Urbina 2004 Gran Reserva Especial.
Duncan and I found this from an independent exclusive Spanish supplier at the Manchester SITT Tastings. We were blown away and there’s nobody selling this is North-West. Only 18 bottles & we don’t know if it’ll ever be back in stock at Dvino.
Single Estate Own Vineyards Produced from Tempranillo Grapes. Aged 30 Months in American & French Oak.
