Medium ruby colour, lightish and perfumed nose concealing a rather powerful mouthfeel of strawberry and plum with some leathery and cigar-box tones. This bottle still has medium acidity, moderately high alcohol and nicely rounded tannings. Going by previous bottles I'd have thought this wine wouldn't have much fight left in it, but I was wrong. Terrific value.

Classic Rioja crianza nearing the end of its drinking life. Aromas and flavours of strawberry and maybe plum, plus cigar box and leather. Terrific value at the time of writing (around £12).

Light rubyish colouring with delicate bricking. This wine had a lovely nose, cherry, strawberry and that slightly meaty quality all came through.
Nice! Savoury tract comes through this. Leather, cigar box, nice fruit profile. At this price its a great buy.
