Bodegas Navajas CrianzaRioja Spain1 x 75cl Bottles  This smooth, plump Rioja wins pride of place as one of our members' favourite reds vintage after vintage. We love its combination of vanilla-infused flavour from high-quality oak ageing and vibrant red-fruit notes. Conde de Valdemar Rioja Gran Reserva Rioja Spain 1 x 75cl BottlesThe wine is clean, bright and dark garnet in colour with layered red fruit accompanied with creamy vanilla, clove and black pepper nuances. The palate is elegant and expressive with sweet bramble fruit, succulent plum and fetching rich cherry; medium bodied with firm tannins and balanced acidity, earthy with hints of tobacco on the finish. Emilio MoroRibera del Duero Spain1 x 75cl Bottles Intense cherry red colour with violet tones typical of his youth. The aroma is intense and very concentrated, the hallmark of this vintage. The black fruits stand out with an optimum maturity without reaching the jam, the wood notes are subtle and well integrated. In the mouth it has a good body of ripe tannin but alive and with a balanced acidity that favours the passage through the mouth. Artuke Rioja Rioja,  Spain 1 x 75cl Alluring wild rose and ripe cherry aromas and flavors, with crushed red and purple berries, soft earth, wild green herbs, salty licorice, and cherry cola.   La Rioja Vina Alberdi Reserva Rioja Spain 1 x 75cl La Rioja Alta Viña Alberdi Reserva is a deep, ripe cherry red in colour with a clean, bright pink rim. On the nose dominating aromas of ripe red fruit, currants and licorice, rounded off with sweet notes of vanilla, caramel, jam and spices. The palate is smooth, elegant, medium-bodied and well balanced with sweet and tasty tannins. Pleasant finish with ripe fruit, herbs, vanilla and caramel flavours. Canforales TempranilloLa Mancha Spain1 x 75cl Bottles This red wine is made from fruit grown on the plains of La Mancha and is mostly Tempranillo topped us with a little Syrah which gives a touch of backbone and spice.
