A fantastic wine. To call ths a Bordeaux blend does not do justice to the quality here. This is clearly not an attempt to mimicking claret but a seriously rich and unctuous wine. Fruit, fruit and more fruit! Drunk with a roast rib is beef on Easter Sunday - a match made in heaven. Enjoy as a classic New World expression rather than as a claret substitute - which t most definitely s not. A good few ears ahead of ths one.

A classic easy drinking Rioja. Paired beautifully with roast leg of lamb. At the price point this is wonderful value for a very nice food wine.
