Very nice Marlborough and not too sharp. Drunk at Bob Bob Ricard for 50 quid a bottle - sells for just over a tenner elsewhere! — 7 years ago

Perfect with #iberico pork. #priorat #garnachalover #garnachapower #garnacha @Ricard Rofes well done. Massive bottle. I love the bottle at the same time as I feel it's not very ecological. Some nice floral notes on the nose and a lovely grainy texture with ripe tannins on the palate. Definitely a wine that can age for decades. — 8 years ago

2013 Sine Qua Non "Jusqu' à l'os" Sta. Rita Hills Grenache.
Back yet again to Manfred’s obsession with French names, this one is most apropos as I just finished watching the French Grand Prix at circuit Paul Ricard (remember the name Charles Leclerc F1 fans). And the wine’s name is spot on because this brooding bruiser of a Grenache is definitely “Bad To The Bone” alright. 79% Grenache from the 11 Confessions Vineyard along with 18% Syrah and 3% Petite Sirah, produced using 89% whole cluster and aged for around 38 months in 51% used oak, 6% new French oak and 43% concrete tanks. In the stem, deep Porsche Aubergine (one of my favorite vintage Porsche colors). Yet another in a long line of SQN “sit, swirl and contemplate” wines, this one has a highly perfumed nose of fresh raspberries, anise, spice box and freshly ground pepper. Full-throttled palate of plums, berries and that pepper, with earthy notes and toasted spices lurking in the background. Ultra-smooth tannins. Long, lingering kiss of a finish. Beautifully structured, this one takes the term “greatly concentrated” to a whole new level. Mr. Krankl definitely has a way with the finicky Grenache varietal. And yet again, his prowess as a master blender extraordinaire is on full display. Conventional wisdom says cellar, but it’s pretty darn good right now. Take a chance. Live a little! — 7 years ago

Pleasantly surprised, courtesy of Pernod Ricard Wines VP of Finance Marcus Black. Paired with my lady's shrimp risotto with side of kale. Not as big as expected - showcases the not-too-ripe pear flavor profile. Not in your face, a touch bashful. Pear skin, apple, oak finish rounds it out. If I would have a season to drink it, it would be late winter into early spring. Drink now. Vintage 2013 tasted Jan 2015. — 10 years ago
(Sung to the tune of ‘Oh What a Night’) Oh what a nose. Late July, 2018. Floral nose and mango, touch of almond, maybe. And that pallet. Almond, nugget, tart unripe mango, fennel pollen, gardenia, guava. Yes, I’ll take more. — 7 years ago

Monastrell potente pero no excesivo. Redondo. Me lo puso Rabasa en Ricard en la Navidad de 2015. — 8 years ago
Produced by Ysios Winery which belongs to Pernod Ricard Bodegas located in Laguradia. Ruby with dark edges from 100% Tempranillo grapes, 30 year-old vines, and aged in French and Hungarian oak. Aromas of black fruit and spice. On the palate blackberry and cherry flavors surrounded by integrated fine tannins. Almost creamy on the finish ending with some cacao and oak notes. — 9 years ago

2008, Domaine Vincent Ricard, Les Trois Chenes, Touraine, Sauvignon Blanc. One of my favorite SB. A little past it's prime but still has lots of primary citrus. Touraine is about a 3 hour drive west of Sancerre. Vincent Ricard has a good lineup of wines. I also like his Gamay/PN blend. — 11 years ago
