2007 El Vinculo Reserva, Alejandro Fernándrez

Spanish red with moderat oak, but with a bad sting of alcohol.


This wine was recommended by TaxFree personnel at Gardermoen Airport.

He promised a good wine, without the Spanish traditionell over-oaked taste.  I grabbed two bottles, but forgot to check the alcohol. This wine have over 15 % vol. and not according to my preferences. 

Color: Deep dark red to blue and impervious.
Nose: Blackcurrant and herbs. Smell of alcohol is disturbing otherwise  nice bouqett already in the nose. 
Taste: Nice ripe and cold berries with paprika and leather. Tannins are well integrated, but this wine is total out of balance as a bad alcohol sting hits you in the mouth.




Tested at home in Lier Friday, 9th October 2015
85/100 points.
Available at TaxFree Gardermoen to the price of NOK 179,90
