Finca Valdelroble Tempranillo Merlot
Drinking wonderfully - forward fruit, supporting acidity and very soft underlying tannin. Remarkably good with goats’ cheese and blue cheese. Should be good for several years. Bought in Barcelona - wonderful memories. — 5 years ago

Fresh, fruity and still rather young with good body and high alcohol, with little loss of purplish edge yet. Could last another 5+ years, with the supportive soft tannin and acidity underpinning the forward fruit. — 5 years ago
