"The 2005 Malleolus de Sancho Martin is a single vineyard wine encompassing less than 2 acres. Malolactic fermentation occurred in new French oak with lees stirring followed by 22 months in new French barriques. The wine offers a seductive perfume of wood smoke, cedar, saddle leather, spice box, floral notes, blueberry, and blackberry. Round, rich, and full-flavored, on the palate the wine is opulent and multidimensional. Give it 8-10 years of cellaring and drink this super lengthy effort through 2040." -Wine Advocate
"This dense red achieves both concentration and harmony, with intense flavors of blackberry, wild herb, floral, mineral and coffee mingling over ironclad tannins that give way to an alluring, even elegant, finish. Shows great power and great finesse. Best after 2010. 33 cases imported." -96 points Wine Spectator
"Inky violet. Explosively aromatic raspberry and blackberry on the nose, with dark chocolate, anise and smoky minerals adding complexity. Palate-staining dark fruit flavors display almost painful intensity and seem to reach every corner of the mouth. The fruit takes on a liqueur-like quality on the finish, where the repeating dark chocolate and cherry elements refuse to let go. A different animal than the '04, characterized by sheer power rather than the earlier vintage's relative finesse." -93 points- Josh Raynolds- International Wine Cellar
"Malleolus de Sancho Martin" is made with grapes harvested from our Pago de Sancho Martin, located within the district of Pesquera de Duero. It comes from limestone-clay soil which provides coolness for the vine plants during periods of drought. This vineyard covers a surface area of 0.70 hectares (1.72 acres) and is located on a slope on the right bank of the Duero river, giving it a south-facing exposure, 780 meters (2,500 ft) above sea level. The wines produced in this plot are tannic and have a distinctive acidity which makes them ideal for ageing in oak. This estate provides excellent conditions for the grapes to reach full maturity. The vineyard was planted in 1964, with cuttings grafted from the oldest plot of the winery, our Pago de Valderramiro."
"After 30 days of maceration in 3,00 Kg vats, malolactic fermentation takes place in new French oak barrels with stirring of the lees and aged for 22 months in new French oak barrels. A total of 100 cases of 3 bottles were imported for the U.S." -Importer

Discussion On Tonight’s Wine
Adam – would love to hear your tasting notes on the 1998. I have 2001 and 2002 resting in my cellar and look very forward to tasting them.
I have a question for you serious wine people – how long did it take for you to buy a really expensive wine, after you got interested in wines? I cannot imagine paying that kind of money for a bottle of wine, even at these prices. The most I’ve paid for a bottle of wine is 27 US dollars. I mean no offense at all, I’m just curious…and afraid that my wine journey will lead to bankruptcy!
1998 Burgess Enveiere cracked open, and waiting to rise to drinking temperature…
I’m pretty proud of my will-power today. I was able to resist for once! In any case, happy Thanksgiving to all. I’m hoping to see some good tasting notes on CT after today–what better excuse to open some of the bottles you’ve been saving?
Kudos for the great marketing and design of this site. Gary, I imagine you’ll get lots of favorable mentions at the Harvard Business School. You are obviously doing a booming business in the middle of a steep recession. The product has something to do with it: where else can you get luxury for $40 or $50? (Add enough of these, though, and it gets priicey.) But the heart you bring to it is obviously something that can’t be bottled… The demographic seems to include lots of guys. I guess I’d be one if you shipped to Michigan. And the implication is that there are some disgruntled sweethearts. I know my wife prefers white… Anyway, congrats and happy Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving All. I nabed six…thank goodness pumpkin is showing this morning
I want to thank my fellow addicts….I mean members for buying and delivering the great pumpkin. Whew! I came back for more after the shaking started in my sleep….Seriously. Great wine. Glad I have 3 on the way. Congrats to those who bought. Now, let’s get ready for Friday!
PhilCT – the warning went out last night late – only 300 bottles imported total to the US – it didn’t take long at that price – Happy Thanksgiving all!
YAY for the great pumpkin!!! Just saved me 88 bones as I was coming for a second one this morning in my sleep deprived state!!! Wait, BOOO pumpkin, I so wanted 2 bottles!!!
I never had this wine before but looks good so in for 2!!
Thank you!!
Wow! What a great wine. To all my fellow posters, I would gladly accept this as a X-mas gift! LOL
NYPETE, I know what you mean. Me and the fedex guy are best friends now!
Wow… 3 for me, please. Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving, all.
On second thought, where are you going to get that kind of deal on a high end limited Spanish tempranillo – in for a few more for special client holiday gifts?
Hunting season is on in Wisconsin so the “hunters’ widows” parties have started–sounds like someone should hold a “Cindy’s widows” party.
98 points–hard to beat (but bear in mind “reference group”0.
