My favorite of German Blanco’s single-vineyard wines in Bierzo. Field blend of mostly Mencia with some Garnacha Tintorera, Godello and Doña Blanca from a small plot with very old vines (100+ years old) in Albares de la Ribera, in Bierzo Alto (very cold, high altitude). Co-fermented in amphora and aged for 13 months in neutral oak. Red fruit aromas and flavors. Fresh, lively — 3 years ago
Sweet on the nose, but dry and fruity (tropical, peaches, nectarines), lees-y, goes well with strong seafood. — 2 years ago
Kudos a Mr. Bernard Portet en este Bordeaux blend de 37 años y absoluta elegancia..
Valida su visión de hacer vinos que añejen a lo viejo mundo en el.nuevo. Siempre se mantuvo fiel a su estilo y nunca dobló rodillas haciendo vino para satisfacer revistas. — 2 years ago
Rojo intenso. Frutos negros. Tabaco, co retrogusto duradero. Gordo. — 4 years ago
Fresh, lifted style. Floral, dried herbs, strawberry preserve. Avoids being too hot, jammy or smoke-y. — 4 years ago
Soft, lovely, bread-y nose of black currant fur, licorice, light mint forcing upward, sprouting through potting soil. Cinnamon and blueberry warmly embraced by dark bread and small specks of black pepper. Fruit tannins thickly house-painted across your front teeth in a real sense. Muscle. Licorice-charcoal, bitters, blackberry, black currant, graphite-smoke halo, black cherry, oak and cedar, wound up and closed in places, but powerhouse lurking in the shadows.

13.5% ABV Salute to Lulu Peyraud of Domaine Tempier in France. Lulu’s father owned the vineyard , and she along with her husband took it over. Sadly we lost her in October 2020 at the age of 102 y/o. This is a blend of old vine Mataro and Grenache. Light salmon color, watermelon initially , later apple. Very nice! — 3 years ago

Este vino es una Co fermentacion de Tannat y Viognier. O sea ambos mostos fermentados juntos en El mismo tanque/barrica.. La nariz es un bofetón repasao..pero demasiada barrica nueva para mi gusto. Excelente fruta se puede apreciar la viognier..interesting — a year ago
