Benjamín Romeo La Cueva del Contador - 2004 (750ml) 1990 The palate is elegant andThe 2004 La Cueva del Contador is purple colored with a splendid nose of espresso roast, scorched earth, black currants, blueberry and chocolate. On the palate the wine is supple and somehow manages to be elegant despite its layers of red and black fruits and extract. Rich and amazingly long, this wine will evolve for a decade and drink well for another 35 40 years. Wine Advocate 97 points
