Dominio del Bendito El Premer Paso 2021

Jake Morrison — Spanish reds keep surprising me

8/10

I've been getting more into Spanish wines lately and this Dominio del Bendito is a great find. Really expressive nose, you can smell it as soon as you pour. The finish lingers in a really pleasant way that makes you want another sip. Had it with some grilled lamb chops and it was spot on.

Adaobi Eze — Really impressed with this one

8/10

Picked this up from a local wine shop on a whim and glad I did. Really warming and smooth, the fruit flavours come through nicely without being too jammy. Had it with a slow-cooked beef stew and it was perfect. At £25 it's not an everyday bottle but definitely one I'd buy again for a weekend treat.

Dmitri Volkov — Good but not amazing

6/10

Bit pricey for what it is honestly. It's a decent red, nice enough smell when you pour it and the taste is fine — quite structured with good acidity. But for £25.50 I'd probably want something that blows me away a bit more. Would maybe try it again if it was on offer.
