Marqués de Murrieta

Castillo Ygay Reserva Especial Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1925

Worried this was corked but it's blown off. Amazingly youthful for a near 100 year old wine- probably reconditioned. Resolved dark wood and sour cherry. Very pretty and persistent. Hours later this has exploded. Soft and gorgeous. No issues. Pure joy. — 9 years ago

not bad at all - interesting that there's this autolytic quality sitting on top of a fresh green apple - usually I don't see such a fresh quality in cava. — 11 years ago

Bodegas Peñafiel

Reserva Miros de Ribera Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2009

The 2009 vintage is 100% Tempranillo and 14%ABV. From Ribera del Duero DO and vinified Crianza style with 15 months bottle aging subsequent to 1.5 years in French Oak barrels. This wine is elegant and integrated at only 7 years since fruit cultivation. This wine is rich and luscious with deep red fruit of cherry and red berry, baking spice, olive brine, and a hint of fresh cut spruce tips. This wine would be a perfect accompaniment for a Canadian Christmas tree ritual or a festive holiday evening dinner party with braised beef AAA pot roast or rack of lamb and braised root vegetables. With well balanced fruit, medium acidity and medium tannins this wine brings complex aromatics as well as refined mouthfeel of finesse to a structured backbone and elegant minerality. With persistence of briny green olives, deep ripe red berry and spice, this wine has a long finish which keeps giving back. Giving a festive Canadian twist, recommend pairing with Schwartz Montreal Smoked Meat brisket and Kosher pickles. — 10 years ago
