The 2004 Alidis Gran Reserva was sourced from 65+-year-old vines and spent 30 months in French oak casks. It surrenders a captivating nose of scorched earth espresso lavender incense and assorted black fruits. Velvety-textured plush and full-flavored this buxom effort has the structure and balance to evolve for 3-4 years and will offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2029. </br>Bodega Vina Mambrilla is a small family-owned estate in Ribera del Duero. Their new releases all produced from Tempranillo are uniformly excellent.-Jay Miller
