This area often has a reputation for producing expensive, good quality wines from the Tempranillo grape ( also called Tinta del Pais). This was a steal at the price of £5.49 from Aldi Spermarkets - but was it any good?
Having poured it, we peered into the glasses - great purple ruby colour, and the ripe black cherry aromas and spicy juicy plums - smelt good to us all, and so we tasted it.....Once more black cherries, blackberry, vanilla and toast, chocolate and coffee hover in the background tantilisingly, the tannins - definite grip but ripe and coating, there was fresh acidity and the alcohol felt well tucked in ( 13.5%) and supported the good structure of this wine well. It had a lovely long finish with a sweet spicey end. My after thoughts - soft, long and full - and please can I have some more!
Well done Aldi ! Amazing value.
