Berberana – 2001 Gran Reserva Rioja

Type: Bordeaux

This was the oldest of the vintages of red at the wine tasting session. This wine has a very herbal taste, perhaps because of the terroir the grapes came from.

This is a non-review as the bottle that I tried was corked. It promised to be good…

An excellent strong Barolo. Great colour and fragrance, quite a bold flavour. Perfect with a steak (I wouldn’t drink this on itself).

As I love port I thought it would be interesting to try the Selfridges brand port (bottled by Whytingham’s). Long story short, spend your money elsewhere. You can get better port at a better price and I was very disappointed with this bottle. The flavours were not full and even the colour was too light. Not worth the price.

An excellent dry red wine. It had an nice full flavour with a hint of spice, a good aftertaste and a great aroma.
