Nº 41 Jerez-Xérès-Sherry La Bota de Palo Cortado Palomino Fino

How about just "Yes" burnt Carmel nutty dry well balanced. Perfectly paired with olive oil cake. Beautiful. This is the third sherry from this producer I have drank in the past 2 months and each one outdoes the previous one. Pure heaven that goes on and on. Nothing else needs to be said. If you are able to acquire this, I strongly recommend you jump on this beauty!! — 9 years ago

Rioja Tempranillo Rosé Blend 2014

Holly Orchard
9.0

Yes, it's a dark rose color, and NO, it's not sweet. In fact this rosé is much less fruity and floral than other dry rosés I've encountered. The acid is not searing but still has enough to make it food friendly and refreshing. The time in oak barrels gives this rosé a rich texture and depth of flavor. Full of white peach, watermelon rind and rose petals. I bought 3 bottles on the spot- nuff said! — 10 years ago

In sitting across from a Spanish guy. He says it's one of the classic Riojas. Great wine.

San Giuseppe Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Nice barolo. Great length, stinging acidity, big tannins. Tar, leather, unripened fruit, orange stuff. Yes, I said stuff. — 10 years ago

Joe Davis is Demi-god. One of the greatest yet unsung heroes of American wine. This is one of the greatest American Chardonnays ever made, yes I said that, I dare you to put it against ANY American Chardonnay. — 11 years ago

Zlatan

Crljenak Crljenak Kaštelanski

RIP to the late Zlatan who passed a month ago.

Zlatan Otok is one of my favourite wineries in Croatia. I appreciate every single one of the wines that I've tried but that said, this Zlatan Otok 2010 Crljenak is my absolute fave.

In 2001 a research, funded by Mike Grgich of Judgement of Paris fame, on the origin of Zinfandel came to fruition. It confirmed that Zinfandel and Primitivo came from Croatia. Unfortunately at the point of discovery, the vines of Crljenak in Croatia was near extinction. Today, only a handful of Croatian wineries still produce this wine. As far as I've tried, the Zlatan Otok 2010 Crljenak is the best representation of this variety.

Notes: Colour is dark garnet with some clarity. On the nose, I get cboth red and black fruit, white and black pepper, slightly perfumey like amber and musk. The palate reflects exactly what's on the nose, carried off by vibrant acidity and prominent minerality. Tannins are slightly coarse but sweet, which means it should be aged in the bottle for a while longer but ready to be enjoyed now. What I love most is how it opens up and expresses itself on the palate like a triangle--from narrow and shy to wide and lively. This Crljenak has lighter body than most Californian Zinfandel.

The final conclusion: Yes please! It's slightly cheaper than Lytton Springs, and I'm getting more pleasure from this.

Yes said the nose after about a second from liberation. (The top off) I didn't expect to find a place that cared so much for this lady here on Sukhumvit 22 Bangkok. But I have and recommend others to liberate this beauty. Well priced, well positioned, well inside. Drink it in. — 10 years ago

Clos Saint-Jean Chassagne-Montrachet 1er Cru Pinot Noir

2010 Clos St Jean was singing. So much so, I was too excited to give the guest this momento before the bottle shot! Supple, but light, lemon, pluot, and honeysuckle. Vanilla bean & touch of thyme. & Yes. I said Pluot. — 10 years ago

Peroni

Nastro Azzurro Birra Superiore

Grew up drinking this, still brewed the same as it has been for the many years I know, still brewed in Rome, with all that be said, is it the finest brew from Itay? I would say so, is it clean and refreshing? Yes, but so little as taste goes, for me, do I enjoy it? From time to time, when I want something light, but mostly for the memories — 12 years ago
