Day 2. Different is trending here. Did a little digging and pulled this gem.
The 2009 Viña Tondonia Reserva, a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho and 5% each Mazuelo and Graciano, matured in used American oak barrels for six years.
Elegance and value. Lively and fresh. Lot’s of life left for this one. Not a bad start for the year.

2017; Heavy oak after a light summer peachy vanilla flavor — 5 years ago
The estate Chardonnay is a blend of six different vineyards with approximately 20% fermented in new oak barrels. Texturally, this cuvée offers a sense of flow; it is relaxed in its own skin but provides welcome tension on the precise finish thanks to a line of firm acidity that will leave you smacking your lips. The 20% new oak is well integrated, contributing delicate nougat flavors, and allowing the subtle nectarine and honeydew melon flavors to shine on the medium-length finish.

"A traditional Australian blend combining the expressiveness of Shiraz with the defined structure of Cabernet Sauvignon. This full-bodied wine shows ripe dark fruit aromas, voluminous richness and plentiful tannins. " — 4 months ago

Very nice, but fairly typical cold weather Pinot noir. Could easily be Oregon, could be Swiss. Really quite nice. — 4 years ago
Having to work down our bottles in the London wine fridge, so drinking some very young vintages. Last vintage of a six bottle vertical.
Almost 2hr decant. Dark red color. Classic Pontet Canet nose with a little ammonia. Wine is definitely young and green. Fruit forward with cherries as expected but lacks the typical depth. Medium finish. Rounding up to 94. — 5 years ago
Very smooth. Very nice combination with red pasta sauce. Definitely will buy again — 6 years ago

This time was definitely better than previous one. More fruit and nuisance. Maybe needs more time to develope? — 23 days ago
