Spanish wine that thinks it is a Bordeaux!

When I received the Vina Paceta 2004 I expected a typical juicy Rioja with simple, bold flavours. What I got was exceptional. The oak and red fruits integrate and mingle in the mouth, creating a complex, luscious essence. The tannins are soft and chewy, and the length lasts an age, but finishes soft and smooth. This wine resembles a Bordeaux more than a typical Rioja. The only problem is you have to drive to Swindon to purchase it. It's £7.99 at Magnum Wine Shop, Swindon. If any Oxfordshire bodega owners or wine stockists are reading this, please order the Vina Paceta 2004 Crianza. Let me know, I'll be around to pick up a case when it comes in!
