The Wine
Big Red El Bombero has been a top choice with customers for over 20 years. Following another magnificent vintage, Javier Domeque made this sophisticated, Gran Reserva version for the second year running using the pick of his Cariñena crop. To qualify as a Gran Reserva, the wine was aged in oak for three years with further time in bottle prior to release. It’s made entirely from Garnacha, an important component of many full bodied Spanish reds, and also of Châteauneuf du Pape from neighbouring France. At 14% vol, it is a touch less powerful than El Bombero itself but full of rich berry flavour, with delicious spicy complexity from American oak. The 2010 is perfect right now. Just decant for an hour and serve with roast shoulder of lamb.

One of those wines, that at first taste, you look at each other and say ‘Whoa!’ Loved it
