Reserva Gran Coronas Black Label Penedès Cabernet Sauvignon 1978

Crazy wine, and probably the most welcome departure from the Syrah-Fest of January '19. I was expecting a wine with a tiny bit of fruit but mostly notes reminiscent of a cigarette being put out in it. Whoah Mama! If blindfolded, there is no way I would have guessed that this was 100% cabernet from Spain, and 40 year old cabernet from Spain at that! Still had a lot of Blackberry on the front, but also hints of black tea, rhubarb. Leather and tobacco in the middle into the Finish. But this one finishes with a lot of black youthful fruit that is reminiscent of a wine that may have 10 years of age on it. Completely and totally awed. — 6 years ago

The Torres stuff has a long life, have much in the early '00's, every time we open one I regret it, they are very strong each time. They have been off limits for 2 years now, to hold some kind of reserve in the cellar.

Very impressive. Almost 41yrs of age and there was still fruit here...and it even increased after 30mins of being open. Leather, tobacco, bay leaf, and stewed blackberries. There was a streak of black cherry down the middle to give this a lift. Very cool experience.

Classic Priorat Red Blend 2014

Sacred Thirst tasting. I enjoyed the roundness here. Not crazy over the top Priorat, but restrained while inviting. Hearty stews would pair well. I guess I was hungry too. — 9 years ago

Unique white coming from young woman winemaker in the Canary islands. I found this to be pleasantly #smokey but not over #oaked . Expresses the #volcanicsoils very well but light and sharp at the same time! Interesting find! #canaryislands — 9 years ago

Unfiltered Estate Grown Don Miguel Vineyard Pinot Noir 2008

Barnyard, cherries, pie crust, red currant with layers upon layers on the lifted nose. You could just sit and smell this wine and be satisfied. Smokey cedar with juicy red fruits on the palate. Rich and smooth with balance and finesse. Excellent Pinot! — 11 years ago

Campo Alegre Toro Tempranillo 2011

I'm partial to Spanish wines and this is no exception. It can stand alone as a solid Tempranillo or it an be (as I discovered last night) the rich topping on a very refreshing mixed drink. — 11 years ago

Soto de Torres Ibéricos Crianza Rioja Tempranillo 2010

Very new world style. Vanilla cherry, black raspberry, plum w mushroom and cinnamon notes. Seems to have quite a bit of new oak on it. Not getting the coconutty dill thing, so wondering if french oak? But it's delish. — 11 years ago
