Rioja Vega S. A.

Edición Limitada Tempranillo Blanco 2018

Never heard of Tempranillo Blanco. Is that a grape? Golden, straw colored. Smells like Albariño or a French Rhone type white. Honey, sweet baked goods, sage, carrot seeds and oak. Flavors are strange and unfamiliar. Crisp, zesty, with a streak of tart green apple. Some honey, but not sweet at all. Just a hint of that CA chard stuff with the oak flavors. But it’s not really like any white I can place. Most resembles Rhone white blends. It’s a fun wine to try, and it’s nice. Complex and just a bit funky. — 4 years ago

Muestra Valbuena 5 Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend 2011

Red fruit has never been as regal. The visual experience is bathed in red elegance. A hint of licorice in the nose, followed by an explosion of berries all over the place, and then the most beautiful silk as it fades into a long, subtle farewell. A beautiful surprise every time. — 7 years ago

Mandolás Tokaji Dry Furmint Blend 2010

Zero pre-knowledge and I loved what I discovered. I didn’t realize this had a good nine years of age. It’s also the second Tokaji I’ve opened recently backed by Vega Sicilia. It has a golden copper hue. Concentrated syrup of sour apricots, lychee and starfruit with spiced edges. Canned fruit cocktail and cinnamon. — 6 years ago

The disadvantage of wine knowledge is that you often know what to expect. I sometimes long back to knowing nothing ☺️ because there are so many surprises

@Peter van den Besselaar I agree but would amend. The biggest disadvantage is the cost of stimulation. Once you discover champagne you’re screwed.
