Wine Tasting Note: Bodegas Penalba Lopez Torremilanos Gran Reserva, 1996, Ribera del Duero, Spain.
Available from Decanter Wines for £16.50.
Magical - a mouthfilling layer of soft, sweet fruits that are mellowing into a savoury plum while. There is an edge of tomato richness to the aroma with complexity that comes from age. Needs an hour or two open to really develop. Alcohol 13%.
Scribblings Rating - 90/100

The website, from Spanish specialists Decanter Wines, is excellent with plenty of detail on each of there wines.
