Expected this to be past its prime but it’s beautiful. Aromas: floral, spice, sandlewood, cherry tobacco. Fresh black plum on the palate. Good acidity and structure. Wish I had more to share with friends. — 6 years ago

Starting a love affair with vinho verde. All the underripe granny smith and lime zest. Hell yes. — 12 years ago

Combine fruit from 80 year old Tempranillo vines from the northern reaches of Rioja with one of the region’s best winemakers, and what do you get? Answer: a great traditional wine. Torre de Ona is a project of producer Rioja Alta using their northern-most vineyards. Raspberries, cranberries, red fruit, vanilla, coconut dominate the palate with a long layered finish. The long oak aging delivers silky, mature tannins that pull the wine together beautifully. The wine is less ripe with stronger acidity than other Riojas which delivers a unique and delightful character. Very well-made. 2014 vintage on Jun 16, 2019 — 7 years ago

2012. We were pleasantly surprised how much we enjoyed this 10 year old, $10 dark red blend (maybe because our cellar is woefully under represented in dry Portuguese wines). Equal parts Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Tinto Roriz; and Castelão. The fruit was deep but not jammy, smooth tannins, and a little acidity and brett to lift up the finish. — 4 years ago

The Grapes of Immortality as Salvador Dali painted them -- this wine made by Dali's family friends from Penedes is not DO as it's made from Cab Sauv and Petite Syrah varieties. It is though a rich and well balanced fruity wine that is beginning to open up tertiary animal and mushroom aromas. Black currants and cherries lead, it is subtly oaked with spice and some lingering black pepper. Finish, tannins and acidity are medium though. My fruit lead style of red I like, lacks some complexity — 11 years ago

Busted loose the 2008 to assess early drinking potential. A sacrifice of one bottle for five. Honestly, there is something about 2008 Brunellos that are less austere/classic than 2006, but do not possess that tiny bit of burn from the heat of 2007. So, drink earlier (now) or wait for another 4-7 years. 2008s are drinkers and keepers. — 12 years ago

Very funky - perfumed Rhone like nose, but dry tannic body like a Nebbiolo - one of the most interesting wines I've had in years — 12 years ago
