Olivier Rivière

Losares Rioja Garnacha Blend 2013

A new Rioja for me I grabbed in Spain from @gabymeetswine @vilaviniteca @ €105 & whilst nice I think it’s overpriced as you get just as good quality in many £40-£50 Rioja but that said it’s nice 😉 & quite unusually earthy & mineral laden 😁 leave 5 years 👍

📍 Olivier Riviere Losares 2013 Rioja

🏵 92-93 points

🍇 Mazuela, Graciano & Tempranillo

🍷 Deep dark ruby

👃 Soggy earth, gravel, minerals & pencil lead through muted dark cherry w/ a light smokey soaked oak tone, red currant, balsamic & herbs then the oak really pushed through on steroids after a couple of hours

👄 Med body of red & dark cherry in balsamic w/ cocoa & minerals galore w/ a touch of blackberry

🎯 Med+ dry tannic red & dark cherry/berry cocoa mineral earthy linger w/ an okay follow through

Château Vieux Rivière

Lalande de Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

At last a wine that is not the remains of my Champagne weekend. It’s a smidge green and tannic. I wish I’d saved it for a few years. This is potent and interesting and I think I should have just given it at least three years. D’oh. Maybe a day or so of being open will help because the potential on this is huge given fruit, tannins and acid. — 6 years ago

Ganko Rioja 2015

Спелая вишня, припущенная красная слива, красная смородина, ежевика, черника, ревень, мята, сухая земля, марганцовка, горькая корица. Среднее, подвижное тело с живой кислотностью и шелковой, сочной текстурой в рамке из ещё очень молодых, но отшлифованных танинов. Компактно и собранно, но не закрыто; с выраженной минеральностью; пока первично, но с хорошей глубиной и ощутимым потенциалом. Алкоголь даёт мягкое тепло, но не выжигает рецепторы; уравновешивающая его ментольная свежесть естественна и органична. Суровый, но верный баланс. Нужно ждать. — 6 years ago

El Cadastro Arlanza Tempranillo Grenache

Typical scent of vanilla, baking spice, dill, fruit, and red fruit. Lots of energy on the palate, a little smokey character, earthiness, and spice. Mineral finish. Rambunctious, but good. I like it! — 6 years ago

Goutorbe-Bouillot

Reflets de Riviere Brut Damery Champagne Blend

Goutorbe-Bouillot Reflets de Rivière Brut, Champagne. Blend of 60% Meunière, 20%Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay from vines near the village of Damery. Very traditional , fruity and complex , yet still has good acidity and freshness. I can imagine it will develop some more with age. Very enjoyable wine. Used it to wash down it a turkey burger. #champagne #frenchwhitewine #goutorbe-bouillon #villageofdamery #refletsderiviere #nicholaspearce #growerschampagne #nonvintagechampagne #champagneanytime — 6 years ago
