Despite all of the above, the holiday was a bit of a disaster. David had forgotten to pack some good humour, I had forgotten my patience and Declan had forgotten his immune system - maybe a holiday wasn't such a great idea!!!
There's always a silver lining - Coto de Imaz Reserva was €16 a bottle in a restaurant and Protos was a couple of Euro less.
Protos Roble '07, Ribera del Duero is a great value Northern Spanish red that offers almost everything - in my opinion.
A big but classy red. Black dark berry fruit - cherries and blackberry with a mild smokiness and a black liquorice twist. The finish is meaty and smooth with no harsh tannins.
This is an ideal roast meat red but try it with manchego cheese and chorizo sausage.
Available in Deveney's of Dundrum @ €15.00
