2010 Bodegas Borsao Garnacha Campo de Borja Gran Tesoro
Spain, Aragón, Campo de Borja
Inky purple. Soft, brambly nose - even a little barnyard-y. Bundles of soft red fruit on the palate but just a touch sweet on the finish. Decent at under £5 though.

2009 Celler el Masroig Montsant Solà Fred
Spain, Catalunya, Tarragona, Montsant
Dirty, animal-y nose - but in a good way! Crunchy dark fruit palate. OK.

Bursting with red fruit flavours and well integrated tannins. Excellent.

2006 Cellers de Scala Dei Priorat Cartoixa
Spain, Catalunya, Priorat
I was late to this and literally left with the dregs - got a mouthful of sediment for my troubles. Exceptionally long finish but hard to judge otherwise as there was barely any liquid left to taste. I suspect it's very good though.

2007 Sao del Coster Priorat Terram
Spain, Catalunya, Priorat
Inky dark. Savoury, meaty nose. Packed with flavour but medium-bodied. Some mid-palate sweetness but finishes dry. Very long. Excellent.

2009 Adegas Moure Ribeira Sacra Abadía da Cova Barrica
Spain, Galicia, Ribeira Sacra
Pinot-like nose with lots of red fruit to the fore. Nice crunchy fruit on the palate but a touch on the chewy side.

2009 Pazos Del Rey Monterrei Sila
Spain, Galicia, Monterrei
I'm a big Mencia fan but this was a disappointment. A little linear and dried out.

2007 Perelada Empordà Finca Malaveïna
Spain, Catalunya, Empordà
Dark red almost to the rim. Interesting nose: polish and pickled relish. Very concentrated but chewy and hard work at this stage without much fruit to reward your effort. Will it eventually come good? It's an expensive gamble at £24.
