2011 Borsao Seleccion Tinto, Campo de Borja 6.29
Is this the wine bargain of the year?
Read what Robert Parker, the American wine critic had to say:
'Possibly the single greatest dry red wine value in the world, this is an unbelievable wine...Its deep ruby/ purple colour is followed by classic aromas of kirsch liquor intermixed with raspberries, loamy soil and flowers. This medium to full-bodied wine possesses remarkable depth, an expansive texture and wonderful freshness as well as purity. On taste alone, this beauty could easily sell for $30-$50 a bottle...i don't understand how anyone can make wines this good to sell at this price...90 points.'
