Dominio Dostares 2005 Leione Prieto Picudo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Price $47

The glaring difference between this wine and the winery’s lesser bottling, Estay, is the oak. This is much more woody, with intense aromas of asphalt, shoe polish and char. The palate is lively but fairly smooth, with blackberry, leather and fine savory notes. For Prieto Picudo, it’s classy and elevated, and quite intense. — M.S. (6/1/2008)

Dominio Dostares 2008 Estay Prieto Picudo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Price $15

Smoky, dark, bold and full of black fruit aromas along with barrel notes and a lemony accent. For Prieto Picudo, this is clean, decidedly not funky and lush, with blackberry, spice and barrel resin. Finishes bacony and rich, but not fat or heavy; drink this year and next. — M.S. (7/1/2011)

Dominio Dostares 2005 Estay Prieto Picudo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Price $15

This wine is a varietal bottling of the native Prieto Picudo. And you know what? It’s plenty good and very nicely balanced. Early aromas of coffee, subtle curry and tobacco let you know you’re not dealing with something generic. And the forward black-fruit palate has grip, good tannins, chocolaty nuances and persistence. Estay is definitely worth a go if you’re… — M.S. (6/1/2008)

Dominio Dostares 2006 Cumal Prieto Picudo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Price $43

Compact and condensed, with aromatic subtlety that suggests maturity. The palate is still fairly juicy and tight, with core intensity and surrounding flavors of black plum, berry and spice. Complex and tasty, but probably at its peak level; drink now. — M.S. (7/1/2011)

Dominio Dostares 2010 Tombú Prieto Picudo Rosé (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Online Exclusive

Sweet smelling, like a cherry flavored Jolly Rancher candy. The palate is choppy yet low in acidity, with a mix of cherry, chemical and bitter flavors. Sweet and sticky on the finish, and cloying in general. — M.S. (7/1/2011)

points

Dominio Dostares 2006 Estay Prieto Picudo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Online Exclusive

Price $17

Pruney and gaseous on the nose, with murky, stewy qualities that don’t convey freshness or vitality. The palate has a raisiny, no-life feel and thick, dull flavors of prune, raisin and fig. Past its prime; opt for the younger 2008. — M.S. (7/1/2011)
