This set of wines (all 100% Tempranillo) from Cillar de Silos located in Ribera del Duero is impressive from top to bottom. The 2005 El Quintanal comes from younger vines and is aged 4 months in used French oak. It has a notably deep purple color, a fruity nose of spice, plums, and blueberry, and layers of flavor in its full-bodied personality. Drink this satisfying bargain over the next 1-2 years.
