Saliza Amaretto

W. & J. Graham's

Aged 10 Years Tawny Port Blend

Complex right after uncorking and gets better. Consistently good. Great value. Buttery in mouth. Slight amaretto aroma
with fig,raisin, ripe banana, toffee, hazelnut, hint of orange peel in nose and palate.

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

Elegant as all get out. I can’t get over Palo Cortado, even with its shady requirement to be called “Palo Cortado”—pretty sure some are no more accidental “failed Finos” than chocolate chip cookies were a ‘whoops I dropped chocolate in the dough’—but that matters not. Mixed nuts and lemon and amaretto don’t sound like things I’d want to consume all at once but they are elements of this wine I love all at once. — 3 years ago

This is my first time with this wine so can’t say for sure but in general I’m an acid fiend and can only drink low acid whites if the minerals are searing. This didn’t feel particularly low acid for rhone, though by no means high… but it’s the bracing, smoky minerals that really carried it for me. Maybe vintage variation or a progression in winemaking? I’d def say worth trying the 2019.

La Rioja Alta

Viña Ardanza Reserva Especial Tempranillo Blend 2001

In a perfect spot. Chestnut, truffle, forest floor, potpourri and dried cherry and strawberry on the nose. Plenty of beautiful and lively fruit on the palate. Red berries, amaretto, roasted meat, toasted cocoa and earth. More minty and herbal on day two, but hasn’t faded a bit. One of the finest aged bottles I’ve had- really exquisite. This bottle has special meaning for me because it is one of the first wines I ever bought intentionally to cellar. Two bottles left. — 2 years ago

Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah 2018

Sweet and concentrated. Really wonderful syrah character with pipe tobacco, amaretto and cherry cobbler. Only complaint is this is not very refreshing. Very extracted and a mouth stainer. — 3 years ago
