I love the stone fruit in Stellenbosch Chenin Blanc. White pepper, unripe pineapple, and oddly a hint of petrol. This paired nicely with Chilean Sea Bass.

Quite nice Lebanese Bordeaux blend. Spicy red fruit, white pepper, saline.

Lemon curds, green apple, and meringue on the nose. Lemon and egg whites with a slight minerality on the palate.

So I commented on this earlier. It's better this time. My final two bottles. These are perfectly aged Riojas. Leather, rare meats, cedar, fading licorice on the nose. The palate is perfect tonight. Smooth, silky. To me, this is the epitome of "Peak". If you can get this, buy it and drink it. Try @WineAccess.

Wow, this is interesting coming from the illustrious Far Niente. Nice round, chewy, cab. Approachble, 40 bucks. Quite the sweet spot. I will rebuy and put it through my full process. Alc comes across a bit hot. But otherwise, very good.

Deep bruised red intense color. Vanilla, toasted nuts prevail on the nose. The palate is red berries, vanilla, and mild oak. While it sounds "new", it's quite enjoyable. With the medium plus alcohol and medium plus acidity, and tight tannins, the potential for this is tremendous. You can certainly drink this now, and I will be tempted with my other 5 bottles, but I bet this can improve by 20% over the next several years.

A mid-tier Muga slot. Deep purple in color, sage, blackberry, new leather, mild vanilla. Medium + body, alc and tannins, medium acidity. Dry of course. Long finish. Tertiary flavors are not yet pronounced. Would be fabulous with ribeye, but tonight it's paired with cheeses and Serrano ham.

Quite nice. Rustic, starting to mellow.

Smooth. Nicely refined at such an early age. Cherry, tobacco, new leather on the nose and palate. Medium acidity. Medium plus tannins. Dry. Approachable and delicious now.
