La Zeiran Madrid — a month ago
This is the best bottle of wine I’ve had from my cellar in years. Nearly perfect. Bought it in 2008 for $30 and one of my great finds. Good lord it was just divine. I’m sure there have been better vintages but I can’t imagine it. — 5 months ago
Had high hopes as this wine/vintage was an absolute stunner 7-8 years ago when I last had a bottle but this one was a bit shagged (as my newly minted MW friend likes to say). Hoping it’s just this bottle, but maybe it’s peak has long past. Slightly maderized and very little fruit left. Thin. — 5 months ago

Rioja
Nice rioja. Warmer than I like but it’s hot this summer. Smooth. Floral notes. Easy to drink. Low tannins. Great taste. Highly recommend. Didn’t even loose my taste for drinking after looking at my wife’s cut open finger from the knives i just sharpened. Dry, doesn’t make your mouth pucker. Gets better the more you drink. 9.2. 33$ great value.

Hugo’s menu, GM recommended. Soft, delicate. Light on the tongue, hints of tart fruit. — 5 months ago

The Don Rolando bottling was a tough act to follow, but this Cab Franc is equally impressive.
Perfumed nose of black cherry and plum layered with violet, pencil shavings, tobacco leaf, a subtle green herbal note that added freshness without becoming vegetal. The palate, almost Bordeaux like, is concentrated and layered, driven by vibrant acidity and stony minerality, with fine grained yet firm tannins. — a month ago
Started rough and really opened up. Perfectly paired with red sauce — 2 months ago

2001 vintage. Opened not decanted. Medium body. Lean throughout except for (still) substantial oak presence like a drone posse. Pretty. Maybe another decade diminishes the oak? It must have been overwhelming upon release. 10.2.26. — a day ago
