Altos D`Oliva, Gran Reserva, Catalunya 2010
£9.45
Product Code: 3010F011
This Gran Reserva is from a small family vineyard in the hills above the river Ebro, the border between Roman Spain and Hannibal’s Carthaginian empire, just south of Priorat which is the source of some of Spain’s finest wines. A delicious tempranillo, garnacha and cabernet sauvignon which has long been our best-selling red wine under £10. With 10 years bottle age, this Gran Reserva is at its peak of maturity and perfect for drinking now. In our opinion, the equal of many much more expensive wines.

great everyday wine fantastic value for money
A deep garnet colour, tobacco box and cedar nose with plummy, blackberry fruit. Aging excellently.
I wish you wouldn't ask me to review wines. If I say they are good others will buy them and there will be none left for me to reorder. If I say they are bad you will not publish my review. For what it's worth, this Gran Reserva falls into the first category.
Of course, there is a third category, namely those which I do not intend to sample for a further decade or so.
This is great stuff. Tastes like a Gran Rserva because that is what it is - amazing price.
Fantastic mature Spanish wine. Thanks
