Seigneur de Maugiron Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2000

Lovely vibrant aromas of garrigue, violet, black cherry, dried cherry, forest floor, blackberry, leather. At 25 years this is still wonderfully fresh with an exceptional finish. Lovely wine — 5 days ago

Viña Gravonia Crianza Rioja Viura 2011

Vintage 2011 | stinky smell, high bitters, flint, tight and stiff. I like the character. Need to taste more Rioja whites to be able to recognize if tasted blind. — a month ago

It’s an atypical & extremely old school version of Rioja White, one of my favorites actually of all time. Not to everyone’s taste because of its oxidized character but curious as to the tight & stiff qualities, given that seems unusual. CUNE makes a Rioja white with a small dosage of sherry that’s fantastic@Peter van den Besselaar

Viña Cubillo Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2015

2015. Wasn’t sure what to pair with this delicious Filipino rice dish with longanisa, chicken, and cumin crab fat butter (likely a wide range of whites, rosés, and lighter reds would work well), but I wanted to try this Spanish Crianza and it was wonderful! The fruit flavors were enough to complement the sweet sausage and the smooth tannins cut through the richness without intensifying the spice. — a month ago

Torrette Petit Rouge Blend 2022

Very light red that drank well chilled, with ripe red fruit and a lingering finish. Def would buy again especially for a good glou or paired with salmon. — 16 days ago

Viña Tondonia Rioja Rosé Blend 2008

Medium copper salmon colour . Slightly waxy dried orange , spiced wild strawberry , touch of resin , sea salt . On the palate this has more fruit , with touches of orange , spiced dried strawberry , roasted nuts, saline seaside hints , balanced acidity and elegant , refined personality. Intense and long , this is probably showing better and more complete than the 2011 I had a few weeks ago . Just starting to get going , but still with a long life ahead. From now and over the next 5 to 10 years perhaps . — a month ago
