Viejo y Magistral by Faust Riv Ulecia Utiel Requena DO Reserva 2013

Joelle Thomson
Wine Writer

“Spain is home to some of the world’s best value red wines, like this dry, full bodied wine from the Utiel-Requena DO – a large wine region in the south east. This wine tastes fresh, even at seven years old. It has dark plummy fruit flavours and firm tannins, suggesting it has even more time up its weighty sleeve, if cellaring wine is on your agenda. It’s also a lovely drink now.” – 3.5 Stars, Joelle Thomson Wine Writers
A big softy! After a strong attack on the nose with hints of forest floor, smoke and vanilla, the body is round with soft tannins and oaky warmth pulling it together.
