Post subject: | Muriel Gran Reserva Rioja 1996 |
tasted our Christmas Reds last night and our favourite wine, despite having several at ?15 to ?20, was Muriel Gran Reserva Rioja 1996 (!), which is in the Co-op for ?9.99, reduced to ?5.99 until 1st Jan. you also get 5% off for 6 bottles, of course. it was beautifully american oak scented without being too coconutty and very very smooth and velvety in the mouth. however, this was balanced by fresh red fruits. really a vg wine indeed. just a word of warning, they also do the straight Reserva 1998, which is ?7.99 normal price. the gran reserva is in xgold netting. tasted 30/11/05 WHICH IS A LONG TIME AGO. DON'T GO OUT AND BUY CASES OF IT UNTIL YOU HEAR FROM ME THAT IT'S SAFE...... YES, IT IS SAFE, BUT NOT AS ASTONISHINGLY FAB AS I REMEMBER IT. STILL DEFINITELY WORTH ?5.99 AND IF YOU BUY A CASE YOU GET 10% OFF (5% FOR 6) WHICH BRINGS THE PRICE DOWN NICELY. |
