Los Dominios de Berceo Tempranillo Rioja 2011: Tight, amazingly fresh, big boy Spanish red; concentrated raspberry, cherry, blackberry, chip of chocolate, spices galore; medium body, acidity, puckering tannin quickly relaxes with air leaving velvety mouth. Sophisticated rioja offerings like this are not like other wines, uniquely delicious and distinctive; this comes from 140-year-old, ungrafted vines (vines not affect by phylloxera plague of late 19th century in Europe). When you taste this, you taste history. $52
