El Bombero 2006 £6.29
The 2005 topped the Customer Poll yet again last year ... and we fully expect the 2006 vintage to continue its winning streak! It's the ancient Garnacha vines of remote Cari?ena, the brilliance of winemaker Javier Domecque and yields lower than Grand Cru Burgundy that produce the wealth of deep, velvety rich fruit flavour fans adore. Chateauneuf or Barossa Shiraz sometimes match 'El Bomb' for power - but never at this price. And boy, does it give flavour for the money, layer upon mouthwatering layer! Deep purple colour, ripe raspberry and blackcurrant aromas with mouthfilling rich fruit kept deliciously smooth and full bodied by the whack of 15% alcohol. Serve in large glasses with hot, juicy roasts - or butcher's sausages.
