Spanish Wines

Two I really enjoy are Emilio Moro's 1999 ($25, WS gave it an 89, FWIW) and Bodegas Valderiz's 1999 ($25, WS 92, again FWIW). The first is drinking nicely right now, but will benefit from some aging. The second is not ready yet -- needs at least 3-5 years. It will be fantastic, I think. Really a powerful wine.

For less expensive, short-term drinkers, go with an Abadia Retuerta Rivola (about $10), or if you like "International-style" wines, try their Selection Especial (about $18).
