Castillo La Paz 2009

Hey, Winebums hit 100 posts. Here's to the next 100.

Festooned with bronze and silver stickers denoting its success in sundry wine contests, the Castillo La Paz is no glugger. Should you attempt to glug this one, you will find a weird but cool nose of figs, and a very thick glycerin-ey texture combined with medium concentration.

So this comes into its own with robust food where the structure and length works and it moves up a couple of notches as a result.

Castillo La Paz 2009 7.5/10 (as a food wine) 6-6.5/10 otherwise. Waitrose, £6.50.
