Barbazul Tinto Roble

Overpowering

My palate is used to young wines which have less alcoholic strength than this Barbazul but with more quaffing I think I could get used to it! Needs, I think, to accompany hearty food such as a beef stew or spag bol. I sense that it will improve with age but will find it difficult to keep it very long. Classy young wine.

Great value

A very good wine from Arcos. Full flavoured and easy drinking. Just a word of warning - it is 15.5 degrees of alcohol, so treat it with some respect and caution unless you are prepared for the consequences!!

Deep and aromatic and fab value

This is a great wine with any meat or cheese dish, or simply on its own. It is surprisingly deep red and rounded in flavour for its age. As with its white sister it is also exceptional value.

Very drinkable wine

We tried this wine as we were visiting Cadiz and thought it would be a good idea to test it first. It's a really lovely fresh but young wine and very drinkable - in fact, we keep buying it!

Excellent value

Perhaps a little fresher than more recent vintages with particularly lifted aromatics on the nose. Terrific fruit and great balance leading to a long refreshing finish.
