Presented to me double blind at Tasting Group. The wine pours a deep ruby/purple color with an opaque core and some rim variation; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and some signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and some dried red and black fruits: Luxardo cherry, plum, cocoa, purple, dried flowers, vanilla, and fine warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+ and alcohol seems elevated. Initial conclusions: this could be a super Tuscan with a good amount of Merlot; a Merlot-based blend from Saint Emilion or a Tempranillo from Italy, France or Spain. I didn’t think this gave me enough Italian vibes to make me comfortable with Italy conclusion and I thought this had too much pretty French oak on it to be likely from Spain so I went with my gut and called this a Merlot based blend from France, Bordeaux, Saint Emilion, 2006. Ahhhhh…dang it, Remelluri likes to use French Oak barrique and it threw me off. Gotta remember there are some more modern producers making wine like that. Good stuff though! Drink now through 2040. — 14 days ago

Higher elevation fruit from Alta Rioja. 57% Tempranillo 38% Garnacha. Cool, herbaceous, restrained, dark fruit, chalky tannins. I like this a lot. Remilluri always kind of Burgundian in style. This should be smoking good in 3-4 years. — 2 months ago

1982 just slipping past the prime, still soft raspberry fruit, lots of cinnamon spice, fresh acidity holding it all together. Lots of moxie, a classic — 11 years ago
