Dominio de Tares, Bierzo (Castilla y León, Spain) “Tares P3” 2003

($78, Classical Wines): The P3, from a single plot of 100-year-old vines, has gorgeous aromas of minerals and black fruit.  Plush and powerful, it’s nonetheless a graceful wine.  The heat of the vintage probably explains a slightly stewed character to the fruit, but it still retains brightness in the finish. 90 Michael Apstein Aug 28, 2007
