Going to need to hold these for a few more years, the 2019 still needs some time.

Graphite dominates the palate. Lots of tobacco and vanilla too. The fruit just isn’t there. Tannins are super strong, lots of English breakfast. Medium acidity. It’s really tasty, but I suggest letting it rest. — 4 days ago

Outrageously good and ready to drink now (late 2024) and still has time. Dark ruby color with a bounty of aromas that blast out of the glass. Earth and fruit. Dark chocolate, eucalyptus, vanilla bean, oak and lots of baking spices bleed together with rich cassis, blackberries, and dark cherries. It’s not super tight, well integrated tannins and strong but not overbearing acid structure. It is a big wine but not overwhelmingly so. — 18 days ago

Syrah rose from outside Casablanca. You think it might be more robust but it’s a pretty light and unimposing red. Not much acidity, light bodied. Crushed strawberries and raspberries. — 2 months ago

Pale pink, almost peach colored. Simple and light to match the colors, not too much going on, mostly raspberry. Otherwise nondescript.

50% Tempranillo , 30% Viura , 20% Garnacha. — 3 months ago

Beautiful & unique Chardonnay today. This one comes from outside Traiguen in Malleco. I’m not super familiar with Chilean chards so not a lot to compare too. What I’m getting is a light, yet brilliant, yellow color with aromatics that are reminiscent of slight reduction - flint and gunsmoke. It does blow off leaving behind lime and banana peel, and a small touch of vanilla. It’s bone dry, strong acidity and medium+ body. Some green notes, minerally, not much fruit. Big time finish which makes it a nice long sipper. — 12 days ago

Gorgeous Meunier-driven champagne. 80% red. Has some nice nutty aromas reminiscent of toasted almonds with brioche, cream, and green apple all making appearances. Lovely bubbles. More green apple and bright citrus flavors. — a month ago

Such a nice drinking wine with strong dynamic flavors and not breaking the bank. Oiled leather and plums jump right out. Medium bodied and medium tannins. Some jammy fruits and tobacco. Great blend. — 2 months ago

Fun dessert wine of 35% cherry juice and 65% La Crima do Morro d’Alba. The cherry-ness is slightly overwhelming on the nose but there are some other scents like maple syrup and jam that give it some complexity. Low amount of tannins. Medium acidity. Very sweet but not cloying. It’s actually light enough to sip on for awhile but does eventually get tiresome.

Found this online: “The production is actually quite complicated, as two varieties of cherries are processed separately with half of them being dried in the sun for 40 days.

Grape wine from the current vintage is used as a base wine, but the fermented cherries are not pressed. Rather, a ripasso process is employed with some wine from the previous vintage. Sour cherries are then also utilized with residual sweetness retained.” — 14 days ago

100% Moroccan Cabernet. Not known for their wine making, and this is supposedly an exemplar producer. Still, not impressed. Almost no structure, lacking any acid or tannins. Light bodied and fruit forward, but not too much complexity. I’m glad to have tried it, but wouldn’t bother again. — 2 months ago
