Two years later I’m not getting the same feedback. I still enjoy but had more of a sweetness not overpowered.

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.

DO Ribeira Sacra. Really liked this — a year 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

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
