Vintage Porto 2016

A solid inexpensive vintage port. Drinking it too young but whatevs. I love the deep rich fruit. Not complex and still quite tannic. But nice minerality underneath. I’d like to revisit in 10 years. — 4 months ago

@Doug Powers - Yes, but that was very tricky because the bottle is opaque.

@Doug Powers - And it was only a quick decant. Long story but I hadn’t expected there’d be a post-meal call for Port from this particular crew!

Flowers Vineyard & Winery

Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2017

Sparkling red roses throughout with an abundance of fresh raspberries, strawberries and rose hips. This may be the junior Pinot noir from Flowers but is worth every penny. — 7 years ago

Marqués de Cáceres

Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

I remember drinking this in 1999 when I was in Spain during my junior year of college. Sure, it’s among the most mainstream of Riojas...but perhaps for good reason? — 8 years ago

Château Roc de Cambes

Côtes de Bourg Red Bordeaux Blend 2014

Côtes de Bourg is a Bordeaux region that many don’t know that delivers incredible wines for a fraction of the price of other regions. This higher priced bottle at £40+ sure delivers an amazing wine that would be triple in St Emilion & made by the folks from Tertre Rôteboeuf & called “the junior Tertre Rôteboeuf“ 👍 Drinking great young but will improve 😉

Ziereisen

Baden Blauer Spatburgunder 2013

First impression was wowthisisaprettylegitsmoothoperator Pinot. Restrained, upper class type stuff, not too much if anything to attract unnecessary attention. Dignified. I remembers this was the more junior Ziereisen I bought, so I was curious the ticket. $24. FO this is a $24 Pinot. Hat tip: @Lyle Fass — 9 years ago
