Mineral, limestone, and a bit of apricot and honey after it opened up. Absolutely amazing. A nice celebration bottle! — 7 months ago

Cantina Gaffino

Il Buon Bastardo Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Deep purple in color; black cherries, blackberries, and pepper with hints of baking spices on the nose; medium acidity, medium minus tannins; tastes like cherries, blackberries, and graphite with a long finish. Nellie says it's good and well balanced. I think it's a good cab and I'd be happy to drink it again. — a year ago

Raul Pérez

Ultreia Saint Jacques Mencía 2019

The wine I have opened is the 2019 Raul Pérez Ultreia Saint Jacques from Bierzo. This is a blend of Mencia, Bastardo and Alicante Bouschet.

On the nose there is strawberry, cherry, raspberry, licorice, herbal, pepper, spice and earth.

On the palate there is red fruit, strawberry, pomegranate, raspberry, blackberry, black plum, licorice, herbs and earth.

This is a medium bodied wine with a beautifully fresh mouthfeel medium + to high acidity and medium + fine tannins that has agrip to it which moves into a long red fruit herbal finish. Have a great weekend and please stay safe and healthy. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

Never had a red from Raventos - not as good as the Can Sumoi wines but still a fun, somewhat feral red! — 5 months ago

Harrington Wines

Trousseau 2018

I was not that familiar with this varietal and so thought I would wiki for all interested: “Trousseau or Trousseau Noir, also known as Bastardo and Merenzao, is an old variety of red wine grape originating in eastern France. It is grown in small amounts in many parts of Western Europe; the largest plantations are today found in Portugal, where most famously it is used in port wine. It makes deep cherry red wines with high alcohol and high, sour candy acidity, and flavours of red berry fruits, often complemented - depending on production - by a jerky nose and an organic, mossy minerality.” ABV 13% — a year ago
