VIZCARRA 2004 CELIA RIBERA DEL DUERO

  

Wine Advocate writes..."The 2004 Celia (named after one of the proprietor’s daughters) is a limited production, single vineyard wine (20 cases for the American market) was aged for 18 months in French oak. It is opaque purple-colored with an expressive nose of smoke, scorched earth, blueberry, blackberry, and licorice. This is followed by a silky-textured wine with gobs of sweet fruit and ripe tannnis. This opulent effort has a very long finish of 45+ seconds. Its hedonistic personality will allow it to be enjoyed now but it can also be cellared for 4-6 years and drunk through 2020. Bodegas Vizcarra Ramos was founded in 1991 by “garage” winemaker/viticulturalist Juan Carlos Vizcarra. All of the wines at this estate are 100% Tempranillo. "
