Collares Ramisco 1999

Ramisco from Colares is one of my bucket list experiences so anytime I get to share (& it must be shared!)a bottle it’s a special experience indeed. Truffle, aged bark, blackberry must on nose; on palate those notes plus sour cherry concentrate, cassis, & forest leaves all in a light medium body. Did not decant & wondered if mildly corked (vs needing air). I experience these wines as remarkably evocative, & find my self transported to, for example, my English grandfather’s library in London,as a child, which I suppose is another way of saying it’s a”contemplative” wine. I also find the 500ml format an excellent way to sample aged, noble wine like this- the Goldilocks of proportion. I humbly bow to my dear friend for breaking this out. — 6 months ago

Right??@Vin d’Ottawa Hard to find, & the appellation is shrinking. Basically wine grown in the beach…

Random pick, went very well with vegetable marinara cannelloni. Violet and herb nose. Definitely a food wine. Light lingering finish. — 4 months ago

Casa Ferreirinha (Sogrape Vinhos)

Quinta da Leda Douro Red Blend 2018

Could use some more time aging. Nevertheless, excellent wine. The only good thing coming from Portugal right now because the play on the field has been atrocious. — 6 months ago
