From the outstanding 1999 L'Arrivet Haut Brion Rouge which was recently awarded 89 points, to the 1997 De Chambrun, an 88-pointer and recently raved about by Decanter Magazine.

1997 De Chambrun -
88 points, Wine Advocate #128. "A deep ruby/purple colour is accompanied by a thick, juicy nose of black fruits, truffles, dried herbs, earth, and grilled meat aromas. Surprisingly dense and concentrated, with moderate tannin, this is an atypically big, muscular 1997. Anticipated maturity: now-2010." - Robert Parker. A wine of great distinction - good deep colour with minty ripe delicate fruits. And blackcurrant and mint fruit on the palate. Recently featured by Decanter Magazine.

2001 Haut Beychevelle Gloria -
88 points, Wine Advocate #153. "This elegant, tasty, medium to full-bodied cru bourgeois possesses aromas of cedar wood, black currants, liquorice, and a hint of tapenade. With a soft, lovely texture, it will drink well for 7-10 years." - Robert Parker. A Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant blend, the wine is slightly earthy, but has some good blackberry character. Medium-bodied with silky tannins.

1999 L'arrivet Haut Brion Rouge -
89 points, Wine Advocate #140. "This perfumed, sexy effort is dominated by complex aromas of scorched earth, Provencal garrigue notes, and black cherries. It is medium-bodied, with serious concentration, moderate tannin, and a long finish. This plum/garnet-coloured wine will benefit from 2-3 more years of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015.." - Robert Parker. Handpicked fruit was de-stemmed, crushed and fermented in stainless steel and epoxy lined concrete tanks. The wine then matured in French oak barrels (60% to 70% new) for 18 months.

1999 Haut Batailley -
87 Points, Wine Advocate #140. "Although this 1999 is pinched and compressed in the finish, it offers elegant, sweet/spicy black currant fruit intermixed with notions of toast, cedar, and dried herbs. This medium-bodied Pauillac is best consumed during its first decade of life." - Robert Parker. A lovely fruity wine, with a solid core of fruit and ultrafine tannins. With cherry and blackcurrant on the nose the wine is full, suave and charming in the mouth and ends in a long finish.

1997 Langoa Barton -
84 points, Wine Advocate #128. "Langoa Barton's medium ruby-coloured 1997 exhibits sweet, herb-tinged, berry, and currant aromas, spicy, cedary, medium-bodied flavours, low acidity, and a pleasant but undistinguished finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years" - Robert Parker. Deep ruby with a powerful nose of cassis, berries and spice. Soft, involving palate with ripe tannins and a strong finish.

New wines from Oddbins - the latest wine update - this time it's Spanish Wines under the spotlight!

Simply extraordinary wines from Spain: Three world-class wines using the Tempranillo grape from the master winemakers of Pesquera, who have made a stellar reputation for themselves amongst lovers of all things vinous. So read on to find out more, and be sure to get your share of these gems before they are gone!

From the world-renowned producers Alejandro and Esperanza Fernández, we've just received stock of the Pesquera Crianza, and without beating about the bush, this is currently one of most sought after Spanish wines in the world. And in addition, we've also got their Condado de Haza, an outstanding Tempranillo from the same renowned stable. Bringing up the rear we have a very small quantity of the Dehesa La Granja - which hails from the new Pesquera estate bordering the Guareña River in the province of Zamora.

From their 500 acre bodega in the town of Pesquera in Ribera del Duero, Alejandro and Esperanza Fernández have been making wines since they first licensed their bodega in 1972. Like many great winemakers, Alejandro pursued other careers before his dream of running his own bodega was realised. He first worked as a carpenter, then as a salesman, and also as a designer of agricultural machinery. During all this time, however, he grew grapes on his own small vineyard to make wine for his own consumption. Today, all the wines produced by Alejandro Fernández are made exclusively from the difficult and quick maturing Tempranillo variety, of which he is known the world over as the master. The wines are aged in combinations of American, Spanish and French barrels, and spend a minimum of 15 months maturing in oak.

In our view, the passion, craft and finesse of these great winemakers is evident in every bottle. And don't just take our word for it - see below for the Wine Spectator's ratings of these outstanding wines. And remember, Oddbins.com will deliver any of these great Spanish wines right to your door.

 

2004 Pesquera Crianza - £16.99 per bottle or 10% off 6 / 20% off 12 bottles

93 Points, Wine Advocate #169 "The 2004 Tinto Pesquera (Crianza), from a great vintage, is opaque purple with a fragrant nose of lead pencil, earth, black currants, and blackberry liqueur that jumps from the glass… This superb, beautifully balanced effort should evolve for 4-6 years and drink well for another 10-15." - Jay Miller

2004 Condado de Haza - £14.99 per bottle or 10% off 6 / 20% off 12 bottles

91 Points, Wine Advocate # 169 "The brilliant 2004 Condado de Haza received malolactic fermentation in barrel followed by 15 months in American oak. Purple-coloured, it offers up fragrant aromas of cedar, tobacco, black currants and blackberry… Drink this hedonistic effort now and over the next 10-12 years." - Jay Miller

2001 Dehesa La Granja - £9.99 per bottle or 10% off 6 / 20% off 12 bottles

Flushed with the success of Pesquera and Condado de Haza, Alejandro Fernández decided to look further afield than the hallowed turf of Ribera del Duero and recently purchased a large estate bordering the Guareña River in the province of Zamora, the origin of this stellar Tempranillo. Aromas of dark chocolate, vanilla, cherry and raspberry mingle with coffee and notes of spice.
