Zingy. Cedar, herbs and cherrywood on the nose. Flavor is complex, cedar-y and classic Spaniard. Deep and rich for the age. Nice sauna and berry extravaganza. Fully expressive of a place and time. — 8 years ago
This varietal is new to me. Great body and nice acid to cut it. Nor Ital florals from a Spaniard. My kind of wine. — 9 years ago

Strong, Sassy Spaniard — 6 years ago
Scampi NYC is a popular new Southern Italian influenced restaurant in Manhattan's Flatiron district, led by a chef whose previous gigs included Ai Fiori (good food, corporate vibe) and The Spaniard (don't look beyond the burger). The extensive wine list was put together by @Kimberly Prokoshyn, former head somm at Rebelle and stalwart of many a La Festa del Barolo. The list's main strength is its reasonably priced back vintages from Bordeaux and Burgundy - of all possible strengths, that's about as good as it gets.
My father in law's birthday made for the ideal occasion to visit. The restaurant is loud but not quite excessively. Dishes are all designed to share and range from delicious light dishes, of which the fluke crudo was a highlight, to more hearty fare such the half chicken and rib eye steak. The pastas were innovative, rich and addictively good.
Our first wine was a 2003 Gruard Larose. It is rich and ripe, mocha, black fruits and leather. It sustains nicely while the tannins are pleasingly resolved. It's probably about as good as this wine will get. The power of this Bordeaux stood up well to the vivid flavors of the cuisine, and was a dream with the campanelle with fennel sausage.
The appetite was whetted for the next bottle...

Righteous Spaniard. — 9 years ago
Decanted for an hour, poured for customers for 2 hours, sat for 4 more in the bottle... "good things come to those who wait." (Freebie!) the nose now has a milky chocolate vibe, with some faint berry. The palate is dank. Coarse texture, thick, dense tannins. Vanilla/OAK, expansive feel. It goes and fades out. You can still find the flavors if you lick the insides of your cheeks. A big Spaniard. Should age for 5-10 — 10 years ago

2016 I like it a lot smooth rich but it’s slightly light. — 6 years ago
This wine was given to me by a good friend. I’m not usually fan of Spaniard wine but I was pleasantly surprised.
This wine goes down very nicely. Strangely enough, I drank it with a mild chili that paired well. — 7 years ago

Fantastic Spaniard, tastes a lot more youthful than it is - still bright and fruity but not sparkly and no earth — 2 years ago
