Aldi, The Exquisite Collection Reserva, Rioja, 2005

92
Tasted by: Tina Gellie
Drinking Window: 2016 - 2020
You don't often get the chance to snap up wines with 10 years or more under their belt – especially from supemarkets concerned with turnover. So this is a welcome surprise, and a steal at the price. Tightly structured with dusty tannins and fresh acidity, it has tart plum, red berry, white pepper and smoky cigar box flavours that cry out for roast lamb.
