Lot C-91 Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

Dark ruby color. Aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, black currants/cherries, purple flowers and menthol. Same dark fruits on the palate with additional notes of black olives, tobacco, roasted herbs and black pepper. Meaty texture and a beautiful long and earthy finish. Medium-plus body and rustic/chewy tannins. Complex, concentrated and rich. Excellent! Thanks for sharing James W. — 11 days ago

En Magnum. A rare treat. Ethereal body and elevated mid-palate. Feminine, if that’s possible. Wow. — 2 months ago

Viña Gravonia Crianza Rioja Viura 2015

Popped and poured; enjoyed a single glass from a bottle that had been opened for over an hour. The 2015 “Gravonia” pours a deep straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose, the wine is developing with charming oxidative notes of black lemon, honeydew, tumeric, and nuts. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with a sort of waxy texture. Distinctive and delicious. Damn, I love these wines. Drink now through 2035. — 10 days ago

Wow. Yiu are on a roll!!! Have to see if I can find this Riesling. We fell in love with it when we were in Mosel and got exposed Riesling we didn’t even know existed.

Viña Tondonia Rioja Rosé Blend 2010

Popped and poured into a porron. The ultimate baller birthday move. The 2010 Rosado pours a rose gold color; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. Some slight signs of sediment in the bottle. On the nose the wine is developing with notes of red cherry, blood orange, grapefruit, apricot, nuts, dried flowers and just a hint of lightly toasted coconut. On the palate, the wine is dry with low tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long with remarkable, creamy texture and substantial (but not overbearing) weight. To my palate, this has hardly aged since my last experience in 2021. If anything, it has only gained in character and significance. World class is every sense of the term. Drink now through 2035. Thank you for the birthday bottle Matt! — a month ago
