Wine of the Week

12 March 2004

2000 Les Alcusses, Valencia, Spain
£6.99, Moreno Wines

This wine is a thunder. But it's supposed to be. It comes from the seriously hot vineyards of Valencia, where the grapes are bulgling with ripeness. This is a powerful brew that almost goes too far, but the intense richness of dates and figs and a welcome scrape of tannin keep it on the right side of OTT.
