Cillar de Silos 'Torresilo' 2004 --RP 93 750ml
| "This set of wines (all 100% Tempranillo) from Cillar de Silos located in Ribera del Duero is impressive from top to bottom. The 2004 Torresilos takes it to another level. This 100% Tempranillo is sourced from estate vineyards averaging 60-80 years of age and is barrel fermented and aged for 18 months in 100% new French oak before being bottled unfiltered. Saturated purple in color, it boasts an expressive nose of spice, pepper, smoke, cherry and blackberry. This remarkably concentrated wine has a supple texture, layers of ripe blue and black fruit flavors, terrific focus, and a long, pure finish. There is enough structure to support several years of additional bottle age before drinking it over the following 10 years." 93 points, Jay Miller, Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Feb. 2007. | |
