I am afraid this is all my fault. I set up Naked Wines, with a great team of people, because I love wines made by little guys, and I loathe wines made in factories. I hope you like them! Please tel

I have found this to be a perfectly acceptable wine, but maybe not warranting the Reserva Privada status. It has a nice fruity bouquet, an attractive colour to look at, and then it is down to the acid-test - how does it taste?

Well, it is certainly softer with food, as there is a bit of an acid edge creeping in without. It' shouldn't be a problem really, as you identify a wine's characteristics and play to it's strengths accordingly. That is not to say this wine cannot be enjoyed without food, rather that is just better enjoyed with food.

Dark fruits on the palate, some cherry for sure, a touch vegetal at times, that touch of sharpness without food (and as I tap away here...), combined with some vanilla notes and maybe liquorice too. Quite happy to embibe this, and even more so for the price that I managed to pick this up for recently!

Today we“ve been tasting the wines of the vintage 2010 that have been almost 12 months in oak. That“s very useful to choose the barrels for the next year: what are the best cooperages and what kinds of toasting fit better with our wines. You can see a picture in our facebook.

Very happy right now, as Sam has just confirmed that the Archangel's of the Year trip to visit Joost and Miguela at Villebois has been booked! So we - Frankie & Kevin, Simon & Penny, Hil's and myself along with the lovely Sam are Loire bound for the 27-29th April trip. Woohoo! We are going to have a great time! Thank you Naked Wines, you rock.

Fresh, dry and fruity. Went well with white fish.

Just missing that minerally edge I look for in a great white wine.
