House wine at La Casita for 15€. Not a great wine but was ok with our canelloni dishes. I wouldn’t order again if there were other options. At La Casita restaurant in Manilva, Spain. — a year ago

heady at 16°. Great w baby artichokes and Parm and pan seared Branzino.

NOSE: Clearly Rioja. Waxy milk chocolate, baking spices, vanilla. Dried fig.
TASTE: thinner and brighter than expected, more and fresher fruit (pomegranate and cherries, maybe some blackberry), bitter chocolate, baking spices, leather. “Silky” — even glassy. Good. 90. — 18 days ago
