Yllera 2004 Dominus Gran Selección Viñedos Viejos Red (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Price $50

A genuinely attractive, well-made old vines red with earthy, minerally aromas along with violet petal and blackberry. The palate has a fine feel to it, depth and complexity, while flavors of dry berry and baking spices work wonders. Dry, pure and long on the finish, and really quite excellent for a vino de tierra. Drink now through 2014. — M.S. (6/1/2010)

Yllera 1999 Oak Selection Tempranillo (Vino de Mesa de Castilla y León)

Best Buy

Price $9

Here's a solid—if somewhat generic—red with a touch of vanilla oak. Red raspberries, earth and black tea shadings make for a satisfying drink. Don't be scared away by the "oak selection" monikeróthis blend of 90% Tempranilllo and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon spends only four months in wood. — J.C. (11/1/2001)

Yllera 2002 Vendimia Seleccionada 24 Meses en Barrica Tempranillo (Vino de la Tierra de Castilla y León)

Online Exclusive

Price $27

For an old wine from a weak vintage, this has its positives. For starters, the nose offers a nice mix of dried fruit, tobacco, cedar and fig paste, while the palate is properly acidic and tastes of red plum, raspberry and oak-driven vanilla. At its drinking peak now; with preserved juiciness and lots of kick. — M.S. (6/1/2010)

Yllera 1986 Black Label Red (Vino da Mesa de Toledo)

Price $28

Aromas of dried spices and vanilla dominate, but the cherry fruit still tastes fresh and alive thanks to firm acidity. Turns tart on the finish, where its age becomes more obvious in the thinning flavors. — J.C. (11/1/2001)

Yllera 1995 Red Label (Vino de Mesa de Castilla y León)

Price $23

Tastes fresh for a six-year-old wine, with crisp red-raspberry and cherry flavors accented by vanilla. On the light side, but streamlined and elegant; probably better with food. — J.C. (11/1/2001)
