€47 op de Goyer. Bordeaux achtige tempranillo — 11 days ago
Color cereza de capa media alta, con ribetes ocres.
Vino en el que predomina la madera sobre la fruta. Frutos rojos en compota y, sobre todo, tabaco, chocolate, cuero y café. Café sobre todo. Está madera se intensifica una vez el vino se oxida un poco.
En boca cacao y café. Acidez media. Taninos suaves y redondos. Cuerpo medio.
Suave al paladar, sedoso, amable.
Muy buena elección para quien disfrute de los vinos donde se note la madera. — 2 months ago

Taken to The Pocket in Carmel. Nice dark murky tawny color, opaque. Black fruit nose including notes of blackberries and blueberries, gravel stone, mocha, some menthol and some wood. Tannins are resolved, leaving silky fruit. In a good drinking window. — a month ago

Sixth and final round of tasting and we all went 0-3 on the reds. This one was so maddeningly obvious. The dill!
Deep ruby color that is thick as tar, there is an enormous amount of vanilla and jammy over-ripened black fruit. Lacking some of the floral notes I’d expect in. Reserva, it makes up for it with eucalyptus and leather, a touch of mint, and plenty of balsamic. There’s also an earthy mushroom thing happening. Moderate tannins, low acids. Plenty of alcohol.

have to say it again. i love whites from northern spain. there is magic there.
this one is a blend of viura, malvasia and garnacha. and surely, malvasia is doing the job. wonderful nose i could never forget, so smooth, so sweet, so gentle… with butter, melon, cream and almond scents.
then it comes to my mouth and i can discover apricot, pear, a bit of smoke, surely melon and some tropical flavors.
like it very much. — 23 days ago
So enjoyable! You get a lot of red fruit from the rioja but some tannins and smokiness from the Cab Sav blended in. @ABaC in Barcelona with grilled Guinea fowl. — 2 months ago
