Guys, Anyone have any spare old Spanish red wine from a decent producer ?? I am attending another evening do and the theme is Spanish wines, this is a new area to me apart from basic supermarket riojas etc. Ideally a wine from the early 1980`s would be good as long as its under £40.00. Duncan / Mel any spare in your vast cellars ?? Regards Richard |

Tell Majestic by email that you're doing a formal tasting session, and they will prossibly let you get away without buying 6. I should get in contact fairly quickly if I were you. Or mix with other affordable choices. Order using Mel's banner |

Duncan, Many thanks I have two of these from Costco in my cellar I forgot about. The only problem though is I guess 2/3rd of the attendees would have tried this one already. Will ask though as it would save me some money !! Regards Richard |

Shezza, Two new tns on cellar tracker which would suggest it is still a decent wine with good length. Regards Richard |

Based on those, I have a good reason to trust him. If buying for DOB reasons, for the wine to go to a 40th as attractive as it is now for 2018 celebrations, that is another call. The Maj fine wine centre is in St. Johns Wood, I believe. Call them if you can get the tel.number, for an opinion. For £25 and drinking 2010/2011/2012 it is a snip. Costco cash & carry stock & sell 20 year plus Rioja gran reserva ? - Struth . You sure ! And how long ago ? |
