2004 Bodegas Portia Prima Ribera del Duero
($40) Ruby-red. Powerful blackberry and plum aromas joined by strong oak tones of vanilla, mocha and clove. Round and sweet, with jammy dark fruit flavors and a strong undertone of vanillin oak. Emphatically modern and approachable now. Fans of oaky wines will score this higher. (Palm Bay International, Boca Raton, FL)
