Viña Sastre 1999 Pago de Santa Cruz Gran Reserva (Ribera del Duero)
Cellar Selection
A classic wine with maturity but still a lot to give. Aged 24 months in American oak then 12 more months in French barrels, this GR is leathery and powerful, with firm tannins supporting dry berry fruit flavors accented by copious amounts of tobacco, mint, vanilla and more. Will continue to age and soften; drink now through 2025. Michael Schachner
