Dominio Basconcillos "Vigna Magna" Ribera del Duero 2014
94
Wine Spectator
(10/15/2018) "This modern red shows a broad, plush texture backed by well-integrated tannins and balsamic acidity. Currant and plum pudding flavors mingle with espresso, licorice and mineral notes, which give way to a finish scented with floral and chocolate accents. Drink now through 2028. 300 cases made."

Descendientes des Palacios "Villa de Corullon" Bierzo 2015
94
James Suckling
95
Wine Advocate
(8/31/2017) "Ricardo Pérez Palacios told me his favorite overall vintages for Bierzo are 2001, 2012 and possibly 2015, because he sees them as very complete years, even if 2015 didn't have as perfect conditions as 2001 and 2012; the 2015 Corullón is a perfect example of that, a really pretty wine, open, where I see the similarities with 2012. They use many of the vineyards year after year, all of them around the village of Corullón, all planted with a field blend of varieties, and they have been increasing the percentage of white grapes from those vines that they include in the cuvée. In 2015, it can be almost 9%, mostly Palomino, and they feel it polishes that slight bitterness in the finish of the Mencía, reminiscent of green almonds. Of course, there are also other red grapes, like Alicante Bouschet, Gran Negro, Pan y Carne and Negreda, that might contribute to some 2% of the volume. 19,572 bottles, 720 half bottles, 450 magnums, 45 double magnums and 30 Jeroboams were filled between May 11th and 17th of 2017."

Fuentes del Silencio "Las Jaras'" Castilla y Leon Mencia 2016
91+
Our Score
(12/2018) Ted Vance is the owner of The Source Imports. He perfectly illustrates why their newest Spanish producer is truly something special. "A blend of Prieto Picudo, Mencia and Alicante Bouschet, Las Jaras comes from vineyards located at the south of the Jamuz Valley. The soils are colder in this area with a higher content of iron and clay. The grapes were co-fermented over thirty-five days with native yeasts and 75% of its stems in large vertical French oak fermenters. After pressing, the wine is put back into the same large oak vat for nine months of aging. This is a wine of tension, vertical structure, texture and freshness imparted by its cold soils and the strong diurnal shift between day and nighttime temperatures. Once the cork is pulled the wine's frequency rings at a high tone and finds its footing within fifteen minutes and begins its vertical climb, which carries on with almost more strength into its second day."

Abadia Retuerta "Seleccion Especial" Sardon de Duero 2015
93
Wine Spectator
(12/31/2018) "Rich and dense, this red shows a brooding character, with woodsy and loamy earth notes framing a core of currant and tar. Muscular tannins are well-integrated, and juicy acidity keeps this lively. Harmonious. Tempranillo, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot. Drink now through 2030."

Finca Villacreces Ribera del Duero 2016

Wine Advocate
(12/30/2019) "The 2016 Finca Villacreces was produced to showcase the essence of the estate, mixing grapes from different soils fermented and aged separately and then blended into a combination of 88% Tempranillo, 9% Cabernet Sauvignon and 3% Merlot that fermented in concrete and oak vats and matured in 225- and 500-liter French oak barrels for 15 months. I found ripe black fruit and something earthy/organic reminiscent of peat and coal, plenty of fine-grained tannins and ripe and earthy flavors. Drink Date: 2020 - 2026"

Alfredo Maestro "El Rey del Glam" Tierra de Castillo y Leon Garnacha 2019
91
Our Score
(9/2020) Two high-elevation parcels sourced from Ribera del Duero and Sierra de Gredos provide the grapes for this luscious yet bright Garnacha, which are fermented whole cluster with wild yeasts. After carbonic maceration, the wine is raised for a few months and then bottled without filtration or added SO2, yielding tons of fruit character - strawberry, stewed plum and dried cherry - supported by cracked pepper and dried herbs. Palate-coating but crisp, this medium-bodied wine expresses its youth despite its depth. "El Rey del Glam" traveled across the ocean so that you could open it with a burger and fries, as well you should.

Teso La Monja "Almirez" Toro 2016
94
Jeb Dunnuck
(3/1/2018) "The 2016 Almirez is brilliant! Made from 100% Tinta de Toro that spent 14 months in 30% new French oak, this full-bodied, concentrated 2016 is loaded with notions of blueberries, blackberries, cedar pencil, and cured meats. With terrific depth of fruit, notable purity, and a sexy, seamless style, it's one of those knockout wines that way over-delivers! Maturity: 2018 - 2026."

Vigna Magna "6 Meses" Ribera del Duero 2016
91
Our Score
(4/2019) We are a more-than-solid 91 points on this 100% Tinta del Pais (Tempranillo) from a 125 acre organically farmed vineyard in the northernmost extreme of the region. We were very tempted to award it 92. Six months aging in French oak provides initial aromas of vanilla, oak and spicy cherry. There is an incredible balance of ripe fruit, oak, smoke and spice - and after a few swirls, it gains even more complexity. A wonderfully layered, mouthfilling and enjoyable wine with soft tannins on the finish.

Descendientes de Jose Palacios "Petalos" Bierzo Mencia 2017
93
Wine Advocate
(2/28/2019) "2017 was a very unusual year in Bierzo, and here they started harvesting the 21st of August, when they had never started harvesting in August. There are more white grapes in the 2017 Petalos del Bierzo, almost 10%, not because they wanted to lower the alcohol, because the alcohol was similar to 2016, but because the white grapes achieved perfect ripeness (Ricardo Perez Palacios told me he's never seen such beautiful white grapes). The wine had been bottled the day before I tasted it, so they also showed me a tank and a barrel sample they had saved for the purpose of comparison. However, the bottled wine, the first produced at their new facilities, was really singing and didn't show any fatigue. The palate was vibrant, with acid strawberry flavors. It is very immediate, approachable, round and juicy, perhaps not with the depth and longevity of the 2014 but really pleasant and drinkable. Drink 2019 - 2023."

Isaac Cantalapiedra "Cantayano" Rueda Verdejo 2017
90
Our Score
(2/2020) Harvested from three parcels, this lovely Verdejo is wild yeast fermented then raised on lees for 8 months and bottled without filtration or fining. On the nose, a vibrant mix of tropical and stone fruit reveals surprising depth, supported by a supple texture and hint of fresh herbs. It's ripeness and structure make this a versatile food wine, but it will shine with sheep's cheese or grilled octopus.
