Severino Sanz, Ribera del Duero (Castilla y León, Spain) 2015

 This wine will likely prove difficult to find, as I could only find one entry for it on the “Pro” version of winesearcher.com, and that was from the winery, but no vintage was indicated, and the winery itself doesn’t seem to be offering it from their website.  However, none of that diminishes how worthy this is of an effort, as it is wonderfully rich without being over-ripe or over extracted, and has already absorbed the oak in which it was matured.  An excellent example of what the warm 2015 vintage could produce for a skilled production team, this is juicy and sexy and delicious, yet not lacking for structure or aging potential.
