"A fantastic find from Penedes in Spain – this has classic Rioja-style aromas with balsamic and vanilla hints and a silkily textured palate of cassis and red fruits. Very, very drinkable. The 2008 is newly shipped and continues the run of good form showing all the finesse and flavour that we enjoyed so much in the 2006 vintage - a great follow up."
