James Suckling

With notes of black fruit on the nose and a fresh, easy-drinking palate with minty, peppery and prune aromas, Costalarbol 2016 is the perfect accompaniment to spicy dishes.

A warm wine with well-contained alcohol, very good indeed, but to be reserved for autumn/winter with simmered dishes and powerful meats.
