Score 88+/100 · Josh Raynolds, Sep 2007

(50% tempranillo, plus cabernet sauvignon, merlot, garnacha and syrah) Opaque purple. Ripe cherry and plum aromas complicated by exotic baking spices. Silky in texture and impressively deep, with a powerful bitter cherry and dark chocolate character. A serious style that will benefit from aeration.

Score 91/100 · Drink 2007-2015, Jay S Miller, Wine Advocate, Feb 2007

The 2005 El Vilosell is composed of 50% Tempranillo, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 9% Garnacha, and 5% Syrah aged for 9 months in new French oak. Purple-colored, it reveals a fragrant array of scents including pepper, spice box, smoke, blackberry, black currant, and blueberry pie. Plush in texture, the wine is full-bodied, with layers of spicy fruit, intense flavors, and well-concealed tannins. Drink this superb value now and over the next 6-8 years. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Cellars, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
