Such fine grained tannins. Lovely complexity with aroma of cherries in liquor, cedar and savoury notes. A fantastic Bordeaux blend from #somontano #ageswell #ageworthy #viñasdelvero

Never tried a wine from Somontano Aragon 🇪🇸 but this is apparently the one @ £63-£73! It’s a lovely drop for sure & would benefit from a few more years ageing but deliciously different w/ the red fruit at the forefront 😁

17.5/20 (93/100) Насыщенный, сладкий аромат вишневого варенья, гвоздики, кориандра и чёрного шоколада. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и довольно интенсивными танинами. Вкус ничуть не уступает аромату, послевкусие продолжительное. Великолепно!

Big deep blend. Fantastic structure to this wine. Fantastic with the 12 year dry aged ribeye.
