2006 Finca Villacreses Ribera del Duero

Just want to note that this wine is a hedonistic joy, and it provided several days of drinkability. It's got spicy blackberry and other fruit flavors and aromas, and is just incredibly juicy and smooth. I suppose some might say it's not properly balanced with acid and tannin, but I think there's enough. Maybe this won't last for five years but right now and for a few more it's a real winner. In Spain you can get this for about $25 but can't find it listed anywhere in the US, unfortunately. Maybe some restaurants have it. 92 points.
