April 6, 2020 - Tasty, don't drink it too warm. Would buy again, v. good at this price point. Simple, uncomplicated, honest..
March 29, 2020 - Dark berries touch of vanilla.
Plum, blackcurrant, juicy(ish)
A hint of leather on day 2.
Half Decent inexpensive RdD
Day 3 from the fridge; same but with a ripe cherry texture although the flavour was cherry stone with little fruit. All up front, nothing from middle to back. Very short, though what's there is pleasant. Maybe my score is a little generous.
Wouldn't buy it again.
February 22, 2020 - Dark berry fruits on the nose. Medium bodied with flavours of blackcurrant, a little earthy and a hint of vanilla. Quite acidic and tannic so would drink this with something like pasta with tomato sauce / pizza. No length. OK quaffing wine with food but nothing special. Would not buy this again.
October 30, 2019 - Deep ruby to the eye. On the nose heavy black fruit - blackcurrant, black cherry. A hint of liquorice(?); sweet vanilla notes from the oak. Big on the palate - a full-bodied, rounded tempranillo dominated wine but the cabernet sauvignon lends some heavy metal tannins. A good wine. Perfect for autumn nights drawing in.
October 25, 2019 - Mid range temparsnillo which has depth, flavour and mouth filling complexity. Plums, stone fruits with a touch of oak. Not too much. Very happy at this price point.
September 29, 2019 - Nice punchy and well priced Ribera del Duero with some red fruit aromatics that provides some lift. In the background there is a bit of depth and vanilla notes.
Note sure the label is entirely Woke. It is either really offensive or very ill judged.
September 7, 2019 - Gorgeous ripe fruited wine- not overly complex or long but primary deliciousness throughout.
February 15, 2019 - Delicious complex and well-structured Ribera. Enticing nose and an explosive pallet featuring dark fruits and a balanced vanilla and leather background. Aftertaste is negligible but satisfying. Very drinkable and vastly out-performs its pricetag. Highly recommended and a fine example of the style.
February 1, 2019 - Warm and ripe dark fruits, stewed prunes & cherries, blackberries, vanilla, some smoke on the nose. Soft and full-bodied on the palate with black fruits, cinnamon but felt like something was missing in the palate. Slightly disjointed with a huge oak element. Low acidity. Short finish. No complaints though for the price.
January 23, 2019 - Impenetrable black centre, red rim with hint of purple. Massive fruit nose which delivers as promised. Mouth coating, with enough tannin to support it. Blackcurrant and damson. Delicious. Could do with another year in bottle, but great now. Good value.
