Bastarda Merenzao 2021

Another year, another banging Bastarda! A true red wine kabinett. Light-footed, complex, and super energetic. The nose was so floral and spicy. I got notes of roses, pepper, curry leaves, cloves, sour cherries, and hints of balasmic character. The palate was like drinking salty pomegranate and cherry juice, with hints of dried herbs. Super light, yet intense. Finishes very chalky and long. I love this wine a lot, but there were others on the table that laughed at it. One for the enthusiasts. Their loss, my win. Haha. — 7 days ago

@Aaron Tan I love wines that can polarize and from your comment it sounds like this fits the bill. Will be on the lookout for it!

@Ira Schwartz A hommage to when Burgs were rosé-like. Haha. At least that was my pitch for ot on the table.

@Ira Schwartz Definitely get your hands on some if you can. They’re some of the most ethereal wines out of Spain.

I love the Portuguese. Upon first pour, the wine captivates with its deep ruby color, hinting at the complexity and depth within. The nose is immediately greeted with an intoxicating bouquet of dark fruits—ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries—interwoven with subtle notes of vanilla, spice, and a whisper of oak. — a month ago
