Finca Bacara Time Waits For No One Stone Elephant 2022: Robust and Rewarding

Daisy Miller — Bit pricey for what it is

5/10

Saw good reviews online so gave it a go. It's alright — nice plum and berry flavours, quite smooth. But £16 for a Jumilla Monastrell feels steep when you can get similar quality for a tenner. The chocolate notes on the finish were nice though.

Gianluca Ferro — Spanish gem

7/10

Had this at a friend's BBQ and immediately asked what it was. Really elegant for a big Spanish red — none of that jammy heaviness you sometimes get. Lovely floral thing going on with the red fruit. Tracked a bottle down the next week.

Marco Andretti — Love the elephant label

7/10

Ok the label drew me in, I'll admit it. But the wine is genuinely nice — chocolatey and smooth with a berry sweetness that isn't over the top. Went down very easily with a pizza night. Dangerously drinkable for 14%.
