New Wine in from Spain I give it a 92 Abadia-Retuerta Selection Especial Estate Grown Sardon De Duero 2001







This is a nice bottle of wine I pick it up from Joe Cannals in Lawerncevill NJ after not going to NYC due to the rain that was forcaseted. I was Phil and what a nice guy. Ask for him if you stop in. Well we opend up the bottle late in the eav and I just thought lets go for it trying something new. You never know whill this work or not. So I opend up the bottle around 12 mid and smelled the cork, "no cokage" or bad wine smelled good to the nose/ poored up some into a nice crystly glass and it looks nice rich and ruby red with clean legs and the bouquet was nice and then for the tase, Aha you can tell the the wine comes for some dark soil and rich flavor with light frut tase and a nice kiss of the tannens. Wow this just need 1-3 hr to open and my next taste at 12:30 said yes this is a keeper from Spain it nice dry has a hit of the Oak barrel, and just smoth and a 4 demtion type of wine. Great wine for the price. Will by some more tomarw.

The Abadía Retuerta Selección Especial wine comes from a careful selection of the best grapes of all the plots on our estate. Tempranillo’s richness, Merlot’s roundness and Cabernet Sauvignon’s aromatic elegance make it an internationally renowned Great Wine.

This is the wine that best reflects the uniqueness of our terroir and the spirituality of our 12th century Abbey. Aging for eighteen months means that a glass of such a select wine fills our spirits with magic, delicious, evocative dreams.

It was recognized as the World’s Best Red Wine at the International Wine Challenge 2005
