Cepas Viejas Rioja Viura

Possible at first taste to confuse for a medium-high quality Burgundy. Some nice fresh apple notes, some honeysuckle, and purely delicious. I think this wine might not travel well; we drank and purchased this bottle at the winery. It's really good. — 7 years ago

Reserva Rioja Alta Tempranillo Blend

Hard to give a read on this, given its wine companions for the night. Seems like it’s at its peak and the tannins were medium through the two hours we drank from it. Wasn’t decanted, would love to be tasting it again today to see what was left. — 5 years ago

Very Rare Oloroso Emperatriz Eugenia Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Palomino Fino 1556

What you get for the extra $10 (and 250ml less) from Emperatriz Eugenia is massive compared to the entry Don Nuno (both Oloroso). Depth, complexity, something to think about.

Mahogany caramel colored with aromas of sandalwood and sweet dates. Winey sweet palette of dried figs, golden raisins, and burnt toffee.
