Bodegas y Viñedos Vega Sicilia

Pintia Toro Tempranillo 2019

Toro: one of the oldest and strongest expressions of Tempranillo is tamed by the House of Vega Sicilia. Pintia preserves the rustic and robust nature of the DO in an elegant way. Aromas and flavors of dark fruit, violets, dark chocolate, coffee and spice. Full bodied, high alcohol and fine grain tannins with a strong finish are sure to entice. — 3 months ago

Gaudium Gran Vino Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2019

2019 vintage. A bit richer than expected. Slightly less grip than anticipated. This is a great wine “cheat code” for Spain and Rioja. Showing nicely now. 11.20.24. — 8 months ago

@Scott@Mister A’s-San Diego I really dig your reviews. Love your turn of phrase and prose that comes at describing wine from a different angle. Really connects. Keep it coming! Also, your Delectable handle begs to be looked up. Found your video with HospitaliTV - just finished. I really enjoyed your thoughts on half bottles and customer approach. Wish we lived even close to San Diego, but if we ever visit we’ll be sure to stop into Mister A’s. Cheers!

03/15/25 at total wine for $6. Not bad for price. Subtle Pepper flavor but smooth. Work with steak dinner. Normally we do $20-40 wine, this worked well. — 4 months ago

"El Recio" Tinto de Toro

Vintage 2016 | Stubborn when opened, so I put half in a decanter for four hours. That is suitable to give a good dinner experience. Cedar, chocolate impression, round taste. Paired with ribeye. And cheese. Nice effort. | Diam-corked — 7 months ago

7 Fuentes Valle de la Orotava Listan Negro-Tintilla Blend 2018

If I had rated this one the night I opened it, I would have given it a slightly lower score. At first, I caught aromas of leather and meat drippings and flavors of sundried tomatoes. A couple of nights later, the wine had opened up nicely and had more floral and spice aromas and flavors of red berries and earth. Needless to say, an interesting wine, indeed. And from the Canary Islands! Huh. 90% Listan Negro, 10% Castellana Negra. 9/1/22. — 3 years ago
