Bolgheri Sassicaia Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc 2015

🎂Birthday Wine 🍾🥂👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Best Champagne I’ve ever enjoyed!
“The Hype” is deserved! Believe the Winemaker, Jean-Baptiste Lécaillon-Chef de Cave of Louis Roederer since 1999 has said 2008 is his greatest Cristal to date! Seek out, cellar & consume all you can! Cheers, 🍾🥂

Alberto Nanclares

Paraje Mina Rias Baixas Albariño 2018

Leesy cotton candy and grapefruit nose, exploding into lemon meringue and warheads and olive oil in your mouth. Long salty finish. Beautiful arc on the palate. Love. — 4 years ago
