A good rioja kind of expensive $45 — 3 months ago
Color of dried orange peel or Hot Tamales. Beautiful little firecracker.
Smells oxidized, though crisp in the mouth. A duality of candy and fresh fruit, like biting into a caramel apple. Deep, and whole, and very appley indeed. Also dried apricots and butterscotch and fresh peach.
A deep, complex wine that could go the million and one directions of a human mind. — 4 months ago
Beautiful Spanish maker of more than a century that may have the best price/value relationship of any winemaker. — 5 days ago
Raspberries on the nose and a bit of earth and spice, tart on the palate with lovely acidity for 12 years, a balance of fruit and earth, soft tannins. Basque Country, here we come!! — 3 months ago
No notes. A bit of age on this one. Always a success for a slightly oaked white bordeaux. Tangy notes and some structure. Cool stuff. — 4 months ago
Not a strong fragrance…
Drinks a bit tart/sour, with flavors of spice and tart fruit. — 2 months ago
2024 June. Totally classic Rioja, in a light-on-its-feet but layered style; I also felt this was a bit fleshier and juicier than the last bottle. — 4 months ago

Another great one that was suave, polished, showing a perfumed nose of dark cherry, berry fruits with notes of licorice, spice, crushed rock mineral, graphite, tobacco & violets. — 5 days ago
