Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2011

You're not 40 every day and I wanted a special wine to celebrate that special day. Fortunately the wine bar / open kitchen restaurant we went to had that special wine, amongst 400 references, that I had been desperate to taste for a long while. I didn't take notes so it's all from memory, but the nose is what I liked the most. Coconut notes, leather, cherries, coffee... I spent probably 15 minutes in total smelling that wine. The palate was great with some acid drive, some matter but not in an overwhelming way, some gentle, well integrated tannins in the rear, before a long finish with savoury notes, red fruits, coconut and that gentle grainy tannic layer. A great experience to top up a day to remember.
Oh and if you happen to be in Warsaw, Poland and be looking for a great wine place, make sure to check our Kontakt - wino & bistro.

Clos Mogador

Priorat Red Blend 2015

Rev 329

Dedicating this review to @lawyerdrummer on Instagram who’s on tour away from his kids & just dedicated his first Clos Mogador to me on Vivino “Rock and Roll Wino” 🤗
.
Latest vintage of one of my favourite Priorats we grabbed in 🇪🇸 for €69 (£74 in 🇬🇧) & it’s sure loaded with potential 😉 Good but give 5-10 years & it’s a 😈 that will reward big time 😍 I still think the 2013 has an edge 😎 the 2015 needs more time for minerality to ease 👍 opens to a typical choc cherry gateaux 😋

📍 Clos Mogador 2015

🏵 94-95 points w/ more penitential aged

🍇 45% Grenache, 29% Carignan, 16% Syrah & 10% Cabernet Sauvignon
