Abiatu 2017 de Imanol Garay @imanolgaray. 95% #tannat y 5% #cabernetfranc. 18 meses de crianza en barricas de 228 l y ánforas de arenisca. Madiran. Francia. 14% vol.
Impresionante vista picota de capa media-alta con ribete carmesí. Lágrima fina y densa que tinta la copa.
Aromas que necesitan de aireación para desplegar un abanico cuyo protagonista es el aporte mineral de pedernal que se ve acompañado por sensaciones de fruta roja y negra (arándanos), recuerdos de hoja de tabaco y toques balsámicos.
Ataque inicial picante con un carbónico sutil. Muy buena acidez. Tanino rugoso y sensaciones sedosas. Fresco, complejo y de buen recorrido. Adictivo.
Vino personal de Imanol Garay al que hay que acercarse con la mente abierta y huyendo de estereotipos.
A mi, personalmente, me ha encantado, aunque le queda recorrido y, quizás, dar aún lo mejor de sí con más tiempo.

#Mondaynight wine #StGabriel #Riesling 2012 #Rheinhessen
Off-dry, dissolved CO2, lifted white floral, with pungent and vibrant meyer lemon and minerality, and a tady waxy on the palate.

The 2012 Araujo ‘Altagracia Estate’ Proprietary Red Napa Valley Technical Director Helene Mingot notes “This Altagracia is a generous wine reflecting the exceptional quality of the vintage. The 2012 vintage is balanced and harmonious, offering beautiful ripeness with no excess. The wine reflects the character of the eastern parcels of the Eisele Vineyard, and its fine-grained tannins provide a perfect foil for the intensity and richness of the layered fruit.” 71% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc, 6% Merlot, 4% Malbec. This is without a doubt the best altagracia made to date! Anyone lucky enough to have tasted this wine knows what were talking about. #araujo #altagracia #propred #napa #winelover #instawine #wine #wino #vino #cheers — 9 years ago

2012 Rochioli Russian River Valley Pinot Noir

A great combination of bright red fruit and spice notes. Vibrant, classy California Russian Valley pinot noir. Went well with Japanese sukiyaki.

カリピノらしい果実感と様々なスパイスが絶妙なコンビネーションで味わえるピノノワールでした。果実感の強いカリピノとすき焼きとの相性も抜群でした。

#itsaSicilianmessage #Christmaswine #MtEtna #NarelloMascalese #MtEtnaSicily #Graci 2013 the nose exudes warm violets, blackberries, coffee bean, cedar, citrus rind & charred earth. Nice & stinky. The palate is lean, a bit crisp & smoky, crushed violets, horse saddle, leather, savory herb, black cranberry and slightly bitter, dark and lasting finish. Still a baby! #sommlife #somm #sommelier #instawine #Sicilianwine #Italianwine #Sicily #wineofthenight

Obsidian Ridge Half Mile 2640' Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Found a gem. A deep, dark purple color in the glass. Dense, dark fruits with great complexity and mouthfeel. Velvety smooth texture. Love it.

お宝ワインに遭遇。濃い深紫色、濃厚なフルーツ感、酸とタンニンの絶妙なバランス、複雑な味わいと舌触りを持つ素敵なワインでした。

Different from what I am used to, but then perhaps I really need to taste a lot more #Viognier I guess this one may take some time to grow on me.
Floral, fresh pear, kiwi, and honeysuckle. #Guigal #CotesduRhone

The 2013 David Arthur Chardonnay Napa Valley is a slight green-golden hue offers bright and illuminated aromas of kiwi, Asian pear and Golden delicious apple, followed by white peach, citrus blossom and light hints of toasted almonds. The palate is soft, plush and full throttle with layers of citrus, candied apple, poached pear. The finish projects a subtle minerality. #davidarthur #chardonnay #napa #winelover #winespectrum #wine #wino #vino #cheers #instawine — 9 years ago
