Buró de Peñalosa Crianza 2009

The 2009 Buro de Penalosa Crianza comes from 40-year-old vines aged in equal French and American, new and old oak. It has a very attractive bouquet with expressive dark berry fruit mingling with steaming espresso and a touch of leather. The palate is well-balanced with succulent, ripe dark cherry and plum fruit, segueing into a lovely spice and white pepper-tinged finish that is graceful, yet intense. Superb! Drink now-2019. Score - 92. (Neal Martin, erobertparker.com, Feb. 2013)
