La Bruja Avería Rozas de Puerto Real Grenache 2015

To me good wine stands out from average wine when I can sense three things from it: time, place and intention.
This rustic garnacha clearly carries these three indices.
The top layer of smell is rustic- farm, soil. Sticking my nose in the glass I'm greeted with a maraschino liquor soaked cherry wood barrel.
The palate tells me it's been maturing and mellowing for three quarters of a decade - this is mature but eagerly waiting to be opened. There aren't layers to this- it's straight forward, direct, open and expressive. Elegant in it's simplicity but certainly not posh. Dry, but very much alive, like the garrigues that was once rooted where this vineyard now stands. This is central Spain.

I love the Rhône’s, esp the old vines.

Bodegas Roda

Sela Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2019

A fine vintage, probably the best in Rioja since 2001. Young. Exuberant nose of dark ripe cherries, plums and garrigues. Orange peel and coffee pop up later. Vibrant mouthfill, length, to lay down for a couple of years, at least. — 2 years ago

Garrigues Vacqueyras Red Rhône Blend 2017

Fire pit wine: befits my smoke infused clothes. Bouquet-garni, soft palate of black cherries, 13.5% holds it all together. Quite delicious & only intensifies with air. — 4 years ago
