2006 Castillo San Lorenzo Gran Reserva
Rioja is arguably Spain’s top wine region and one of only two regions classified under the Denominación de Origen Calificada (DOCa ) system. It’s tow most important red grapes are Tempranillo and Garnacha. The medium body in Spanish red wine from Rioja makes them excellent for pairing with a variety of foods.The approachable price points makes these wines of outstanding quality,really available to enjoy sand guilt .
Food paring : Beef , Lamb, Pirk ,Game( deer,venison) and spicy food
All over impression :Plums,spice ,cherries on the nose which follow with a very classic flavour profile, which I love: sour cherries , red currants, vanilla and a little hint of spice . High acidity,like a Pinot Noir,and smooth,low-key tannins. Long lasting too,ligering around on the tastebuds for quite a while after a sip.
