Señorio de Bocos, Ribera del Duero (Castilla y León, Spain) 2015

 This producer is rather conspicuous in terms of how little of its wine seems to be available for sale around the world, but the best wines are quite good, and the prices seem more than fair.  Perhaps they are selling a lot of bottles directly from the winery, or as custom labels for restaurants or other sellers — your guess is as good as mine.  In any case, this is a very good Reserva from an excellent vintage, one that shows lots of rich, ripe fruit that is beautifully balanced against the wood component and the tannins, which are very nicely wrought.  I’d buy this in a heartbeat for $20, just as I’d buy the “Autor de Bocos” bottling from 2019 for $30.  All factors considered, however, my heart beats faster for the Reserva.
