Ube de Ubérrima Miraflores Palomino Fino 2021

This is the first palomino I've had that wasn't barrel aged and fortified into sherry and it was a brilliant pairing with a popping umami dish of shrimp head tartare.
I'm definitely going to look for it back home

45+ minute decant. Dark red color. Has that great barnyard nose I love with meat and spice elements too. There is an interesting tartness when it first hits your tongue, which isn’t good or bad, just different and maybe out of place. Nice balance of cherry fruit and smoke. Medium plus finish. I really enjoyed this!! — 6 years ago

45+ minute decant. Definitely give this baby a lot of air. Dark cherry color. Nose that if I were tasting blind I would have guess Napa. Very fruit forward with dark cherry and oak. On the palate it has more French characteristics of cedar, earth, and smoke. Very enjoyable! Goes great with food. Medium + finish. These ‘05 Bordeaux’s rock!! — 6 years ago

I've been told Spanish wines are a bargain and it's true! Lots of spice from my three favorite grapes - 45% Cab Sauv, 45% Monastrell, and 10% Syrah for the 2018. If I were to name it, I'd call it a Back-End Blend. At $15 a bottle I'll definitely buy it again. — 4 years ago

Château Cos d'Estournel

Saint-Estèphe Red Bordeaux Blend 1966

Another trip around the sun, another “66 Bordeaux. This time it was the Cos d’Estournel. Clearly the best of the “66 vintage I have tasted over the last several years on my birthday. It started with salami and spice on the nose. Mid palate it morphed into this lovely soft earthy red fruit and finished with leather and spice. No hint of the typical Cos pencil lead. This wine still had depth and character. I was surprised by the richness and depth of color. It started to fade after about 45 minutes but wow, were those minutes an amazing wine experience. — 5 years ago
