Baron Del Cega - Valdepenas - Gran Reserva 1999


This well-balanced Gran Reserva is made from hand-picked Tempranillo grapes which give it an intense ruby-red colour with amber tones. Matured for 24 months in American oak barrels, it has complex flavours of red fruits and vanilla. On the palette, the wine is characterised by its sweet tannins and fragrant bouquet.

Alcohol percentage : 13% Vol.

Bottle Size : 75cl

Where to buy : Lidl

Price : 5.49 GBP

Personal Opinion : This wine was well worth the money, however the next time I would drink it with a heavy meal. I personally think that it would shine better. We were drinking this by itself and we both agreed that the wine was very strong in flavours and heavy to drink.

Personal points : 8/10
