Fermier El Mar 2018 Albarino. Tiniest bobbles, crisp acidity, stone fruits, cold mineral. Clean, nuanced, gentle on the start but opens its aromatics with time. Lovely.

Duemani Cabernet Franc 2007
Rich, concentrated red and black fruit, dry earth, rust iron, italian herbs, topped high alcohol, showing orange color but still has plenty youthful energy. A knockout gorgeous Cabernet Franc paired beautifully with grilled cuore di maiale, pasta wild boar lagu sauce.

Medium (+) acidity with smooth grippy tannins. Promising. Need a few years to see more integration. Hold. Different impression from the elegant 2017. — 4 years ago
Says Farm Chardonnay Private Reserve 2017. Green Apple, lemon, ginger, soft but evident oak, still youthful and puzzled but has aging potential. Juicy fruit, supple, nicely extracted. Oak bitterness comes forward and need integration with time. Ginjyo aroma, bit of green notes. Fun to see in future. Reserve Chardonnay comes from different plot from the standard Chardonnay. Temperature in the vineyard rose in July and August which made the skins thick, but resulted in plenty of extraction. — 4 years ago
