 Tasting Notes - Red Wine

  SPAIN

 CASTILLA & LEON
 
  El Albar Barricas, 2003 (Toro, Jacques & François Lurton)


 

Exceptional
Beautiful garnet colour, very expressive nose of red berries, toasted bread and tobacco, taste of caramel, raspberry, blackcurrant and cherry, elegantly full bodied, well-balanced and suave. €€ (Jun 07)

100% Tinta de Toro
  Unico, 1996
(Ribera del Duero, Bodegas Vega Sicilia)

Very good
Splendid expressive nose of toasted bread, nuts and fruit, a little too full bodied and heavy/rich on the palate, a little disappointing compared to the nose, long finish. €€€€ (Apr 07)

Blend of 60% Tempranillo, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon & Merlot
 
  Hermanos Lurton Red, 2006 (Rueda)

Acceptable
Nice colour but green nose, surprisingly mineral, dry and thin. € (Jun 07)

100% Tempranillo
