Pruno Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon 2018

90/10 Temperanillo and Cabernet Sauvignon. The nose is heavy with espresso bean and dark chocolate overshadowing the fruit. Flavors of tart cherry and cranberry giving way to eucalyptus, cedar, Luden's. Whew, it's tight!

Ribera Del Duero Tempranillo 2020

Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.

Full-bodied with medium acidity.

Very dry on the palate with nice complexity and a nice mouthfeel.

Showing black fruits, cedar, licorice, chocolates, dark coffee, pencil lead, earth and peppercorn.

This is a delicious Tempranillo from Ribera Del Duero in Spain. Elegant and rich. Fruit forward and nicely balanced.

Starting to drink beautifully now, and needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.

Wine Enthusiasts 96 points. Wine Advocate 95 points.

This 5 year old Tempranillo is already complex, and will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.

100% Tempranillo grapes, from 40 year old vines, were aged for 14 months in oak barrels and concrete vats.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$120.

"Cuvée Corcelette" Morgon Gamay 2023

Wow. Not just forest floor but tree bark and liquorice and a hint of menthol layered into this crunchy textured Beaujolais.
One of the few fine reds that I can open and enjoy in the middle of the day without wishing I was eating food with it. It truly stands as something to enjoy on its own without a pairing.

Hermitage Syrah 1983

Gorgeous on the nose. Roses, some gnarly fruit and a hint of funk. Beautiful and complex and balanced. Soft in the mid palate… soft red cherry. Excellent and fully mature. — 6 days ago

Cuvée 3.14 Morgon Gamay 2006

This wine comes from a time when natural wine was still a revolution, not a trend. Foillard, one of the Gang of Four, took Gamay to wild, expressive heights with deep structure and an earthy sensuality which entices any wine lover. Twenty years later this wine is a testament of passion; on the palate the wine is so harmonious it decimates in your mouth like the most beautiful time lapse you’ve ever experienced. Great wine. — 15 days ago
