A stonking value Crianza from Spain’s boujie region, Ribera del Duero. It’s a gorgeous mouthful of juicy blackcurrant pastilles and blueberries interwoven with vanilla and cedar. The wine, made from Tempranillo, matured in both French and American oak, with different levels of toasting, which has added gloss and pliancy in equal measure. Bargains from Ribera del Duero are very rare birds indeed, so snap this up if you are a keen wine twitcher, otherwise known as an oenothologist! I’ll see myself out. 14% alc. Drink now-2027.

Press review:

JancisRobinson.com: "Mid crimson. Much more of the cedar and spice about this one, compared with the Roble, but the bold, ripe dark-red and black fruit remains at the core. Almost incense-like. Plush, silky, succulent on the palate. Serious framing tannins and nice length. Likely to improve with another couple of years. (OC). Drink now-2030." 16+ points
