Finest* Teroldego IGT Vigneti Delle Dolomiti 2010 7.99 Red fruit aroma. Quite young tasting. Not terribly interesting at the moment. Santa Cristina Chianti Superiore 2010 10.99 Very little aroma. This is a light and fruity style of chianti. Glug it back with pasta, but don't try and think about it. Finest* Touriga Nacional 2011 7.79 Gorgeous aroma. This is beautifully violetty. Wow! Pretty sweet taste, with the same violet flavour. Like parma violets, actually. Lovely, but what to drink it with? ![]() Gran Tesoro Garnacha 2011 4.29 Fruity nose. Nicely fruity taste. Juicy and a little savoury. Excellent taste. ![]() Finest* Old Vines Garnacha 2010 7.79 Lovely aroma. Quite sweet, perhaps too sweet. Fruity and easy. Finest* Old Vines Tempranillo 2010 7.79 Very sweet nose. Really syrupy sweet aroma. Spicy, oaky and with slightly furry tannin. Not that great. Finest* Somontano 2010 6.99 Slightly strange on the nose, but not unpleasant. Disjointed palate. Not great. Finest* Viña Mara Rioja Reserva 2007 9.49 Fabulously inviting nose. The sort that makes you let out a little moan. Beautiful taste. This wine works again and again. There is no point in looking elsewhere for Rioja under a tenner. ![]() Finest* Viña Mara Gran Reserva 2004 13.79 Showing its age. Quite brick red and the aroma is caramelised and savoury, with some warm compost (well-rotted). The tannin's completely smoothed out. This is savoury heaven. ![]() |
