Ripe years like 2012 can produce mammoth wines in places like Dominio de Valdepusa in Central Spain, and this is indeed a huge black seriously ripe blend of Graciano, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Raisin and prune aromas are in the lead, and there's fiery oak to go with that. Flavors of prune, chocolate and blazing oak match the nose, while this ends with the thud of extremely ripe fruit, tons of oak and soft tannins. Drink through 2021. Michael Schachner

What Is Blind Tasting?

All tastings reported in the Buying Guide are performed blind. Typically, products are tasted in peer-group flights of from 5-8 samples. Reviewers may know general information about a flight to provide context—vintage, variety or appellation—but never the producer or retail price of any given selection. When possible, products considered flawed or uncustomary are retasted.
