Caryl scored this wine: 95/100

Love the complex flavours in this wine. And has a very smooth mouth feel. Not a coincidence it's called Chocolate Block as the flavours just go so well with dark chocolate and berries. Delish!

Nice bold full bodied red but easy drinking. Goes really well with paired with steak. Value is great.

Lots of legs. Strong spicy rioja with lots of dark berry and pepper flavours. The kind of wine I would recommend for a rich red meat dinner. However, it's sophisticated enough to enjoy on it's own. It's a good choice any day of the week. Cheers
