Went to a Majestic tasting the other day and we usually end up liking a couple of wines to add to 'the list’ We both like Douro and Duero reds and this was our favourite despite a couple pouring their taster down the sink!? https://www.majestic.co.uk/wines/condado-de-oriza-reserva-14851
and on the back of a mention in the Guardian wine section I took a trip to Lidl for a bottle of this:
Same producer Pagos Del Rey and while not a Reserva it would appear to have some time in oak as the label refers to 270 days ageing.
it’s likely based on one of these wines https://www.pagosdelrey.com/en/wines/?_region=do-ribera-del-duero
will see how they compare but the Majestic is a bargain IMHO
