Reviews and Ratings

Stephen Andrews reviewed this wine as follows:

Tasted Dec. 20th 2017. Colour dark ruby red showing age. Legs thick on the glass suggesting higher alcohol. Bottle notes 14.5%. Aromas and flavours of complex berry, cherry, dried fig, tobacco and old delicious apple that has been sitting out in a room. Cured meat, herbs and flowers. Taste dry medium plus mouthfeel, mouthwatering, soft mature tannins. Alcohol is there but not overpowering. Finishes long and pleasant. I like this wine was very easy to drink a bottle goes fast. This is a nice winter wine in my opinion. Enjoy any season with robust beef or sausage. I had a fire roasted tomatoe pasta with mild and flavourful sausage and mushrooms. 100% tinta del pais (Tempranillo )
Convento San Francisco (2010) is a 100% medium-bodied Tempranillo from the Ribera Del Duero wine region. Fermented in stainless steel, the wine was then aged for 15 months in French (70%) and American oak barrels. - Community Wine Reviews
