bordeaux it was so good, but s wonderful red from my favorite region in Spain. Lively fruit, silky tannins and 100% tempranillo from a former Vega Sicilia winemaker. — 11 years ago

After an orgasmic Vega Sicilia, an out-of-this-world "Y" from Yquem, one could not expect anything better. Well, this 1969 Port did the trick. A multi orgasmic day, indeed! — 13 years ago

Red fruit has never been as regal. The visual experience is bathed in red elegance. A hint of licorice in the nose, followed by an explosion of berries all over the place, and then the most beautiful silk as it fades into a long, subtle farewell. A beautiful surprise every time. — 8 years ago

Vega Sicilia. Honey, nectarine, poached pears, golden raisins, peach, ginger, supple sugars--fleshy. — 9 years ago

That's pretty fantastic. If you want an expensive, big spanish wine that doesn't say 'vega-sicilia' on the front this is a solid choice. — 10 years ago

Tenpranillo 90%, Syrah 10% y 16 meses de barrica. Otro gran vino fuera de las D.O. 30 años en Vega Sicilia de Mariano García es más que garantía. R. Parker 92.

Since the 2007 vintage, this has been my informal "house red" (informal, because it's not going to be a perfect paring with everything). The 2012 (I have one bottle left) is concentrated, black fruit and minerality, and wonderfully aromatic. This is organically-farmed tannat, cabernet franc, merlot, and Monsieur Bozzi has a few rows of syrah planted as well. The small winery receives its barrels (one-used) from Vega Sicilia in Spain through the consulting oenologist, Stéphane Beuret. — 11 years ago

With the exception of Vega Sicilia, I am just not into older #Riberadelduero I feel like they don’t age well, there’s so much maturity and they all seem to express dark, concentrated, rust, soy and molasses flavors. This was delicious, but I would say one year more and it would be past it’s prime. — 8 years ago

Vega Sicilia silk in Napa's best black fruit tradition. Then comes the tobacco, and the subtle tannins, and a touch of licorice, and you end up with a superb wine. — 10 years ago
