Another year, another banging Bastarda! A true red wine kabinett. Light-footed, complex, and super energetic. The nose was so floral and spicy. I got notes of roses, pepper, curry leaves, cloves, sour cherries, and hints of balasmic character. The palate was like drinking salty pomegranate and cherry juice, with hints of dried herbs. Super light, yet intense. Finishes very chalky and long. I love this wine a lot, but there were others on the table that laughed at it. One for the enthusiasts. Their loss, my win. Haha. — a month ago

Wine with roasted whole chicken part 2: I used to adore Ribera Sacra, & then moved away with the inevitable rise in price & trend towards more modern styles. Not this. A short decant (45-60) to take the wind out of the Brett sails, & we were off: dense, brambly black fruits on nose & palate, with a distant barn door left open on the nose. Medium plus acidity. It’s the length though that impressed me, along with a freshness (at 13%). Evolves in glass, as if the fruit still has layers. Like a really good chinon. At about 28$, a high end QPR. Eric Solomon imp, interestingly enough. — 3 years ago

Elegant and Minerally. Great acidity with a spicy foundation of tobacco and some vanilla. Bright red fruit of the raspberry kind. — 2 years ago

This is a pretty cool take on non-sherry Palomino. It’s a little salty like fino but doesn’t have the flor notes obviously. — 3 years ago

Newest encounter with this Ribera Sacra red. Tasted like a Loire in blind tasting especially given its funkiness, but it’s more complex & layered if you take your time & let it settle down. Blackberries, a bit of fermented apple cider, & wild raspberries- the tiny ones. I can drink this all day. — 2 years ago
