Louro do Bolo Valdeorras Godello 2022

Phenomenal winemaking on display here by any measure, let alone at the price point. Crisp and stony, seashell and sea spray, citrus and underripe stone fruit, edging into tropical tones with structural grip and creamy lees tying it all together. Godly godello — 2 months ago

Gratallops Priorat Grenache Blend 2021

Much more minerality than other Priorat I've had. Not sure what others on here are drinking, but I don't see this as fruit forward as they did. That said, hiding behind the llicorella you do get cherry vanilla, cocoa, and coconut--all classic Priorat flavors--with tinges of black pepper. Finish is a little weak for this price range, but I still enjoyed this very much. — 4 months ago
