This 2019 Albariño displays high-pitched citrus fruit, quinine and chalky mineral qualities. Lively and precise in the mouth, it shows firm tension to the lime zest, quince and honeysuckle flavors. Takes on a deeper pear note with air and closes long and nervy. A hint of spicy ginger adds bite. $19.00 (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, August 2021) — 4 years ago

Worried this was corked but it's blown off. Amazingly youthful for a near 100 year old wine- probably reconditioned. Resolved dark wood and sour cherry. Very pretty and persistent. Hours later this has exploded. Soft and gorgeous. No issues. Pure joy. — 9 years ago

Barnyard funk on open. Soily. Wet leather. Needs time to expand. Time that I didn't afford it. Quite better than my last time with this. 2012 vintage offers more weight and heft. Very good.

처음보다 하루 이틀 지나고 먹을때 훨씬 훌륭함 충분한 풀바디감을 비롯하여 갈수록 과실향까지 더해져 마시기 편해짐 다만 칠레와인 특성상 단맛을 싫어하는 사람에겐 조금 꺼려질수도 있을듯함 — 9 years ago

My second time tasting this wine. Wow was it showing well with living red fruit. The fruit was complex, rich, and wise. The complexity and length were incredibly long. This was as smooth as it gets. Even the core was still slightly red. #marquésderiscal #rioja #1911 #spain #ctbucklinwine — 10 years ago
