Give it half an hour and it turns into beautiful aged malbec with lots of secondary flavors. The next day leftovers were not nearly as good.

Still Tannic though drinkable with a couple of hours of air time. Good - yes, Great - No, and probably will only get marginally better.

10/17/2022 - megropolis Likes this wine: NR

I could not figure out why I expected it to be different until I found WA note that it is Merlot dominant. All the stuffing is there in this wine to be great, but it needs 5 years to really round out. So if I would rate, 90 now, expect 93 at maturity.

2014 R. López de Heredia Rioja Blanco Viña Gravonia

Viura, Macabeo more

10/13/2022 - megropolis wrote: NR

Oxi factor is there as usual. First day strong lemon peel taste overtakes but by day 2, it rounds out and goes on background and it becomes not a fruit driven wine, but by secondary characteristics. Kind of reminds you aging of the cheeses and works well with aged manchego.

This is really fun , done right,math of this goes like this pinot gris + savignon blanc = chenin blanc. This wine tastes like good Huet and priced in the same range. What you like more is your personal preference.

New to Rivesaltes. For me, not enough acidity to give it vibrancy, and it only got worse with each day bottle was open.

I get it , that I don't get it but I get it.
In less cryptic way, that would be - I understand that this is just not my style wine to wow but I understand the appeal and see the beauty for others and to some degree can appreciate myself. Definitely one of the better CDP 2007s and I could expand that category to much bigger scope of high octane wines but it can never be 'ultima Thule'.
