Truly outstanding Independence Day after burner. Broke my mid week fast for this Spanish domination.
Ethereal and focused. Still plenty of runway ahead of it.

I was introduced to this wine by @Eric LeMasters - thank you, sir!
Lithe on the nose and palate, dominated by espresso. Laser-focused black cherries and tight tannins, give way to minerality and floral notes. Decadent, with an old-world style. Primo.

With Eric and Teresa from the WNH. Stunning presentation. Lovely nose of cloves, jam compote and cherries. Palate is sublime. All spice, nutmeg, sandalwood and black fruits. Neutral oak and a finish with slightly underripe tannins, which presents in perfect harmony with the acid - outstanding.
A lovely gift from
@Aaron Hamrock. Thank you sooooo much!

Always tough to follow a cote rotie, but this was lovely. Could benefit from more cellar time

That was a fun 10 year old Rioja. Don't get do that often enough.
