El Albar Barricas 2005 Rueda and Castilla y Leon - SPAIN

UPC/EIN Code : 6 35335 60611 7

This beautiful deep purplish red wine has an expressive nose with red fruits freshly associated with a touch of spicy flavors. The mouth is smooth with a beautiful tannic structure, silky and coated tannins. This wine pairs well with meats grilled with herbs, lamb roast, Indian dishes, or paella.

(Check to print this review) 90+ Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2008 "The 2005 Barricas is similarly styled but a bit more backward and tightly wound than the 2004. It would profit from 5-7 years in the cellar and will provide pleasure through 2025."

(Check to print this review) 91 points Wine Enthusiast, Web Only, 2010 "Meaty, cuddly and kind is the best way to describe this big-boned, ultra ripe Toro. What makes it great is the price ($20 is a steal for this) and the complete lack of fierceness. It's easygoing but complex, with pulsing blackberry, plum and chocolate flavors. With modest but measurable tannins, it should age nicely for at least five years and maybe more, making." it is a bargain hunter's dream."
