Comment on: Carlos Rodriguez Trigales NV
Went to a Burns night do last Saturday, If you don’t know what a Burns night is Carlos, its where grown men dress in skirts and drink whisky that tastes of antiseptic and eat sheep’s stomachs and get very drunk and dance together and then lift their Kilts and shock the women, well we did . Anyway as my contribution i took some of Levi Roots homemade Mactumplings ( my Ar** he has Scottish roots) and several bottles of Naked wines. It was a pleasure to see the wines especially the Trigales go down so well, hopefully resulting in a few new customers.
I have now depleted all my stock of this fine Tempranillo. Again opened and drunk some right off and berry fruit notes and that typical leather, tobacco nose and light tannins came to the fore possibly due to a short period in oak barrels. Once the bottle warmed, it opened up and more subtle flavors made an appearance.
As posted before a cracking wine at a bargain price.
Cheers Carlos
