Ridiculous Rioja. Has all the goods. Deep ruby color. Wonderful aromas of dark cherries and black fruit with dill, vanilla, some clove and licorice. Leather and semi sweet chocolate. Medium acids and medium tannins but plenty of aging potential. Would be hard to improve though.

Soooo good. Bigger and thicker than your typical high end Rioja. Lengthy finish with lots of darker fruits atypical of Rioja wines.

Whoa! Extremely complex! Rich at decedent yet subtle and lean. Maybe Baryshnikov? @dmselections

An awesome Spanish wine with a big personality, heavier and bolder then your typical Rioja region wine. It’s silky finish makes it a good social and/or even steak wine.

It has complexity with many kinds of herbs etc. derived from 100 years trees. And a bit spicy. Concentrated @3800, 8 street, 180105

This is the Conde 'Conde' bottling, the wine from the vines that are own rootstock, planted in 1874. Darker overall notes, licorice, amazing complexity. That's a thinker.

Tonight we go to Spain! OMG! Heavy oak, cedar and vanilla. Typical cassis with an opulent , sexy finish. Quite a treat and a departure from my Napa ❤️
