La Penitencia Mencía Blend 2011

Raul Perez, Mencia wizard and human garden gnome, makes some of the most innovative and highly allocated wines from anywhere. I don’t often drink stuff this good. Sometimes you need to be reminded that average and good wines are made for relaxation and enjoyment and that extraordinary wines are art.

La penitencia could be the best thing I’ve ever opened at home. It’s elegant and bootlegged. The front label probably designed in an Internet cafe, the back label looks like it was cut and glued by a five year old. These things make it lovable because it’s so bad and it’s so good.

Pours a browned purple motor oil. The aromas fly. Perfumes of red and blue colored berries, clove, spice, leather. Like a brand new catchers mitt that needs some oil and some love. Feels of plush berry fruit and flavors of prunes and macerated strawberries and boxed raisins that seem to hang around for about as many years as I waited to open this thing.

Tenuta di Fessina

Musmeci Nerello Mascalese 2015

Pale crimson in colour. An earthy, horsey, ultra savoury nose. A light to medium weight savoury palate with dried cherry, earthy mineral flavours and light Sandy tannins. I really loved this Etna Rosso which we picked from the all Italian Wine List at the River Cafe London. Went well with a lovely fresh piece of Turbot. — 2 years ago

Château Lascombes

Margaux Merlot Blend 2000

Désolé de la photo, @delectable a supprimé mon historique et mes vins sauvegardés des 142 dernières semaines...

Tres beau Lascombes 2000, nez bordelais, café, tabac, cigare, une touche florale. En bouche, c’est bien équilibré, quand meme frais et délicat, on retrouve des saveurs similaires, cafe, cedre, tabac. Les tannins sont droit et ca donne une belle structure! J’ai bien aimé, il ne s’est pas rendu au jour

Philip Togni Vineyard

Tanbark Hill Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Super beau en ce moment. Au nez, tabac, cafe, epices et fruits noirs. Dans le verre le vin montre une légère évolution, en bouche c’est tres bien l’elevage est bien assimile, tabac, cuir, eucalyptus, mine de crayon. Tres proche du profil bordelais mais un petit coté vanillé qui nous dit clairement que nous sommes à Napa... — 3 years ago
