Perfect point in its evolution for me. Still some primary fruit mixed with the graphite leather and black pepper. — 10 years ago

2002 vintage which has been a maligned Rioja vintage. This is the perfect example of producer being the trump card. Excellent as always! — 11 years ago

I have some 1981 Tondonia and Bosconia grand reserva that we need to compare side by side ...
Let me known when you are conning ??

Anthony Lombardi

I actually brought 1981's to a dinner at the Corson Building here in Seattle a few years ago. The Bosconia was the winner by the slightest margin. Actually everybody won who drank them.

Great way to say vintages mean less when you have a great producer!

Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2013

9.1

My favorite Sauvignon blanc - very fruity (citrus, tropical) without being overly sweet, which is perfect. Not as herbaceous/mineraly as Loire SBs. The 2014 vintage isn't as good, unfortunately.

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2012

Steve Mitchell

9.1

A 2012 blend consisting of 70% Zinfandel, 21% petite Sarah, 6% Carignane and 3% Mourvèdre. A rich deep ruby red color, 14.4% alcohol, dry, mind tannin that will smooth out after a few years of collecting. Paired with meatballs and it was a perfect compliment. — 11 years ago
