Viñas de Gain Selección de Añada Rioja Tempranillo 2005

Thanks to @Ron R I was able to try an older vintage, still needed a 2nd day & 3 hour decant to open up. I think the low scores from others is because they didn’t give it enough air.
Thanks Ron!

This wine does need some severe coaxing. Completely agree that day 2/3 gives you a better look 👀

Zacapa

Gran Reserva Ron Zacapa Ron Centenario Sistema Solera 23 Rum

Probably my favourite rum - it’s from Guatemala. They use virgin sugar cane honey - the first pressing of the sugar cane, unlike most rums which use molasses. As I’ve mentioned in previous notes on Delectable, aromas of burnt caramel, tar and molasses. Aged in a Solera system at 2300 metres above sea level. Firstly in American Oak Barrels then in charred American Oak barrels, then in barrels that previously aged Sherry and finally in barrels that previously aged Pedro Ximinez. Very smooth and dangerously drinkable. — 9 months ago

Hacienda Lopez de Haro (Bodega Classica)

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2009

Traditional Rioja Style Tempranillo. Ruby red color with an orange rim. Ripe red fruit aromas and flavors with notes of rose petals, spices and vanilla. Long finish. Elegant. Thank You Ron B! — 5 years ago

Rubin Carnuntum Zweigelt

An elusive Austrian wine. Body, deep color, and a Sarah profile. — 7 years ago

Le Dauphin de Guiraud

Sauternes Sémillon-Sauvignon Blanc 2005

This is a second label Sauternes. Deep straw color. 65% Semillon and 35% Sauvignon Blanc. Intense nose that features raisins, pear, vanilla and a bit of citrus. Just a bit of a floral note. Dense ripe fruit and honey flavors. Hint of oak. Mouth coating texture. Nice way to end the day. Thank You for sharing Ron B! — 4 years ago

Bacigalupi

Russian River Valley Chardonnay 2018

I agree with notes from @Ron R The bouquet just explodes out of the glass. On the palate, this is clean, crisp, and perfectly balanced. Just a wonderful chardonnay. — 5 years ago

Ron Abuelo Añejo 12 Años Rum

Drank it while I smoked a cigar (Gran Habano Blue in Green) on a patio in the Old Town, Panama City and it was delicious — 6 years ago

Hans und Philipp Grassl

Rubin Carnuntum

Black fruit with a touch of Marmelade. Some spice and a whiff of roast. On the palate fruity, with juicy acidity and fine tannins. Highly drinkable.
Develops nicely in the glass.
