Even better is the outstanding Pomerol-like 2008 Reserva Unica which is made from 97% Tempranillo and 3% Graciano aged nearly two years in a combination of French and American oak. An unfiltered selection of the estate's finest barrels it offers up scents of wet gravel scorched earth sweet black currants plums and hints of mocha and white chocolate. This lush medium to full-bodied layered sexy complex 2008 should drink well for another 4-5 years. -Robert Parker
