Comment on: Vina Tinajas Merlot 2011

It's OK. Fairly smooth but nothing particularly distinguishing about it.. Friends enjoyed it but not enough to warrant buying more.

It's OK. Quite fruity but not as smooth as I have become accustomed to. Thought it a bit pricey for what i is.

Was worried that after all the anticipation of tasting this wine again after the great day we had at Lords we’d be disappointed.

But no such problem! We decanted the wine for an hour or so while Kevin cooked supper (slow cooked lamb on a bed of vegetables).

The wine is deep ruby/purple with violets on the nose and red cherry and blackcurrants on the palate. Complex layers with hints of leather and tobacco. Firm tannins and just the right balance of acidity with a smooth silkiness means this can be drunk with or without food.

Top wine, just hope the next “Rising Star� tasting finds such a gorgeous wine!

A lovely bramble fruit tasting wine, smooth and drinkable. Took some round to friends last night and it went very well with the slow cooked lamb shoulder.
