Fonseca

Vintage Port Blend 1985

Dark ruby/purple color, sweet plum aromas, rich flavors, nicely sweet, spirits still not yet fully integrated, very long finish, very fine Porto. — 9 years ago

BFM Brasserie des Franches-Montagnes

XIV (La Quatorze) Weizen Bock

Another precise effort by #BFM . . . I don't like the malt of Wiestephaner, so I was wary going into this, but it was a fine balance. This #swissie lifted my spirits yesterday after #sw19 ---- #jura #perfect10 — 10 years ago

Château Lynch-Bages

Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 1959

1959 from Sherry Fine Spirits. Classic but showing its age. Funky nose out of the bottle. Needed lots of air to clean up. — 10 years ago

Produttori del Barbaresco

Barbaresco Nebbiolo 2012

Midweek wine! Classic and tradional Barbaresco nebbiolo. Bright, fresh red cherry and rose, dried cranberry, anise, a bit of leather, cola, menthol freshness, and just a tad of that tar and baked clay starting to develop. Already quite aromatic, yet I can tell that it has so much room to open up still, and would age beautifully. High acid, moderate body and firm tannic structure, but the the tannins are quite fine and velvety. Elegance with power. Opened spontaneously after kind of a rough day and it's honestly just what we needed. Amazing how treating yourself with a surprisingly good bottle of wine can change your spirits! — 9 years ago

Herdade do Peso

Vinha do Monte Vinho Regional Alentejano Aragonês 2012

Spezial Weiße German Ale

Tom Elliot
9.8

Had this here in the U.S. but it's as fine as the best wheat beer I've had anywhere from Germany on draft or from bottle. Perfect balance. Imported by Uplifters Spirits. — 10 years ago

Bodegas Luis Cañas

Rioja Blanco Viura-Malvasia 2013

Fuller bodies white. "Beautiful golden yellow with bright lemony highly luminous reflections. The nose is fine with great elegance combined with floral and fruit. The palate is dry with crisp acidity that gives freshness and vivacity, structured and tasty finish of ripe fruit." — 10 years ago

Bodegas Riojanas

Viña Albina Gran Reserva Cenicero Tempranillo Blend 2001

Vina Albina '01 Gran Reserva 80% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo, 5% Graciano from Bodegas Riojanas, Cenicero, Rioja, Espana awarded Gold at LA Wine & Spirits Competition in 2013. The town's name, Cenicero means "ashtray". That might scare away those who do not know what a very fine wine this is. While Delectable reports that this is sold out, there is a fair amount available in unaligned eCommerce. — 11 years ago

Normally, I'm not much into spirits, but a super fine brandy, such as this one is a luxurious exception. Single estate, 29 yrs aged in single cask, natural strength, unfiltered, no coloring, no watering. Importer: Vintage 59. — 12 years ago
