Ribera del Duero
Cillar de Silos Joven 2006
I really rate this wine, I think its consistently one of the best joven wines available. There's loads of flavour, savory fruit with good length.
The 2006 growing season was a bit all over the shop, very cold then very hot, not a lot of rain but at the wrong time. Plus the earliest harvest on record. But they've managed to produce something not far off their 05 wine. The 06 is not as pointed and lean as the 05.
Deep red with a purple tint. The nose offers up some powerful aromas of red cherry, mulberry with earth, pepper and sarsaparilla. The secret here is balance, with well complex flavours and lush fruit tannins. Textured and rich. Flavours of perfectly ripe cherry and mulberry with some sars, roast meet and minerals. The finish is long with a mineral tang. Again, this wine sets a very high standard. 90 Pts.

Dave,
Sounds very good.
It was very hard walking past this last week and not buying a few. . .
If you like the style its hard to go past. If only there was no WET on imports…..
