2012 Martinez Lacuesta Rioja Reserva
3/11/2024 - Monsieur le Comte Likes this wine: 91 Points
Classical Rioja with a well-integrated acidity, ruby-red colour (12 years left their mark...), cherry and rusty nails, raw flesh/filet, majoram, a hint of smoke, quite a bit vanilla in the nose..., earth, a bit white pepper and sweet leather, boiled red plum, vanilla again, american oak but typically Rioja!
91++ and at its peak, I'd say.
PS: Crème Brûlée in the finish, lactic somehow but after 1,5h in carafe.

2009 Arnaldo-Caprai Montefalco Sagrantino Collepiano
10/31/2023 - Monsieur le Comte Likes this wine: 94 Points
sour in the beginning, raw meat, mouthwatering and alcoholic...
moss-berry, red fruit - leather, anise, graphite, dark chocolate, medium fruit, rust, red wine chocolate cake, tart...tannins become smoother
after 2,5h decanting time it gets very dense, long sweet-tannic aftertaste, still on the cooler way, not too warm, altough fine/ripe and sweet tannins (but dark somehow!)...
drank out of a Riedel Burgundy glass
It really tastes like a barolo in the end, very sweet and dark at once...nice!

2016 Bodegas Valduero Ribera del Duero Crianza

Plum, rubber, smoke, earth - licorice, cherry marmelade...
Somehow it reminds me of a Bordeaux, quite deep and dark in relation to most other RdDs, still sweet!
