The 2004 Bracamonte Reserva comes from a great vintage in Ribera del Duero. Still dense purple in color, it offers up an aromatic array of sandalwood, exotic spices, incense, assorted black fruits, and a hint of balsamic. Ripe, rich, and plush on the palate, this layered, beautifully proportioned offering is likely to evolve for another 2-3 years and deliver a drinking window extending 2013 to 2024. Grupo Yllera owns 240 acres of vineyards and controls another 660 in Rueda, Ribera del Duero, and Toro making both estate and negociant wines. It is a well established brand in Spain and is now moving to get a foothold in the USA market as domestic sales take a hit from declining demand. The Yllera label includes wines blended from Tempranillo vineyards in Toro and Ribera del Duero, hence the more generic DO of Vino de la Tierra Castilla y Leon.
