"Nice fruity nose becoming more peppery after some aeration. On the palate, warm with ripe fruits. A good balance between fruit and tannins."

"A fine value, the 2000 Allende (100% Tempranillo aged 13 months in primarily French oak and bottled unfiltered) exhibits a dense garnet/ruby/purple-tinged color as well as striking nose of lead pencil shavings, black currants, and cherries. Rich, elegant, and medium-bodied, with excellent purity as well as nicely integrated wood, acidity, and tannin, it should be enjoyed over the next 5-7 years."

"Finca Allende 2000 Rioja Spain
There’s a slightly minerally edge to the fresh, crushed red fruits nose which is really appealing. The palate is savoury with lots of fresh, bright fruit. Nice density. It’s very pure, fruity and expressive. A delicious modern-styled Rioja. Very good/excellent 92/100
(£13.95 Berry Bros & Rudd)
