GOLD MEDAL: Decanter World Wine Awards 94 POINTS: Jamie Goode, Wineanorak.com 92 POINTS: Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"The 1986 Oloroso de Añada is one of the few, rare, single-harvest Oloroso sherries available. In the 28 years of oxidative aging in oak butts, 55% of the wine evaporated. The resulting wine is mahogany-colored with a bright amber border and a balsamic nose of incense, old furniture, tobacco and wax. The palate is medium to full-bodied and gentle with slight sweetness." – Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
chianti at a good price- good value for everyday drinking
Not quite in same class as recent chianti from Wine Direct released earlier this year-but also half the price. Excellent value for a red wine: you don't have to worry about finding a superior food to match at this excellent price.
Hard pushed to find a NZ red at this price/quality ratio!
