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.

Mat,

While the Berberana Gran Reservas I've tried have been very good, I remember being disappointed with the Berberana Dragon.

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.

Cheers,

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.
