Marqués de Murrieta
Reserva Finca Ygay Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1994
Happy memories, as I remember drinking this vintage in Spain when it was only 6-7 years old. Everything I hope for in a Rioja though this one possibly past its peak? — 12 years ago
Agro de Bazán
Granbazan Etiqueta Ambar Rías Baixas Albariño
Just what you want from an Albariño. Straw colour, floral but acidic. Like a nice Riesling. — 11 years ago
Edmeades
Mendocino County Zinfandel 2009
OMG the alcohol!! — 12 years ago
Delicious, and with more dimensions than we could reasonably expected for a cheapish bottle, but really at 15.5% the alcohol is overwhelming and dominates the flavour and the experience.

Coleccion Privada Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2005
Just what I was after to go with my roast beef! — 12 years ago
R. López de Heredia
Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1973
Older than me, the colour of coca cola, and fairly horrible for the first glass or so. Revealed lovely vintage Rioja charms as it opened up. Very memorable for not much money. — 12 years ago
