Long time since I’ve had Classico Reserva and I’d forgotten just how thin it seems until you actually sip it. Good fruit and balanced tannins to start but the star is the prolonged heady aftertaste.

Dry luscious white from Galicia. Needs chilling and delicious with vanilla bread and butter pudding. Probably okay with sea food.

Spicy and cherry-fruited. A bit like traditional claret but not as tannic. Probably best with spicy food, so I suggest goulash.
