Tanners Spanish Reserva La Mancha 2018

This has wonderful silky, velvety texture with the Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend giving excellent blackcurrant fruit combining with soft, vanilla spicy flavours from long maturation in American oak.

Barrel-aged Tempranillo (Cencibel) sourced from the La Mancha-based Bodegas Ayuso, just outside Valdepeñas. Great price! Lovely vanilla nose. Round and mature with great, well-balanced fruit. Not that complex but VGV. 13.5%. Jancis Robinson, www.jancisrobinson.com, 7th October 2022.
