Another Rioja, which let’s face it, it’s fairly standard for UK drinkers of red wine. This is actually pretty good and get red fruits on the nose.

It’s dry, relatively intense in the flavours of plum, redcurrants, oak and vanilla coming through with little bit of herbaceous notes.

It’s normally about £9 which isn’t bad, but get it when it’s 25% off and it becomes pretty good value. It’s not a red wine that’s going to embarrass you and for the summer good drinking.

Campo Viejo from spain produces a lot of wine and this winemaker’s art got a solid bronze at the Decanter World Wine Awards in 2018. Its a very easy drinking red Rioja.

It’s got a nice deep red colour, just starting to age a little, but its 5 years old after all. the aromas are red fruit, cherry and hints of blackcurrant and a little earthiness. The taste is firm, good concentration of fruit, with notes of spice, vanilla and hints of tobacco and a cloves. There are medium tannins that are soft but balanced and decent length of flavour.

I enjoyed this and under £10 a bottle is good value.
