Heavy chocolate in both nose and body. Smooth, and slightly smoky. Fabulous weight and feel. — 8 years ago
Ribero del Duero never fails to please and this is a lovely value for money wine from Waitrose — 11 years ago
This came after the Pasion de Bobal so my critical faculties may have been slightly impaired but I enjoyed it a lot. Full bodied, ripe and velvet smooth with cordial rich black fruit and a dark, bitter sweet finish. Probably wouldn't have guessed it was Spanish if I didn't know. More like Oz or Argentina, hot, sweet & high (14.5%) alcohol. It doesn't have the acidity I associate (rightly or wrongly) with even the biggest Spanish reds but then it is from deepest Andalusia, barely 50 miles from Cadiz, so very hot. Don't think they're still using this Tintilla de Rota though, or if they are it's a tiny proportion of the blend. Current listings put it down as Syrah Merlot Cab. Oaked too, 5 months, new & nearly new. 2012. Oh, & it's a tenner from Cuckoo Wines... — 10 years ago
