Cillar de Silos, La Viña de Amalio, Tempranillo, Spain

This tempranillo from Cillar de Silos is quite a surprise. Bold and pretty dry with medium tannins with very good length. There are plenty of flavours of blackcurrant and plum, chocolate and oak notes with licorice and mint hints in the background.

At £60 a bottle it’s a bit overpriced.  Then again when you go over £30 a bottle it probably won’t make sny difference,  the only question is, is it any good and yes this is very good. Have with red meat or a tomato pasta dish to drink out the best.
