La Rioja Alta wines are world class and put Tempranillo in a class all its own. Bellota and Gran Reserva make for an unreal dining experience during the holidays in San Francisco. — 8 years ago

Unreal.

First Jamet, and am definitely a fan. This and MS Ogier are probably my two favourite Cote Rotie producers right now. Need more!

Texture, perfume, and balance - those are the key here, despite it's youth. On the nose, dark fruits (blackberry etc), flowers, meat, smoke, and oaky spice. Touch of barnyard rusticity. Juicy on the palate, sour cherries, black pepper, bunchy goodness. Youthful tannins and persistent finish. So damn tasty. Gonna wait a while for this to open up!

Update: Looking more floral and spicy after some time. A touch of VA complexity building. Feel like it'll have a lot to offer as it ages. — 9 years ago

Wow!! Chris Maybach and Thomas brown make some unreal wine! I would put Maybach up against the best from Napa. This is a wine that will blow you away. Huge fruit, but with extraordinary depth and balance and a finish that goes on and on! For a younger wine it is drinking so well! This is one to put on your bucket list! — 11 years ago

Heavenly nose. Complex like you would not believe. Red confectionary fruit. Earthy, granite, cotton candy hint almost. This is stunning. Elegant and so finesse driven. Insane freshness. Red fruits and super mineral infused and so fucking clean. What acid. Really tannic. Needs 3-4 hours or 10-15 years. It's all there.

After 2-3 hours of air this has gotten extraordinarily unreal. Sweet fruit. Crunchy like a Roumier. Stunning clarity and precision. This is seeing. — 10 years ago

Very fresh and vibrant for a 20yr old champagne. Pale yellow color. Ripe green apple, lemon peel, brioche on the nose. Chalky, mineral driven tart apple cider on the palate. Very well integrated. Thanks @Rebelle for the unreal cellar raid.
