Robert Parker

“Borsao Tinto 2012, produced during the fourth consecutive year of drought in the province of Zaragoza, stands out as one of the finest vintages. A delightful wine with aromas of black cherry, ground chalk, and fragrant flowers that burst from the glass. Richly fruity, full-bodied, supple, and velvety, this robust 2012 will age well for many years. ” (Wine Advocate Nov. 2013 - Robert Parker)

Note and review by Mr. BENOIT J. Published on 17/02/2015

Obviously, for the price, you can’t ask for more from this simple, rustic wine. Red fruit flavors without much subtlety. Very short on the palate and not very rich. A far cry from the praise Parker heaps on all Spanish wines. Worth trying if you’re looking to explore Iberian wines.

Review by Mr. ANTOINE R. Posted on November 17, 2014

Fruity, full-bodied, and vibrant, this red wine is the essence of Spain. Pair it with tapas or red meat—it’s a real treat! As always with 1jour1vin, the value for money is top-notch. Well done!

Review by Mr. JUAN JOSE R. Posted on 10/21/2014

I was expecting much better given the rave reviews on the website; it has a very strong flavor, typical of supermarket wines bought in Spain. I was a bit harsh because my wife actually likes it, so I’m adding a star.

A surprise! Very fruity, this is a pleasant wine to drink, and despite its high alcohol content, it isn't overpowering. A good investment
