The 2008 El Albar Barricas, made predominantly from Tinta de Toro, spent 12 months in oak. Spice box, leather, violets, and assorted black fruits inform the nose of this fruity, forward, well- balanced, lengthy red. Drink it over the next 5-7 years. Bodega Francois Lurton’s newest releases are uniformly excellent.Importer: Adam Sager, Winesellers Ltd., Skokie, IL; Tel. (847) 679-0121

The 2005 Barricas is similarly styled but a bit more backward and tightly wound than the 2004. It would profit from 5-7 years in the cellar and will provide pleasure through 2025. Importer: Winesellers Ltd., Skokie, IL; tel. (847) 679-0121

The 2004 Barricas was aged for 12 months in 33% new French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it delivers a nose of cedar, leather, earth, and blackberry. This leads to a ripe, firmly structured wine with ample spicy black fruit flavors, a chewy texture, and 3-5 years of aging potential. It should drink well through 2020.
