Biurko Gorri Rioja Joven Tinto 2016

A stand out example of pure Tempranillo organically grown in Spain's Rioja.

Soft and mineral, a delicious mix of red and dark fruit. Open and expressive, with nutty tannins and a lick of spicy acidity, it's clearly Rioja and perfectly varietal Tempranillo. Matured in tank so the wines stays fresh and vibrant and allows the the fruit characters to fully shine through.

Bodegas El Maestro Sierra 15 Year Old Oloroso

Dry, nutty start. Hazelnuts, brazil nuts. Umami notes of beef stock and dried mushrooms. On the other end of this earthy, darker side there is a brightness of bitter oranges and fresh figs. A bit of toffee and echoes of spices (not unlike gingerbread, really nice).

On the palate it is medium-bodied, with a surprising lightness and ease to it. Good balance of acidity, a suggestion of caramel sweetness, lightly bitter notes (dried herbs, Seville oranges) and a soft, gingery … more

Celler del Roure Parotet Mando 2012

Mandó is low in colour but with good acidity and is nicely beefed up by a touch of Monastrell to

affect a blend of red fruits, earthen countryness, tea and balsalm with pleasing freshness. Elegant

and balanced, it is savoury with nice sweet acid freshening gentle spicy tannin roundness. There’s

good reach up and back in the mouth, which washes out to a relaxed, gentle and savoury finish.

Parotet sits beautifully in the mouth and is fresh all around the … more

Cillar de Silos Joven Tempranillo 2016

Tobacco and anise add complexity to earthy dark cherry - pure Ribera del Duero fruit with a brambly boysenberry and cassis lift. Mineral and savoury, masculine but in no way big, there’s only mid-level glycerol and fine, long, very mature tannins. A wonderful wine.
