Viña Sastre 2006 Pago de Santa Cruz (Ribera del Duero)
A unique style of old-vines, single-vineyard Ribera aged 100% in new American oak, thus it delivers telltale aromas of fennel, dill, vanilla and licorice/anisette. Aged 18 months in barrel so it's oaky, but it's also dark, loaded with black fruit and spice, and chocolaty. Nuances include cola and the perfect raisin. A lovely wine that hits the spot. Best 2012– 2020. Michael Schachner
