Another barn burner from our friends at Field Recordings, who have fashioned a red blend using every grape known to man. We loved it. — 4 years ago

A lot of wood and soil. A little heavy, drowning fruit. Dry no mineral continues to dominate; maybe more air. Not bad - well-structured, but not my thing.
Edit: Another day, another bottle. Kinda digging the fruit being on the back burner today. — 8 years ago

The debut vintage and a stunning debut. Bob Feller like. Incredible spice. Next level. Some wood but buttressed by amazing florals. Violets and roses galore. Wow. Granite and olive. 9.8 nose. Just blown away. Palate is so concentrated yet so silky. Sweet, rich and fresh with exquisite tannins. Dark berry fruit of the tiny kind. High high quality fruit here and absolutely a barn burner of a finish. This is very very good wine. — 3 years ago

2018 vintage. Initial nose with a trace fecal component that blew off 2-3 mins after opening. Heavy metal body. Nose reformed to feature grounding/hot Szechuan pepper, traces of fresh ginger, heaps of bramble fruit and watercress. Lengthy, astringent, iodine-laced and plummy. chocolate, kirschy finish. Almost imperceptible cedar and tobacco hovering about that may gain more prominence in the coming years but for now, they’re on the back burner. Sounds totally disjointed and wild but it works. Last tasted 4.8.22. — 4 years ago

Zenato never dissapoints! 2006 vintage in August 2020.
Purple red with a thin watery edge. In the nose the tertiary notes are slightly coming in (wet forest) but dominant are cherries and some tar. In the mouth it is balanced and the little alcohol burner gives it a nice edge.... — 6 years ago

Nose on open was alcohol. Got me worried. But for no need! Wow this was great. Nose eventually morphed into stone and gravel with a touch of raspberry. Elegant flavor throughout. Dark rich fruit and ripe tannins. Figs. Great tension with the acidity I expect from a Barbera. Black tea grippiness. What a blend. Highly recommend despite present alcohol that could have been integrated a touch better or benefitted from being a touch lower. Nbd though and not a hot burner. — 7 years ago

Very reminiscent of a Crianza. The palate is super pretty, leaning on blueberry cobbler, black cherries, sugarplums, rose petals, bay leaves, pastrami, wood burner, chocolate, vanilla, and sweet tobacco. The mid-palate and finish are loaded with sweet fruit. Tannins are quite round. Tempranillo has something to say in Clarksburg.

"on the palate, El Buen Rollo is a slow burner. Like the grizzled old farm hand who favors the slow approach. Then suddenly the bowl of reappears, coming right at you, tannins forward with a cloud of florals." — 3 years ago

Truly outstanding Independence Day after burner. Broke my mid week fast for this Spanish domination.
Ethereal and focused. Still plenty of runway ahead of it. — 4 years ago

Reeeeeediculous. 14 and 16 are both similar and brilliant white Rhone vintages. High on the acid and low on the gras. Preposterous nose. Just superb complexity. Lanolin, herbs, granite, minerals. Really wide. Wow, insane palate. This was a barn burner when young and then closed beyond anything and now is wide open. Unreal palate. So delineated and pure. So clean and complex. Juicy, yet chewy and super engaging. Wow this is awesome. Nose is heaven. Sick. Best bottle of Figuiers I’ve ever had. So racy, so concentrated and dare I say Rieslingesque? Amazing finish. So linear. Preposterously great. — 5 years ago

Tons of Tannins still at work with a barnyard blow off as its opening act. Gobs of fruit and saddle leather on the nose with a hint of mint and evergreen. Good color and very concentrated. A medium finish with a spicy tone and a syrup like After burner. — 7 years ago
