Viña Albali (Spain) Valdepeñas Gran Reserva 1997
This wine is undeniably Rioja-like in style, but modern Rioja, where the quality and purity of ripe, rich black Tempranillo fruit is allowed to sing and is supported by, rather than smothered in, creamy American oak. It is aromatic, sumptuous and beautifully balanced, with warming tobacco and spice layered with masses of fruit. Great value wine and excellent. £6.49 - £6.99 - Booth's, Budgens, Morrison's, Sainsbury's, Unwins and Thresher from early summer.
Tresher has an offer on this wine, buy 2 and get the 3rd one free, which would make this wine approx. 5 pound per bottle.
percentage : 13% Vol.
Year : 1999
Origin : Valdepenas
Personal opinion : Don't forget that this is a Gran Reserva and is the nearest thing to a Rioja. The price of this bottle is amazing. I don't think you could get any better at that price.
Personal points : 9.5/10
