2019 Perez Pascuas Vina Pedrosa Gran Reserva

96 POINTS: From yet even older plots than the other Reservas, the 2019 Vina Pedrosa Gran Reserva is aged one year in French oak, followed by one year in American oak, followed by five years in bottle before release. Only 9,000 bottles were made this vintage, one of the rare years in which a Gran Reserva was made. (There will also be a 2020.) It’s notable in its sweet, supple tannins and full-bodied volume and structure. Layers of earthy herbal anise, violet, and raspberry are complemented by toasted oak and a lasting hint of vanilla coconut. Drinking well already, it’s one to cellar for another 20-30 years.
