The 2009 Casajus Vendimia Seleccionada underwent 40% of malolactic in cask, the remainder in stainless steel, then matured a la 2010 in Allier barrels. Typically it is more opulent than the 2010 with lifted fresh strawberry and raspberry fruit, although I prefer the minerality exuded by the succeeding vintage. The palate is medium-bodied with tensile tannins, a real edginess from start to finish, with an exhilarating symmetrical finish that actually has a striking semblance to the 2010. Outstanding. Drink now-2019. I was unfamiliar with the wines of Bodegas Calvo Casajus prior to my tasting them in Ribera del Duero – but what a superb set of wines! Here there was plenty of nuance, balance and expression of terroir that set them apart from their peers as they, often imbued with a Burgundy-like cashmere texture and startling purity. Plus they are, for the most part, very reasonably priced. Jose Alberto Calvo Casajus himself was a member of the local co-operative until 1993 as well as serving the vital role as the village baker in Quintana del Pidio. Is there no end to this man’s talents? Importer: Majuelas de Espana – “Casajus Antiguos Vinedos”, “Vendimia Seleccionada” and “Splendore” distributed by Frontier Wine Imports, Dover, NJ; tel.
