Mayford Tempranillo 2010 – 95 Points

Consumed this over a couple of nights and was sad to see it go. Immense drinkability and a real future ahead of it. Characterised in some ways by its dry, succulent, rippling tannin, though there is a fair show of flavour preceding it. Fruit-wise it does a gorgeous rendition of sweet-savoury: here it’s squishy, ripe, liqueurous cherries with spicy wood, soy and undergrowth. Feels both pure and precise through the finish. More-ish but intellectual. Beautiful wine. Rated: 95 Points.
