Macán Rioja Tempranillo 2019

This tasty 5 year old Tempranillo from Vega Sicilia & Rothschild, is still young and needs a few years in the bottle to mature properly.

Showing red and black fruits with earth, wood, spices, peppercorn, chocolates, tobacco, graphite and dark coffee.

Complex and interesting. Rich and fruit forward. A modern take on Rioja.

Better than their Classico version, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.

100% Tempranillo grapes from 40 year old vines.

14% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$120.

Reserva Especial Unico Ribera del Duero Tempranillo Blend 2006

Among the best that Ribero del Duero offers. Benefits from a generous decant for a wonderful waft in the glass — a month ago

Estate Bottled Monção e Melgaço Alvarinho

Delicious, great with fish. As someone not super familiar with Portuguese wines, I found this more substantial and complex than a typical Rias Baixas Albarino, still light and summery — 3 months ago

Great, but the 2018 better - a little more horsepower. — 18 days ago

Pintia Muestra Toro Tempranillo 2018

Deep, dark and contemplative. Fresh and lively nose, but the fruit is quite restrained and serious. Black cherry, prune, vanilla bean and black pepper with dusty, astringent tannins. Long dry finish of hay, dried herbs and some of that bitterness. Drinking it on the cooler side. Feels right to sip this while listening to Sketches of Spain. — a month ago
