BN#200941 |
Founded in 2001 by successful publisher Alfonso de Salas, Marqués de Montecastro y Llanahermosa. Tempranillo vineyards from 8 to 100 years old have been sourced in five distinct soil types and at elevations between 2150 and 3500 feet. Winemaking focus is upon fruit retention and rich, soft tannins, resulting in sophisticated wines that are fully complex in youth yet long-lived.
Wine Advocate
The fabulous 2004 raises the bar even higher than the 2003. The perfume is even more expressive, the palate broader, richer, and more concentrtated, and the finish goes on for over one minute. It should be cellared for 4-6 years and should drink well through 2032. There is more good news; a barrel sample of the 2005 seems every bit as good as the 2004. Montecastro is a new estate in Ribera del Duero founded in 2001. The owners have gone to great lengths to do everything right and it shows in the wine.
Score: 94.
