Diez Merito Cream.
Should be great as an inexpensive dessert pour or for wine dinners. — 8 years ago
This manzanilla brand is now owned by Bodegas y Vinedos Diez Merito.
Classic roasted almond, salty, green herb aromas. Decisively dry, persistent and long.
Coming soon to the @GrapesofSpain portfolio.

Delightful Rioja with a delicious Cuban dinner. — 6 years ago
Really delicious. Complex but perhaps dangerously drinkable. Somehow both sharp and smooth. — 6 years ago
Very good Verdejo, light aging in barrel makes a rounder and more complex wine than the usual — 6 years ago

I think my first btl of this must have been from a friend's stock as I thought I was out of this. On the nose: massive reduction, with loads of struck match...this suggests a gravitas that the wine just can't live up to. Reduction dominates the nose, so there's nothing else to say about that. On the palate, hi-toned meyer lemon, rich lemon tart with butter, but surprisingly light-bodied..leaning a touch thin. Ok finish, which shows some white pepper. OK, but slightly disjointed...moral is: noble reduction and a big punt does not a great white burg make? — 6 years ago
[Night 1:] On the lower-toned end of the flavor spectrum. Dark, smoky, leathery notes take the lead on the nose, with some very dark cherry verging into blackberry fruit in the background. Loads of warm sandstone. Tannic, dark, and large-framed in the mouth. Maybe a tad scorchy. Not my style (I like ‘em with more cherry fruit and freshness). Others may like this more.
UPDATE: Night 2 this is much nicer. Dark cherry liqueur fruit has moved to the fore, and the tannins are not nearly as prominent. Amazingly, I’m upping this from 8.8 to 9.1. Obviously the moral of the story is to give this guy plenty of air. — 6 years ago
Soft spun golden blonde hue. Notes of almond and hint of moral bouquet. Curtis and fresh herbs with a wash of dried apricot at the finish. Delicate yet significant gem. — 7 years ago
