Spain – Red – 2006 – 13%
Region: Rioja
Producer: Bodegas AGE
Label: Romeral
Grape: Tempranillo
Brick red wine with floral aromas. Medium-full bodied, some acidity with fairly dry tannins. Good length and moderate finish with flavours of rose and raspberry. Overall, this wine is a bit sharp, yet has greater complexity than some reservas; seems to be a pretty good value and will likely buy it again.

Spain – Red – 2007 - 13%
Region: Jumilla
Producer: Bodegas 1890
Label: Castillo San Simon Crianza
Grapes: Tempranillo, Monastrell
Ruby red with aromas of dark berry fruit. Fairly full bodied with a matt texture. No remarkable length or finish. Pleasant enough slightly baked flavours of cherry and blackberry. Not a remarkable wine, picked up this bottle on offer for £3.99 but at the regular price would look for something else.
Waitrose £4.99
