There are 2,000 cases of this wine, a soft, sexy, charming, delicious, fruit-driven wine with gobs of fat, glycerin, and appeal. This pure example offers up plenty of black cherry and berry fruit, medium body, excellent balance, and a fleshy, chewy finish. It should drink well for 4-5 years. This wine, which is made from 100% Tinta de Pais and estate-bottled, is an amazing value from this Spanish appellation.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel.

Lush, with vivid ripe cassis and leafy flavor and hints of coffee, all buried under mouthfilling tannins. The elements are strong, but it tastes like a barrel sample. Hard to judge. Best after 1997. 20,000 cases made.??–TM??Region: Spain / Ribera del Duero Select to Add

An impressive wine from Ribera del Duero, the 1996 Marques de Velilla is a blend of 85% Tinta del Pais and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in some new American oak. Produced from the vineyard's youngest vines (approximately 10 years old), it possesses a dark ruby color, as well as copious quantities of black cherry and berry fruit, medium to full body, a soft, charming, seductive texture, and enough spice for complexity. This round, mouthfilling, fleshy, satisfying Spanish red will drink well for 4-5 years.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
