2020 Dominio Basconcillos Vina Magna Reserva Nervi and tangy—just what you wantDeep, concentrated nose with dark berries, pepper spices, violets and chalk on the nose. The profound fruit is rather intact and detached from the classy oak spices, showing a pinch of licorice. Full bodied, flavorful and very fine grained on the palate with masses of powdery tannins and a lengthy finish that lasts almost a minute. Drinkable now, but better after another two years. 94 Pts James Suckling
