Even finer and more nuanced than their Viña Pedrosa, the 2012 Pérez Pascuas Gran Selección Gran Reserva is a monumental, classical Ribera del Duero, still young and lively, a little closed on the nose but showing magnificent harmony on the palate, with super refined tannins. It's gobsmacking. It's pure Tinto Fino from an 83-year-old vineyard that yielded 18 hectoliters per hectare, yet the wine is not too concentrated or tannic and was polished by 26 months in French oak barrels. 6,270 bottles were filled in March 2015. You can drink it now or forget it in your cellar for a decade.
