This is what Spanish wines are doing so well at the moment...the Australians would be too 'up-front'..and leave you saying no to a second glass...not the case here...
Solanera Bodegas Castano 2004
Yecla, Spain
Deep purple colour; dark fruits spring from
the glass, sweetness. smoke..spices;
flavour full.. rich and ripe...but also elegant..the fruit and tannin perfectly balanced with the oak,
the 20% Cabernet plays an important role in this excellent Cuvee, easy to enjoy now.. decant it..and lay a few bottles down if you can leave it alone.
Points 17.5 +

Castano has an excellent range of wines - I love them all, and generally excellent values.
