La Bota De Florpower 107 MMXX / Equipo Navazos
Red 14% ABV ABV Equipo NavazosGood but not blown away
Had this at a friend's dinner party and it was decent. Nice enough to drink and it's got some complexity to it, but for nearly £30 I think I expected more. The finish is clean and pleasant, nothing wrong with it at all, I just wouldn't rush out to buy a bottle myself.
Equipo Navazos doing reds now??
I know these guys from their sherry stuff so I was curious to try their red. Really expressive aromatics, like the wine is just shouting at you to drink it. There's genuine depth here, layers of fruit that keep unfolding as you sip. Not cheap but honestly feels like good value for the quality.
Really impressed with this one
Picked this up after the guy at my local wine shop recommended it. The nose is amazing — really fruity and inviting, you can smell it before you even get the glass to your face. Loads of fruit on the palate but it's not jammy or heavy, there's a freshness that keeps you going back. At £27 it's not an everyday wine but it's worth it for a Friday treat.
Nice wine, weird name
No idea what Florpower 107 MMXX means but the wine itself is pretty tasty. Fresh and structured with enough going on to keep it interesting. Opened it with some pasta and it was great — the acidity really works with tomato-based sauces. Finishes clean without hanging around too long. I'd grab another bottle if I saw it on offer.
Solid red for a special meal
Bought this for my wife's birthday dinner and it went down really well with the lamb. It's got a proper backbone to it — not flabby at all, nice acidity that cuts through rich food. 14% but you wouldn't know it, the alcohol is well hidden. Would buy again for the right occasion.
