Fernandez de Manzanos

Rioja TEMPRANILLO BLEND 1961

#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with wide brick rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red currants, cherries, earth, black coffee, licorice, oak, black tea, tobacco leaf, herbs and light black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 63 year old Tempranillo from Rioja is still drinking nicely, although obviously not at its peak.

Soft and elegant with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and elegant. Tangy and interesting.

Still has enough fruits in it to last another 10 years. Not showing as much complexity as I expected, but it's always nice to try these kind of old wines.

I enjoyed it very much, all by itself.

A blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha. Aged in French oak barrels for 3 years. Recorcked by the winery a few years ago. Only 400 bottles made.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$120.

Relentless Napa Valley Syrah Petite Sirah 2018

Shafer Winemaker Elias Fernandez & his “relentless” pursuit of quality. A blend of 76% Syrah & 24% Petite Sirah, shows a lush & rich wine. Aged for 30 months, 100% new French oak, deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruit, smoke and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry, plum & blueberry with notes of vanilla, licorice and smoke. Fine silky tannins, long finish, great mouthfeel ending with fruit, herbs and spice. One of the best Syrah’s tasted. Will age well! — 4 months ago

Slightly carbonic but delicious. Ripening pineapple, white stone fruit and an unfiltered appearance… My friend Elias Fernandez at Shafer loves this one as well… @Paul T- Huntington Beach @Shay A @Stanley Barrios @Shauna Summers @Jim Trobaugh @Neal Schaffer @Ian Blackburn @Warren Sapp — a year ago

@Shay A yes just a slight carbonic touch. Not champagne worthy but a little tingle on the palate…

Ah, I thought you meant carbonic via fermentation (as in carbonic maceration). Would have found that quite unique since most whites don’t go through that!

Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2014

This says Reserva.
I didn’t know.
But… that’s some Spanish old vine Tempranillo w French barrique aging(24 mo.) hell, you could have left it in there another 24.
N: Really smells like dirt and tobacco. Black plums way back there. A Big, black nose of reined in funk.
P: Tannin city, charcoal, prunes, really begs for protein, skillfully done.
Next time, 2hrs in a decanter.
Thanks @ Garagiste.

Bovale Utiel-Requena Old Vines Bobal 2019

Nicely made and exuding character. Nose has bright, deep plummy fruit, along with nice, fragrant spice and a wisp of smoke. Mouthfilling, pure fruit on the palate, with a light touch, finish turns savory and shows lots of stony minerality. Nice acids and a bit of soft, chalky tannin comes out at the end. Terrific value. — 2 years ago

Bovale Bobal Rosé 2018

Really lovely fruit — peach, tangerine skin and cherries, and melon — with dried herbs on the finish. Really great with tikka masala.
