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
