Viña Pedrosa, Gran Reserva, Ribera del Duero, Spain 1999

Made for the 25th anniversary of the family winery.  Midweight, a juicy expression of Tinto Fino with bright redcurrant fruit, dried herbs and a fresh tang of orange. 26 months in new oak, 50% French, 50% American, but the oak is well integrated.
