Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2005

Lovely wine. It’s wild that recent releases go for $200+ per bottle. Bought for $40 from vinchicago many years ago, after having at Terete in Haro, Rioja on our honeymoon.

Paired with grilled leg of lamb marinated with garlic, rosemary, thyme, and orange. Opened 4 hours ahead and decanted an hour. Not quite as deep as the last bottle (2+ years ago) but still very delicious. Wonderful example of what well made top quality Rioja can be. Incredible depth on the palate and finish. Medium perfect acid. Just delicious.

For a Priorat wine which I generally don’t care for this was elegant, deep and pure. Very fresh. — 4 months ago

@Lyle Fass not sure if you have tried recent vintages of Laurel by Clos Erasmus but I think Daphne is doing some really lovely stuff with that bottling.

Finca Altamira Mendoza Malbec 2019

Sourced from a vineyard at 1,100 metres in Paraje Altamira, deep Ruby with aromas of black fruits, herb, leather and spice. On the palate flavors of black cherry and blackberries with citrus, leather and spice, fine tannins, well balanced long finish ending with an earthy mineral and tobacco spice character. Nice! — 3 months ago

Méthode Champenoise Carneros Sparkling Blanc de Noirs

8.9

Blanc de Noirs Rosé with 92% PN and 8% Chard. Nice mix of strawberry, raspberry, light citrus, and touch of yeast. Soft generous palate with mellow mousses. Hint of cream soda which makes a bit too sweet for me.
Easy drinking and a crowd-pleaser. Remarkable price for the quality.
