1999 Torresilo, Cillar de Silos, Ribera del Duero, Spain

The 1999 Torresilo from Cillar De Silos is astonishingly youthful, given its 20+ years of age. There is barely a hint of garnet on the rim of this intense wine. The nose is initially full of wild strawberry and red cherry fruit, which develops into darker, earthy bramble aromas alongside a hint of cured meat. This is a wonderfully pure, perfumed red with aromas that burst from the glass, of scented petals and hints of cherry blossom.
