Spicy red fruit, mostly cherry. Still quite a few tannins for a 10 year old. — 9 months ago

Bodegas Olarra

Cerro Añon Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2009

Drinking well now, this is a well composed wine that typifies Rioja. I first had this about six years ago, and really enjoyed it. This time round, it’s of course more mature, but perhaps falls somewhat short on the finish. The nose is absolutely knockout - it smells much more than the £15 that I paid for it - but on the palate it doesn’t quite live up to it. Still, a very pleasant drink. — 6 years ago

Carmen

Gran Reserva Los Quillayes Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

A very well balanced cab . The tannins and the acidity match , the notes of deep rich red fruits and a smooth Oaked finish are great ... I would buy this again no doubts — 8 years ago

Gran Reserva Serie Riberas Ribera del Tinguiririca Cabernet Sauvignon

Nose: fig and Asphalt and earth

Taste: candid walnut up front? plum and berry, very fruit forward in the middle. Finishes spicy! Love the prickling sensation as the berry fades.

this is the 2013 not 2011 (photo incorrect)

Gran Reserva III Lustros Brut Nature Cava Xarello Macabeo 2015

The Grand Cru of Cava? Corpinnat (Heart of Penedes) is a special designation by a group of estates (currently 11) who broke tie with the Cava D.O. This one was disgorged in 12/2023.
Aromatic nose of green apple, peach, chalk, light brioche, and hint of white floral. Vibrant, round, and precise. Very impressive, particularly when considering this is a brut nature.
