Robert Parker 95 points 2001 Bodegas J C Conde Neo Ribera Del Duero, Castilla Leon, Spain The 2001 Neo spent 15 months in equal parts new French oak and one-year old American barrels. Its opaque purple color is followed by sensual aromas of espresso roast, white chocolate, creme de cassis, graphite, and tobacco. Dense, full-bodied, and layered, with superb concentration, terrific purity, and a long, opulent finish, it needs 1-2 years of cellaring, and should evolve beautifully for 10-15 years
