Red Blend from Alavesa, La Rioja
Trying 2021 ‘La Conenada’s’ brother 'El Escolladero' along with a few other wines from the Artuke range was enough to convince me to grab a couple of boxes. I've not looked back.The 2022 'La Condenada is a little more tightly coiled with a chalky acid profile needing time to resolve. Excellent transparency through an elegant fruit profile of fine red fruits with sold depth and length. Opening in the glass beautifully, building mid-palate weight and length with a fantail finish. Flowi
Palomino from Jerez de la Frontera, Anadlucía
This isn't your grandmother's Sherry.Made in the style of bygone regional traditions, the De La Riva Vino de Pasto is an non-fortified aromatic table wine made with Palomino from the El Notario plot in pago Macharnudo. It ages under flor for 10 months, which gives distinctive Fino notes: brine, bruised apples and a mineral tang. Despite Palomino's naturally low acidity the wine vibrant and juicy on the tongue, which complements the textural nature of the palate and its savoury flavour profil
The 2015 Granja Remelluri Gran Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha from their estate vineyards. It fermented with indigenous yeasts and matured in barrels of different origins and sizes for 27 to 29 months. The wine shows superb, an undated style of Gran Reserva, using grapes from the three different valleys they have in Remelluri to create their grand vin. It has a classical style, but the oak and the evolution is slower, and the texture shows more of the limestone from the soils. Th
Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles, Anadlucía
17% ABV. “The 1980 Don PX Selección is said to come from a warm and dry year that favored the raisining of the Pedro Ximénez grapes. This has lots of candied fruit and spice and combines the 17% alcohol with a whopping 340 grams of residual sugar. This aged in American oak butts until its bottling in September 2018. It surprised me with a complex and somewhat savory nose, reminiscent of bitter chocolate, licorice and roasted coffee, carob beans and black pepper. It's super concentrated, dens
Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles, Anadlucía
“The oldest, most concentrated, nuanced and serious from the range of single-harvest sweet wines I tasted this time was the 1943 Don PX Ginés Liébana, which comes from six butts that had been aging in the cellars without being blended. It has 15% alcohol and a whopping 440 grams of sugar, but the truth is, it doesn't come through as that sweet. It's super concentrated, layered and complex, thick and dense, like honey. This is the more serious and canonical, dare I say it, closer to the Jerez
Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles, Anadlucía
“My favorite of all the old sweet PXs I tasted this time was the perfumed and showy 1964 Don PX Convento Selección, which still has the wooden label, but it has also been modernized and made easier to read. It is denser than any of the other wines and has a brighter edge, amber, because the center is opaque and black. It has an incredible perfume; it's floral and spicy with fresher aromas than I remember in the other sweet PXs. It fills your mouth, goes down your throat like liquid gold and e
Pedro Ximénez from Montilla-Moriles, Anadlucía
“The 1977 Don PX Convento Selección has a high-pitched and acute note of caramelized orange peel that gives it a distinct and perhaps more forward profile. It matured in Amontillado casks for over 45 years without being blended, and it aged in different parts of their cellars throughout its life, which they say might add to its complexity. It has 16% alcohol and 395 grams of sugar, not as dense as the others and with a distinct note of cinnamon in the finish. This is gentler, showier, per
Thrilled to be able to offer my thoughts on this special wine. Lunch with the full current release set from La Rioja Alta was thrilling. The wines are a demonstration of respect for the past and judicious use of modern technology combined with an approach that offer a style reminiscent of a refreshed classic. No fads here!Exceptional depth and length, wonderful core of vibrant red fruit flowing through with great persistence. Building the secondary proportion of flavours to fruit over the A
Powerful yet complete and fresh, beautifully developed, just shifting into the second phase. A very thoughtful élévage, structural tannins hitting front mid palate (from oak), still fine long. A lift of VA that blows off quickly. Lovely set of flavours. Oppulence. Rich, full, and round with immediate generosity. A case of celebrating the differences with the 2015 iteration.Paul Kaan, Wine Decoded May 2026I tased again the stellar 2016 Gran Reserva 904, which is nothing short of bei
Red Blend from Ribera del Duero, Castilla y León
The 2021 Flor de Pingus is a village wine from La Horra, made with small vinifications by plot and then a blending exercise, so it’s the wine they feel is most their style. They look for texture, looking for a delicate and elegant wine. The nose is very subtle and harmonious, super clean and with a lot of focus. There are no traces of oak on the nose.The profile of the wine is more in line with 2018 or 2016 than with 2015 or 2019. This has a velvety texture, an elegant mouthfeel and so
Red Blend from San Vicente de la Sonsierra, La Rioja
The single-vineyard red 2021 Camino de Ribas comes from a plot, La Cóncova, under the Toloño peak close to Rivas de Tereso, a hamlet from San Vicente de la Sonsierra, possibly the coolest zone, with a north-facing exposure, a place with shallow soils with sand, limestone and sandstone and full of aromatic herbs. It's a blend of 50% Tempranillo, 40% Garnacha and the rest Viura, Jaen, Garnacha Blanca, Palomino and other white varieties. It fermented with a long and soft vinification with some wh
Garnacha from Gratallops, Priorat
I had the pleasure of devouring the 2016 about 18 months ago over an aged scotch fillet with a friend. A wine of presence and importance. Along with the other Priorats I've had from Àlvaro it's clear he's got it right in both the vineyard and the winery. After all, to make a wine like the legendary L'Ermita you need mad skills!Even just after landing in the country when wines are a little out of sorts from shipping across the world, the perfume builds in the glass with all the trademark
