Off the list at River Cafe. Deep tawny color, opaque. Nice meaty nose. Notes of black cherry, smoked meats, dark earth and some mocha. Paired perfectly with the meat we had.

Just keeps getting better. Only a short decant for a perfect steak partner. Lithe, sweet acidity and beautifully dry finish all covered in maraschino cherry. Years to go.

Part 6, day 2. No notes. A bigger Rioja expression than Rioja Alta drunk earlier, & better

A blend of 80% Tempranillo, and the rest Grenache, Mazuelo and Graciano. Deep Ruby with ripe berry fruits, herbs and spice, aged for 3 years in oak and another 3 years in the bottle before release, Wow! On the palate ripe cherry, blackberries and ample dried fruits, well integrated oak and acidity with pepper, tobacco, toast oak and vanilla. Smooth with fine tannins and mineral notes, complex, long ending with earthy tones. Outstanding! Will continue to age.

A lovely bold wine. Rich with tannin and older cherry fruit. Nose is a hint of cedar and a tobacco smoke finish. Very distinct finish with a hint of bitterness. Hits the tongue with a dried fruit berry finish which is long lasting.

Sep 30th, 2020Faint American oak tipped me off. Lots of Brett but still has balancing fruit. Gassy. Active in the bottle. Don’t store.

Ripe black cherry, plum, medium tannins, medium minus acid, tasty wine.
