Score 91/100 · Drink 2003-2013, Robert Parker, Feb 2003

El Pison is a 100% Tempranillo cuvee produced from a single vineyard planted in 1945. The soil is pure limestone, yields are a lowly 18-22 hectoliters per hectare, and the wine is aged for 18-24 months in French oak. The 1999 El Pison reveals Burgundy-like aromas, intense flavors, a surreal lightness, and considerable finesse. It should drink well for a decade. Importer: Eric Solomon, European Selections, Charlotte, NC; tel. (704) 358-1565
