Ysios is a ripe, smooth wine with polished aromas of black fruit, charred meat and vanilla. The palate has black cherry, plum, bacon and chocolate flavors, and the finish is smoky. Throughout there’s a nice grilled character to the wine, which isn’t very complicated and isn’t likely to improve much with age. Drink now through 2010.

Ysios is the wavy-roofed, Calatrava-designed winery that graces all those postcards from Rioja. But over the years this Pernod Ricard property has struggled with consistency. Nevertheless, the 2004 is probably the best wine to date from Ysios; it offers creamy but fresh berry aromas backed by cherry, raspberry and plum flavors. With mocha and chocolate on the finish, it has a bit of everything that we’re looking for. Just shy of the 90-point range, but like we said, it’s Ysios’ best wine so far.

For years Ysios has been one of Spain’s most architecturally astounding wineries, but its wines have lagged. This is not a new wine, so it falls into that simple, basic category. It’s aging decently, showing citrus, root beer and tobacco. Good but midland.

Ysios is one of the most visually pleasing wineries you’ll see. It was designed by Santiago Calatrava and it’s the town of Laguardia’s modern stamp. But until now the wines were just average. This one, however, is far better than that, with pure dried cherry and raspberry flavors bolstered by spicy oak, vanilla and perfect acidity. Drink now–2009. Imported by Pernod Ricard, USA.
