90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2007 Vivir, Vivir is 100% Tempranillo sourced from 20- to 60-year-old vines in La Horra. It was aged for ten months in tank prior to bottling. Dark ruby-colored, it features racy aromatics of mineral, spice box, black cherry and blackberry. Silky on the palate with no hard edges, this tasty wine will provide pleasure over the next three years. These two wines from Bodegas J.C. Conde are sensational values from Ribera del Duero." (02/09) All of the structure and character in this little $11 Ribera del Duero took me completely by surprise. While young or "joven" style Ribera is often times simple and fruity, the "Vivir Vivir" is truly gutsy, flavorful wine. Dark cherries, pickled plums, salted licorice and mineral all combine for a much more intriguing bottle than the measly price tag would suggest. (Joe Mankein, K&L Wine Merchants)
