 A perfect red wine for Christmas period eating shenanigans. It's a rustic red cherry, hints of strawberry, raspberry and vanilla flavoured compote to tickle the taste buds of festive tinto fanciers.
Immediately one "gets" the 100% tempranillo grapes expressing themselves in a mellow mature style. The year and a half in American oak give it the vanilla bounce; the two years in the bottle round of any edges and soften the tannins so you are left with a glass of very fine Rioja. Time and effort has gone into this bottle so enjoy it!
RRP £12.99 Available from: Majestic, www.yourfavouritewines.com, www.everywine.co.uk and www.rhythmandbooze.co.uk
