Tasting Notes...
Cotes Rotie is the most northerly of the Rhone appellations. Guigal'sinterpretation of Cotes Rotie is lovely dark ruby red. Aromas of rasberry, blackberry, cassis, spice and vanilla. Deep flavours of spicy red berries, with a hint of cocoa, perfectly balanced with scarcely perceptible acidity and round soft tannins from long ageing in oak
Just starting to drink well now, with the bonus that you can keep some bottles to mature for up to another ten years
Tasting Notes...
The elegant nose of Cloudy Bay Pinot Noir is immediately appealing, with ripe plum, raspberry, spice and floral notes. The palate has dark chocolate, dark fruit and spice, playing with leather and some herby liquorice hints. Fine tannins linger on a persistent finish. This is one classy Pinot Noir!
We say...
A classic wine from an outstanding producer
Tasting Notes...
Real Rubio Gran Reserva Rioja is a characterful wine is made from two indigenous Rioja grape varieties which are suited to ageing, whilst still preserving their individual qualities. It is matured in American oak casks for 26 months and a further 40 months in the bottle prior to release. This lengthy ageing is apparent in the intensity of the wine's ruby and brick-red hues. Soft, complex aromas dominate, with dried fruit and leather, hints of raisins, dates and dried apricots. The palate is very soft, long and smooth, but above all, elegant. Perfect for great occasions.
Tasting Notes...
Real Rubio Crianza Rioja grapes are from specially selected low-yield vines to create a quality wine suitable for ageing. Oak-cask aged for 18 months, of which twelve are French, with the remaining six months in American oak giving the final polish. The resulting above average wine, shows typical Rioja Crianza characteristics that are accentuated by the terroir of Aldeanueva de Ebro and the house style of the Real Rubio winery. The Graciano grape combined with the classic Tempranillo gives a wine with lively colours and solid acidity. On the nose, red berries mingle with the vanilla from the French-oak cask. The fulfilling palate is long and pleasing with it's fruitiness and soft acidity, harmoniously balanced by ripe tannins.
