Jay Miller, Mitarbeiter von Robert Parkers »
The Wine Advocate« befasst sich regelmäßig mit dem Thema Wein aus Spanien und Portugal. In der Ausgabe vom Februar 2007 hat er dort den ›
Dominio de Valdepusa Syrah 2003‹ von
Pagos de Familia aus
D.O. Dominio de Valdepusa mit 88/100 Punkten bewertet. Nachfolgend der Text im Original:
„The 2003 Syrah is reserved aromatically, while exhibiting lots of smoky black fruits. Currently the tannins are hard which shortens the finish. If this wine comes together over the next two to four years, my score will look conservative.
Dominio de Valdepusa, loacted near Toledo, was the first winery to be awarded its own D.O. Under the Marqués de Griñón label, the winery produces Cabernet Sauvignon,
Petit Verdot and
Syrah. The 2002s were pleasant but the 2003s are clearly superior. All the wines see 12 months in French oak.”
