Paramo de Corcos 2004 Reserva Tempranillo (Ribera del Duero)
- $41
A very nice wine from a solid producer. The nose displays blackberry, coffee, earth and vanilla aromas, while the palate is pure, respectably tannic and starts with a short but pointed blast of black fruit followed by mocha and vanilla. Makes it to the upper echelon of Ribera wines; drink now through 2012.

Paramo de Corcos 2004 Crianza Red (Ribera del Duero)
- $23
Dark, rubbery and slightly herbal, with animal hide aromas yielding to cleaner, darker fruit scents as it opens. Clean feeling on the palate, with cassis, raspberry and cherry flavors. On the finish, it darkens up with toasted oak, chocolate and coffee. Solid Ribera del Duero; drink over the next 12 months.

Paramo de Corcos 2007 Abuela Cleofé Red (Ribera del Duero)
- $50
Dark and very toasty, with espresso, bacon and roasted black fruit aromas. Tight and drying in the mouth, with biting tannins, a lot of oak and finally mildly herbal flavors of blackberry and burnt toast. Hard and dark, but big and boisterous, with a blatant barrel influence.

Paramo de Corcos 2004 Red (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $14
A nice wine with almost everything in the right place. It starts with medium-intensity black cherry and plum aromas, with a hint of pickle and leather in the background. The palate is lively and full of brimming cherry and raspberry flavors, while the finish is stout and tannic, with vanilla and cream to warm things up. Packed and serious for a $14 wine.

Paramo de Corcos 2001 Reserva Red (Ribera del Duero)
- Online Exclusive
- $41
Spearmint, bramble and tomato aromas give this wine a mature bouquet. The palate is wide and shows standard leather, berry and tobacco flavors. But it’s also a bit tannic, with chocolate, coffee and a grabby feel working the finish. Pleasant and good as a whole, but by no means an overachiever.

Paramo de Corcos 2007 Red (Ribera del Duero)
- $13
Dark in color but a bit hot and clunky on the nose, where oak-based vanilla helps mask its true identity, which is choppy and tart. In between the wine’s tang and zest, there’s moderate sweetness, vanilla and mild wood notes stemming from the five months it spent in barrel.
