Reserva Bairrada Tinto Baga 2018

Very dark purple color, this is SO youthful that I think even @Tom Casagrande would agree it might need another 5-10 years (from now) aging, big, rich, not an after-dinner sipping wine on a 90 degree day, shame on me!! — 4 days ago

I liked this one a lot. Wish I’d gotten more than one.

Special Club Brut Champagne 2014

Bruised apples and bread that was just fabulously balanced by the acidity. I would have scored higher if the bubbles were more present. — 2 years ago

La Faraona Corullón Bierzo Mencía 2003

Best Mencia I have ever had, still with at least a couple of decades ahead, opaque garnet burgundy color with no sign of bricking, from a small century old vineyard, very distinctive nose of menthol, leather, clove, nutmeg, Asian five spices, pot roasted pork, black licorice, cassis and black plum, full body with fresh acidity and velvety tannin after three hours decant, tastes of black cherry, black berry, clove, licorice, espresso, black plum, mocha, and sandalwood, 588 bottles produced with 6 additional magnum. — 5 years ago

Cuvée des Caudalies Blanc de Blancs Brut Champagne Chardonnay

Top notch grand cru blanc de blancs that has enough to it for any good fish meal, but is light on its feet and works well as a great refresher in a hot day (like the ones we are having now in Paris) — a month ago

Tradition Brut Champagne Blend

Delightful. Lovely light golden straw colors with just the right amount of fizz. Notes of pear, apple and citrus. — 6 years ago

Manuel José Colares

Casta Ramisco 1997

Don’t know if I settled down the third time around or the wine did, but a more focused experience this time. Who knows, maybe three times a charm. An ethereal light to medium body, all balsamic, mushroom notes & wild black currants. — 6 years ago

Pétalos Bierzo Mencía 2019

A lot going on here, and it's good. Smells like cola and chocolate. Tastes like milk chocolate, plums, medjool dates, brown sugar? Dry, tannic, puckery finish, but with lower acidity. Delicious, and a meal into itself.

Last summer, I drank the 2021 vintage of this wine @restaurantcasaruben in Spain. I also gave it 94 points at the time. This Mencia is absolutely my cup of tea!

Nice! Viva the small but merry band of Colares hipsters! Add the vintage, dude (methinks it is either 2006 or ‘09). Last time drunk was with you@Owen Mazon

One of the rare, growingly extinct wine regions in the world-a coastal area near Lisbon, 50 acres left- that’s it. Ramisco is a red varietal, High acid, low alcohol- only older vintages released.
