Tasting notes:

Viña Pomal is the iconic brand ofBodegas Bilbaínas. Founded in 1901and based in the centre of Haro, thewinery is late Victorian in style andclassic in its welcoming of visitors.Deep ruby-cherry in hue, the wineexhibits dark cherry and bramblefruits with cigar box overtones. Sweetfruited,though dry, the palate isconcentrated, with dark cherry supportedby lively acidity and supple woodtannins, accented by cinnamon andallspice. With a lingering finish, this is a‘wow’ wine to pair with Moroccancouscous and savoury lamb.(Patricia Stefanowicz MW)
