Poor value

By Birdy

A highly disappointing Rioja for the price and description - a thin watery flavourless red wine with few traces of it being from the Tempranillo grape and little resemblance to a Rioja TESCO customer service did replace it well done to TESCO

Reasonably smooth enough but lacking in taste and body. Would only buy this wine when its on offer

I have bought several, usually budget wines from Tesco, and have never been disappointed. I would not profess to be any sort of "buff", but I have always been satisfied with the product.

Nice wine for the price. Not sure why they bother covering the bottle in gold string though, think we know it's not a 1988 £80 vintage. Nice for after dinner drinking though.

Reasonable Wine

By Bowler66

Not one of my favourites, quite a light bodied wine. The price is usually at the lower end and this is reflected by the quality of the wine.

Well worth the money

By Spittalbrook

One of the few wines I've tasted recently that are still worth the money in this era of unnecessarily super-inflated wine prices. I've saved a couple of bottles for Christmas lunch.

Best cheap Spanish Red

By Adrian53
25 October 2012
Dabbler
Male, aged 45-54

This review is for the 2011 vintage

I have bought this whilst it has been on offer many times. This is great little number. Typically Tempranillo grape flavours, a little bite to it with its spiciness. You must get this wine at room temperature to enjoy it at ts best. I think it is fantastic value for money and is just like some of the Rioja's we drink when we are at our little house in Spain. Go for it!

A good all round Rioja. It will only surprise you by how well it goes down. Smooth, very tasty and excellent value. Just nice to drink for its own sake. I always have a case or two on my shelf, although only for a short time

Quite good

By Ronald

This review is for the 2011 vintage

I am quite a lover of Spanish wine. I had a house in Spain for a number of years and aquired quite a taste for many Spanish wines. I have bought bottles of this wine before and have found that it is consistenly good. The Reserva version is slightly better but not that much. It is a typical northern Spanish wine without quite the same depth as most Rioja wines which come from nearby. Overall a quite tasty wine folr drinking with lighter meats like lamb. Excellent value for the price. I would recommend it and will buy it again.

semi full bodied dinner wine

By ladyden1
24 October 2012
Explorer
Female, aged 55-64

This review is for the 2009 vintage

I consider this to be a semi full bodied red wine simply because it does not have the 100% weight of a rich claret. My terminology is definitely not wine lingo, but I do not know how else to describe this very pallatable table wine. I like to drink this with pastas or rice dishes, as it seems to compliment the flavours well. A slight tang in the roof of my mouth, but after a few sips, I did not notice this any further. A great red wine at a greater price.

Super posh bottle with gold wire net on it but the contents disappoint. It is drinkable but seems flat with no after taste and slightly stale feeling.

If your'e tired of tilting at windmills take a break and settle down with a bottle of this lovely wine, on the cheap side but very good value, very nice with a mature cheddar in front of the T.V(better with the T.V OFF)
