My Arrow and Branch cherry was broken last week with a very nice one. I think my impression was that those wines are probably all a little locked up!

Texas Tannat 2010

2010 vintage that is drinking really well. Dark fruit, leather, pepper with the robust tannic finish you expect from Tannat. Proof this varietal is a hit in Texas and that you shouldn't be afraid to try a lone star state bottle — 9 years ago

Silvano Follador

Superiore di Cartizze Nature Valdobbiadene Brut Prosecco 2010

It is a Prosecco Superiore Brut who does ageing on the yeasts at the end of secondary fermentation in the bottle (Metodo Classico). My dear friend Silvano Follador firmly believes to the hig potential of secondary fermentation with disgorging instead of Charmat or "sur lie" (col fondo) method which may be sometimes too sweet or even not stable because the presence of the work-in-progress yeast. Acidity, cleanness and savoury sensations that's what Silvano's steadily looking for in his Prosecco and I must admit these are all features that I found for instance, in this Dosaggio Zero (pas dosè) 2010 vintage, who left right on my mouth a genuine feeling of citrus and loquats freshly picked from the branch and squeezed directly into the glass. — 9 years ago

Super earthy, dirty like the Delta blues. High tones of leather and wet leaves. Good palette punch, brilliant pure berry-branch fruit. The zippy fine tannins give it a long delicious finish. This one can take a bow. — 10 years ago

Tried this as a branch out of my Sertoli Salis, and it's really good! Similarly, needs a good mouthful of food before drinking it to really bring it out. — 10 years ago

Canella

Veneto Brut Prosecco

Fruity yet dry. I don't usually enjoy white wines but this is fantastic, especially considering it is the first prosecco I have had. Slightly appely and not too dry to put off people who don't like dry wine and just dry enough for people who are used to dry wines and want something lighter to branch out with. — 10 years ago

Bodega Comando

La Bruja Avería Rozas de Puerto Real Grenache 2013

The nose on this is special- let it breathe to lose a little alcohol. You'll be rewarded by deep raspberry jam and strawberries on the nose. First quaff is pure strawberry with some herbaceous nuances. Awesome. Kinda like strawberry on a spruce branch. Jam gives way to a more woody quaff. Very, very solid. — 10 years ago

Bodegas Atalaya

La Atalaya Almansa Grenache Monastrell 2008

Had this over a couple days with both being similar. The nose was olive branch and musty old trunk followed by a big berry. Earthy taste with notes of tobacco and surprisingly jammy. A little grit at the end but not more than tolerable. A bottle worth taking your time with. — 9 years ago
