An absolute gem. It was great initially but just kept on getting better and better as it opened up. Definitely a wine that I need to keep on hand at home. Especially since it comes in half bottles. Tastes like it's in its prime. — 10 years ago

Total wine revelation while chilling with my son--brilliant violet with translucent rim, Bretty nose with leather and red currants, spicy and tangy purple berry flavors, iron and brine and a kiss of dusty tannins to finish. Feels and tastes like it came from the foothills of the Alps. Zero issues draining the entire 500ml bottle like a juice box. Would seek out this obscure Portuguese gem again for sure--and maybe let it go longer! — 9 years ago

A gem at this price. True enjoyment from Beaujolais. A bright burst of strawberry and red fruits. Earthy, with clean minerals, granite. Nicely balanced. A great quaffer to have with food. — 11 years ago

The Spaniards definitely know their wines are not just for pairing! This gem is not only great with your steaks and lamb and any other juicy treats... It will go with goats cheese, mushrooms, bread and olive oil... And even your chocolates!

Best thing about #AbadiaRetuerta is that it is just a pleasure to have a glass on its own. No need for pairing... And well... If you share it, then it will taste even better. Tobacco, plum, oak bouquet; and a rounded and perfectly balanced palate. Definitely made with care to be enjoyed with passion! #SeleccionEspecial2011

Inky dark color with bold and brooding fruit on the nose. You can almost feel the Syrah and Zinfandel gracefully grappling with each for dominance in the glass. Their internal clash has rounded out the edges and imparted great muscularity that culminates in a velvety finish, 10 seconds+. Adamantine. — 10 years ago

2005 vintage, 500 ml bottle. Forward style of Barolo if not quite international or modern. Nose of tar, spice, leather and some earth. The palate has vanilla (has probably mellowed with age), dark fruits, and mellowed tannins. Good acidity to cut through the fat of the large cut prime rib at Metropolitan Grill in Seattle. Not enough earth to really play with the cedar plank wild mushrooms. I've had older Fontannafreddas and they seemed much more modern in style. The waiter noted that around the mid-2000s they began to change. Would be interested to see if this continued. — 10 years ago

This Sauternes is a true gem! Unctuous roasted peaches, dried apricots, orange blossom water, and candied orange rind play off of the heady saffron aroma and flavor. I could drink this every day paired with absolutely anything. This is perfection in a bottle. — 10 years ago
