Pago de los Capellanes 2004 Parcela El Nogal Red (Ribera del Duero)

Price $80

After finding little to like about the blatantly overripe 2003 El Nogal, the ’04 is a wonderful surprise. Yes, it’s still a ripe, chewy specimen with aromas of prune, smoke, spice cake and leather. But in the mouth it delivers weighty plum, raspberry and cassis but also a delicate wrapping of chocolate and coconut. A lot to ponder, and better sooner than later… — M.S. (11/15/2008)

Pago de los Capellanes 2006 Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)

Price $54

Sensational RdD Reserva with dry, smoky, elegant aromas and then a super-juicy, fresh, finely etched palate with composed cola, cherry, raspberry and more. This wine exhibits merit after merit; it’s complex yet easy to like. Really excellent for the money. Drink 2011–2018. — M.S. (10/1/2010)

Pago de los Capellanes 2004 Reserva Red (Ribera del Duero)

Editors' Choice

Price $53

Capellanes waded through some weak efforts in 2002 and 2003, but this vintage marks undisputed excellence for a reserva. The wine has alluring smoky, sultry notes to match its bold fruit, while the flavors of blackberry, dark spice and chocolate announce perfect raw material and a deft winemaking hand, i.e. controlled oak. Delicious now through 2014. — M.S. (11/15/2008)

Pago de los Capellanes 2004 El Picón Red (Ribera del Duero)

Cellar Selection

Price $240

Bright, snappy and somewhat high in acidity, but also vibrant and excellent as a whole. The fruit falls squarely into the plum, raspberry and red currant spectrum, while that acidity pushes the wine to run and run. A dynamo with length, character, structure and angularity. Probably not for those who prefer dark, lush RDDs. Drinkable now but could still use another… — M.S. (10/1/2010)

Pago de los Capellanes 2005 Parcela El Nogal Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)

Price $80

A super-classy wine with intensity to spare. The nose and palate are both high-toned and piercing, and red fruit aromas and flavors are supreme. Along with the currant and raspberry character, there’s mild medicinal flavors, cherry cough drop and lots of length and power. Impressive for sure. Drink 2012–2020. — M.S. (10/1/2010)

Pago de los Capellanes 1998 Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)

Editors' Choice

Price $22

The dark purple color combined with deep, smoky bacon and plum aromas make this enticing from the start. The palate follows the lead laid out by the nose, as it offers mostly rich plum fruit and toasty supporting oak. This is friendly, chewy and big—but not so big as to require extensive aging. — M.S.

Pago de los Capellanes 2001 Jovan Roble Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)

Pago de los Capellanes 2004 Tinto Crianza Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)

Price $34

A mile deep on the nose. The palate starts out grapy and jammy and then develops to show herb-infused plum and berry flavors. The finish of chocolate and black truffle ensures that this is a top-level wine. Drink now through 2014. — M.S. (11/1/2007)
