Moradillo de Roa. Selección viñedos 2019.
Cena San Valentín en casa, 2023. — a year ago
This is the Artazu Pasos de San Martin Navarra, a varietal Garnacha. A bit sleepy before it gets air, it gradually Benjamin Buttons and develops a terrifically pure nose of kirsch and raspberry ooze, along with crushed rock dust and sandalwood. In the mouth it’s got intense fruit, but is laser-focused and has excellent acids. Zero flab.
Just enough tannin to package it all. Really nice rendition of Grenache. — 2 years ago

It’s the Crianza I was drinking. Expressive nose of red and dark (cherries, plums and blackberries), well handled oak and good acid — a year ago
Well balance, high acidity, red fruits can be kept in the cellar for a few years. — 2 years ago
San Polo Brunello di Montalcino 2010 Riserva top bij konijn en pompoens- sinasappelpuree — 5 months ago
Quite full and together. Surprisingly ready to go - just a short decant evens out the tannins, but in a nice way. First had this wine (2011) with steaks at Bar Nestor at San Sebastián so had this with steaks on the grill. Quite deep fruit. Great acid. Oak has fully receded. Tannins medium minus - not sure there’s any reason to wait. — 10 months ago
Had it at NOC wine tasting and loved it — 2 years ago

Still intact. But it’s too ashy and bitter for me.
Better balance and more suppleness on day 2.
