As only the second vintage of 890 I've tried I was immediately struck by the contrast the 2011 has compared with the 2010. Share a glass with the importer, he remarked that the 2011 is a more typical vintage for the 890. While 2010 presented with a richness and generosity, the 2011 has the hallmarks of a great Claret. Vibrant fruit with a subtle underlying lacing of oak, building in the glass, fruit slowly shining through. A fine line of acid adds to the impression of delicacy and restraint. Low
Garnatxa from Priorat, Catalunya
Granatxa = Grenahce. What ever you call it is truly delicious wine filled with personality and intrigue! High in the Montsant ranges, the Manyes vineyard is located at the remarkable altitude of 800 metres (the highest in Priorat). This cool, north-facing vineyard is only 1.4 hectares, and the vines are now about 54-years-old. While Les Tosses is planted to Cariñena on pure llicorella slate, Les Manyes is predominantly clay with elements of quartz and limestone and is planted almost exclusively
Cariñena or Carignan makes stunning wine, one thing is certain, Huber's top verision, is a spectacular! Domink's background as a Chef, perhaps his German ancestory and definitely his drive to make great wine appears to have lead to the perfect balance between art and science.There are two Vi d'altura or pinnacle wines that Huber produces: Les Tosses and Les Manyes. These are Terroir al Límit's grand cru Priorats as tasted through the prism of Cariñena (for Les Tosses) and Garnatxa (for L

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
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
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
“Sometimes prices seem disparate even if the wines are unique, and that seems to be the case for a one-off NV 100 Centenario Single Cask Pedro Ximénez, a sweet and dense wine with 17% alcohol and 490 grams of sugar. It's an extremely old wine from a single cask believed to be centenary, so it's to celebrate the first 100 years of the winery. It was bottled into 800 hand-numbered bottles. The wine has the characteristics of a very old Pedro Ximénez, very dark, opaque, dense and sweet but terr
Red Blend from La Rioja, Spain
Tasting the 1994 in May 2023 I was lost in the glass with the delicacy, perfume, vibrant red fruit, perfectly poised acid tannin complex. The sophistication, elegance and intoxicating perfume of the wine, simply astonishing. All from a wine held in barrel for 8 years and further 10 in bottle before release!The only current red Gran Reserva is the 1995 Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva, the one that is produced exactly the same as before, including fining with egg whites and sealing with red wa
