DOMINIO DE PINGUS Ribera del Duero Flor de Pingus 2003
92 points, $50
Lavish oak frames plush, ripe fruit in this modern red. Plum, blackberry, mineral and coffee flavors mingle harmoniously, backed by round, ripe tannins. Perhaps a bit oaky for some, but expressive and seductive. Drink now through 2011. 4,000 cases made. —Thomas Matthews

QUINTA DO VALE MEÃO Douro 2001
93 points, $50
Broad, rich and and deeply flavored red, with loads of mouthfilling dark plum, raspberry, cocoa and Vienna roast flavors. This shows an elegant side as well, which emerges on the long, long finish with mole and spice elements. Drink now through 2008. 4,80 —Kim Marcus

92 points, $75

VIÑA MONTES Folly Santa Cruz 2003
93 points, $82
Dense, large-scale wine, with thick layers of blackberry, boysenberry, mocha and espresso flavors supported by lush, powerful tannins. Big, smoky, tarry finish. The oak is dominant now, but the stuffing is certainly here. One for the cellar. Syrah. Best f —James Molesworth
