Emilio Bulfon

Cianorôs Venezia Giulia Cianorie

Super nerdy producer who revives ancient (and often unnamed, such as in this case) Friuli varieties for production. This was medium + bodied with very slightly cooked red and black fruit, dried herb, smoky charcoal and wet concrete aromas and flavors. Medium tannins and medium-high acid create a structure that shows best with food (grilled duck leg quarters tonight). More substantial that I expected, and while I would have guessed this was Italian had I had it blind, I wouldn’t have had any idea which variety it was. Cool wine for sure - want to try more from this producer. — 4 years ago

Pastrana Single Vineyard Manzanilla Pasada Sanlúcar de Barrameda Palomino Fino

Exceptional single-vineyard Manzanilla. Bone dry with an agile depth and weight. After 12-14 years in the solera this has a nearly endless finish. Aged manchego, chorizo, Andalusian tripe - versatile and dramatically lovely — 8 years ago

La Panesa Fino Especial Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino

A very unusual Fino, aged in the solera system for an average of 15 years (much longer than most Finos, closer to an Amontillado). Deep golden color. Elegant nose with yeasty and nutty aromas. Intense on the palate. Almonds, bitter notes. Long finish — 4 years ago

San Emilio PX Solera Reserva Sherry Pedro Ximénez 1896

NV | I am not thát fond about PX but this Lustau blew me away. Luscious smell, multi layered with dates and currants, very vibrant and elegant. It might be that the combination with an Italian chocolate cake, raspberries and berries contributed to my high appreciation. Happiness ☺️. Fantastic effort, very balanced — 4 years ago

Emilio Ramirez Envinate

Benje Listan Blanco 2017

Place: Tenerife (Canary Island), Spain from Yconde-Daute-Isora appellation.
🇪🇸
Vigneron: Envinate (Cuvee Viticole)
-
Grape: Listán Blanco; Vintage: 2017
-
Color: Deep gold to amber around the rim. Why is the color gold for a young wine? *** I don’t know, maybe skin contact, or oxidative wine making style? @brianmcclinticms @envinatewine
-
Nose: Not floral, not citrus, spices (cinnamon, fennel seeds)
🥂
Taste: Good structure, soft acidity throughout, sweet spice taste, interesting that it’s packing quite a bit of tannins for a white wine from mid-palate through long finish.

La Gitana Manzanilla Sherry

The quintessential Manzanilla, the driest of the dry sherries - hint of saline tang, crushed flint and a bit of olive fruit. High acidity but will balanced. Bone dry. There is no better wine to pair with jamón, anchovies, olives...any and all tapas — 8 years ago

Very Rare Oloroso Emperatriz Eugenia Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino 1556

What you get for the extra $10 (and 250ml less) from Emperatriz Eugenia is massive compared to the entry Don Nuno (both Oloroso). Depth, complexity, something to think about.

Mahogany caramel colored with aromas of sandalwood and sweet dates. Winey sweet palette of dried figs, golden raisins, and burnt toffee.
