Bought 6b for 15/b from a local independent shop 15 years ago; this is #2. Cork somewhat dry, crumbly. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Dark ruby; fragrant spicy red fruits that follow on the palate, some tartness, good mouthfeel. Tasty, not delicious. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. My evaluation (see earlier posts for my 4-category, non-point rating system): This is notable when considering quality, age, and price.

Averys Easter Tasting (Averys, Bristol): Very Spanish. Rich fruit and oak nose, very nice but nothing particularly distintive. A bit of a bomb on the palate, big acid, big oak, medium tannin, very juicy, seductive, but a touch over the top for me. Should hit the 90+ mark for those who like this style. £23.99

A wine similar in style to Casa Cisca - concentrated, full bodied, high acidity and lots of dark and red fruit. Very high in tannins. Significantly less balanced than the Cisca but with lots of potential to improve in the cellar. A better buy than the Cisca.

Muscular wine, very concentrated. Good balance of fruit, acid, and tannins. A tad hot on the alcohol. Decent wine for the money.
