This vintage is too oaky for my taste. Really hoping future vintages aren’t the same. This was such a great semi inexpensive “go to” wine for years. — 5 days ago

Punching way above its weight, it is texturally very similar to the ‘02 CdlR. — 2 months ago

The 21’s here are masterful. Nose of late season black cherries, late season red cherries, earth, mineral and more. Blueberry and blackberry as well. So deep and expressive. That’s 21! Palate is teeming with energy and juiciness. Sour and red cherries and glorious silky tannins and lovely sweetness. Long and flowy. Needs time but just spectacular. So much finesse now and the fruit is all red now. — 2 months ago

So fruit forward and supple. Not what I was expecting at all but so delicious. — 3 months ago

Rich, dark black cherries on the nose with lovely wet earth, mint, mushed leaves, black currant and blackberry. Very 2020. Dark and brooding. Which is very Narbantons. Palate is a closed mess to be honest as this is my 3rd recent 20 and the vintage seems closed. It’s fresh and generous but out of sorts. Let’s see what air does. Juicy and velvety tannins and terrific grip and freshness. I think this will come around. — 18 days ago

Lighter in color than the much older 1969, but much more expressive aromatically, dusty, sandy red-fruited aromas, flavors tend toward red-fruit as well, more of an elegant style of Ramisco, long finish, this seems at peak, or close to it (but I have more bottles, so will check in again within a year). Both of these are amazing at 11% ABV!! — 2 months ago

Glorious bottle. Red and black cherries jump out of the glass with shimmering clarity. Black raspberry and violets. Really terrific nose. 9.5. Palate is velvety and sweet with juicy and super pure black cherry fruit and real density, explosiveness and length while being light in tannins but there is still a delicate structure here and wow that length. Real finesse as well. Best Serpentieres from Girard I have ever had. — 3 months ago

Lirondo' Verdejo 2021
😋: Ripe peaches, lemon, savory spice.
🍽️: Try pairing with seafood, greens, or BBQ chicken.

Manuel Cantalapiedra was a classical pianist before taking up winemaking and overseeing his family’s vineyard in Rueda, 🇪🇸. This Verdejo wine had brief skin contact before fermenting in stainless steel tanks, followed by 6 months on its lees, resulting in a vibrant and textured wine. — a month ago

Last had 4ish years ago. On cork pop was concerned this had not come together. But decanted for an hour and this became quite seamless and delicious. Definitely on the fuller bodied end of the spectrum. Dark red and some black fruit, nice body, excellent acid on the finish married to quite present but integrated tannins. Excellent with a roast chicken with mushrooms cooked in the chicken fat. — 2 months ago
