Spanish Tempranillo.
Hi Everyone,
Hope all is well. I was wondering if anyone knows much about a Tempranillo called Berberana Dragon Tempranillo? It's a 2000 vintage, and I'll be getting it at a steal (somewhere below 25% RRP). However from what I've read tempranillo can age reasonably well, but I cannot find a ballpark figure for how long this particular vintage can be expected to live for. Okely dokely, Thanks heaps as usual, Mat. |

Why not buy one bottle and try it; if you like it, get some more. As far as I know, the Dragon, the most inexpensive Berberana, is meant for near term or immediate consumption anyway.

Agreed. This is a £3.49 wine in UK, and the Co-op chain in particular sells huge
quantities of it. A passable to good Spanish table wine IMO, but it lacks the body to keep.

Spanish Tempranillo.
Thanks to everyone for their replies, much appreciated.
I was thinking of buying it as one of those wines you keep a case around for when people don't really care what they're drinking if you know what I mean. But I shall take your advice and try a bottle tonight and see what the result is. I would have to buy 2 cases (well buy one get one free), so if as you say it lacks the structure to age very long, then I might have to leave it, or palm some off to other people. :-) Okie dokie, Thanks again, Mat. |
