Oloroso Pata de Gallina Sherry

Interesting bottle of Oloroso from the Lustau Almacenista bottlings, intense notes of dates and walnuts, while being bone dry, but it really comes to the fore with a bit of tapas, which softens and sweetens the sherry. Highly complex and fantastic to drink. — 8 years ago

Malleolus de Sanchomartin Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2005

8 hours or so decanted, double decanted, brought this around nicely. Again another wine this evening that only got better. Big, bold tempranillo that has some resolved, velvety tannin of a wine of 15+ years but the fruit of wine maybe 7-8 years old...mostly primary, but deep. — 4 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

Palo Cortado Península Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Seco Dry Palomino Fino

Dark amber, very dry, high acidity, light-medium bodied. Toasted almonds, bitter green olives, a little oily, saline finish. You could probably drink this with just about any food and be in a good place. — 5 years ago

Venezie IGT Forgiarìn 2016

This is really good. A little sour with espresso bitterness, but a cashmere mouthfeel and nice lingering finish. Not a ton of fruit, gives the aroma of an older wine despite being a youngish vintage. — 6 years ago

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

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 — 5 years ago

Lugana Mandolara Turbiana 2016

Very nice slightly richer Lugana. Almonds, white flowers and fruit. Balanced with sneaky concentration. Had this with a selection of Sushis and it worked nicely with most of them. Think this would go nicely with Risotto — 8 years ago
