200 Monges Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

Expressive nose, a bit reduced at first, then on ti ripe cherries, cocoa, liquorice , plums. Ample bodied, son of a dry and hot vintage, acidity that holds the alcohol and hood length and youth for a 2012. Remarkable, unexpected village, Albelda, must be the high land on the way to Clavijo. — 2 months ago

Cristal Brut Champagne Chardonnay Pinot Noir Blend 2004

Light straw colour . Pretty mineral and focused on the palate . Linear with lemon oil , touch of brioche and white flowers . Quite intense on the palate with real focus , very fresh acidity but with enough body to cover . This tastes very young really and probably needs more time to be at peak . Wait another 5 years perhaps and will probably last another 10-15 — 2 months ago

Tettimorra Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Absolutely a knockout. Last had almost 2 years ago and the time has been good. Decanted 1.5 hours, still fairly primary - would be a delicious one to age more, but so it goes. Aromatically incredible. So deep on the palate with that perfect refreshing note on the finish. Excellent pairing with fennel rubbed roast chicken, mushrooms cooked in the chicken fat, and oven fries with a tarragon aioli. — 3 months ago

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2017

Dark violet-red color with aromas of fruit, spices and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, blueberry and plum with cacao, vanilla and black pepper. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and herb mineral character. Drinking ok now! — 2 months ago

Carvalhas Douro Touriga Nacional - Touriga Franca Blend 2015

My sister would rate it a 10 but she’s also drank most of the bottle so I’m gonna go with a 9.2 because she is generally reliable but ya know…wine! — 3 months ago
