2009 R. López de Heredia Rioja Rosado Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia

First time having this wine and first time decanting a rosé! Beautiful deep salmon color and an expressive nose of dehydrated cherries, red potpourri, and dill.
Palate of cherry, strawberry, orange peel, herbs/garrigue, and marcona almonds. Med+/Long finish. Unlike any rosé we’ve ever had and definitely worth seeking out.

Color: Clear/Med/Garnet
Nose: Clean/Med (Intensity)/dried cherries, graham crackers, and dried thyme
Palate: Dry/Med+ (Acid)/High (Tannin)/Med+ (Body)/dried cherries, garrigue, cola, dark cacao, plums, mince meat/Med+ (Finish)
Quality: Very Good
Notes: Decanted for 60 minutes. Complex wine, but could benefit from another 2-3 years of oak integration and maturity.

NV El Maestro Sierra Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Amontillado 1830

Complex nose of hazelnuts, caramel, blood orange, tobacco leaf, and toast. Ethereal on the palate. So much going on, but with the addition of saline and near weightlessness. The finish goes on 60 seconds+. An amazing wine and my top sherry experience to date.
