Monte Real Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 1973

1973: Beautiful bottle. Wines like this make everyone stop and take notice. The color was clear and light. Arresting nose full of plums and roasted beets. The depth of flavor and long finish was in contrast with the appearance. Really a fine experience, only second to the few times I had the 1952 Mont Real. — 8 years ago

Quinta das Carvalhas 'Carvalhas' Red Blend 2011

I have yet to have a Touriga Nacional blend that inspires greatness. This is a good quaffing wine for the cheap price. Portugal is a nice untapped area as far as getting steals on your wine goes. — 9 years ago

So I let this breath for two hours and was surprised how awesome this Portuguese blend is. For $8 you can't beat the quality.

Casa Real Reserva Especial Valle del Maipo Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

A great wine for a special day. The name Casa Real is to honor Don Vicente Garcia Huidobro, whose title was given by the King of Spain in the 18th century.
It is the best of the chilean terroir, coming from the heart of Vale del Maipo. Preserved in French oak, it's a must! After "breathing" it gets even better. Cheers!

Krug

Brut Champagne Blend 2006

Beautiful vintage Krug, but clearly still very young (which is slightly nuts). Bubbles are quite fine but still very present. Yeasty and mouth filling - there is real power here. Deep and intense on the palate, long finish, great acid. Very fun to try - but would love to try in 5-10 years. — 3 years ago
