Valdespino

Viejo C.P. Macharnudo Vineyard Palo Cortado Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

Such an amazing wine.
This fino one day decides to not be, loses it flor and has a flirt with Amontillado..

Upon changes. Some petrol.
P: Feels a bit dying upon entry, sharp and luxuriously sapient and enveloping, leather shoes, oils that will always provide mystery.Caramel, Chalk, treacle…cobblestones.A beautiful thing to imbibe. 20°

Heredity Vineyard Pinot Noir 2015

Light, refreshing, numbs the tongue. Flirt forward, peach? — 4 years ago

Paetra

Yamhill-Carlton District Riesling 2018

Finally made my Quarantine Ragu for bae. Experimented with Brussels sprouts today and ended making a peach and red pepper dressing with an Aleppo pepper sauce. Not too shabby.

Grassy, the freshness of raw parsley and chives.

Primary note of pears. Solid brightness and sweetness flirt with each other at the right levels.

Rewatching La La Land with bae, and it’s just as good the second time around.

Equipo Navazos

La Bota de Fino 91 Macharnudo Alto Palomino Fino

🍇Equipo Navazos, one of the leading stars in the rebirth of handcraft Sherry. The bota de Fino 91 is stunning with a concentration that is rarely seen in the fino category. Aged for an average 10 years gives it a sensation that the flor has started to fade quite a bit as the wine is almost starting to flirt with an amontillado in its characters. Serve it at 10 degrees and let it rise to 12-14 degrees while you enjoy this piece of art.

👃Pronounced intense, dense and very complex aromas, remarkably aromatic and round edged for being classified as a fino. Bruised apples, orange zest, sourdough, green olives, and Brazil nuts with a salty, iodine and seaweed character on the lead guitar.
Bone dry palate with pronounced flavour intensity. The salty mineral backbone brings freshness and tension through the dense mid palate through a long expansive and chalky finish.
Meditative.

Riserva Cilento Aglianico 2012

Lyle Fass
9.7

Aglianico as Musigny. This shit is bananas. It is a thing of great beauty. The nose is the perfect melange of echoes of elite Pinot Noir (Musigny comes to mind) but firmly rooted in the soul of Campanian Aglianico. It tows this line brilliantly. As Burgundian as the most elite Barolo but in a different way. De Vogue Musigny comes to mind.

Stunning bing cherry, and an elite florality. Dizzying in its complexity and relentlessness. This is some nose. 9.8. I can’t think if I’ve ever smelled a better aglianico. A true Burgundian interpretation. The nose is just a knockout. The palate has so much sweet, dark aglianico fruit and unreal sweetness but offset by this profound noble minerality. The level of dry extract is so impressive and as big a wine as this is it never feels heavy. Power with finesse. Both elite. The finish is just forever. It truly never ends. This will improve for 20+ years and I imagine it could flirt with perfection one day. No wonder this is on every important Michelin starred restaurant’s wine list in Italy.

Funk Zone

Santa Barbara County Rosé Grenache Syrah 2019

This bottle was left at my birthday picnic, so we took it home not thinking much of it.

Roses, gummy bears, and strawberries.

Wow, unexpectedly great. Always a wonderful feeling when you’re not expecting anything.

Blood oranges flirt with rose petals, and threesome with grapefruit gummy bears to make a tart, refreshing, savory, and slightly pleasingly astringent autumn wine.
