Tres Picos (€13.85) by Bodegas Borsao, is a 100% Garnacha wine produced in the D.O. Campo de Borja (Aragon) and aged for 5 months in French oak barrels. The best wine in the world in terms of value for money according to Robert Parker in 2013. Very intense picota cherry colour with purplish hints. A red wine with a well-structured body with flavours of blackberry, plum and hints of vanilla with sweet and silky tannins. https://www.mr-vin.com/producto/borsao-tres-picos/
Sardón (€8.70) produced in Ribera del Duero by the Quinta Sardonia winery where Peter Sisseck (Pingus, Hacienda Monasterio and Clos D’Agon) sets the guidelines and Jerôme Bougnaud runs the vineyards and winery. 93% Tempranillo, the rest is Cabernet Sauvignon, Garnacha Tintorera and Malbec from vines that are 35-years-old and it is aged for 12 months. It begins intensely in the nose with very fresh red fruit, notes of red liquorice and cherries.
