Til påskelammet.

Som forventet: tobakk, krydder, modne bjørnebær.
Herlig konsentrasjon og lengde til prisen.

Decanted three hours before tasting during our Monday Night Wine tasting…a nice wine. Went well with lamb. Sour cherries, oak and good acid…this was a blind tasting and most guessed Rioja. I wouldn’t be surprised if this improves with a little age.

Read somewhere that it needed 9 hrs decanting, not so, pretty approachable with cold cuts 'n cheese 'n fruit 'n bread. Turning brown around the edges of the wine glass, though.

Drukket på Radegast Vinbar med Alex og Thor Ole. Delt på tre og drukket over drøyt to timer. Det var en to timers reise i ulike smaker, så å bedømme den ut i fra et statisk tidspunkt, ville ikke blitt riktig. Vinen åpner seg først ordentlig etter 1,5 time. Nyansene i den brente duften er interessante og det er først mot slutten av smakingen at det lukter eik. Når den åpner seg blir også syren mer merkbar og det kommer en lett sødme.

Deep ruby colour. Medium (+) and developing nose with red plum, licorice, tobacco, leather, vanilla, cedar, chocolate, coffee, forest floor, mushrooms and wet leaves. Medium (+) taste of red plum, licorice, tobacco, cedar, forest floor, wet leaves, vanilla, mushrooms and black pepper. Long and dry finish it’s. High acidity. Medium tannins. Medium body. A very good Rioja that has matured well. Drink now or over the next ten years. Goes well with beef, duck, lamb or pork.

Took to a Spanish wine lunch. There were 2 other 2005's there, a Pintia and a Flor de Pingus, both of which opened up more than the LdH, though the FdP was tight for a while. A good but muted showing, but since it was my bottle half of it went home and was retasted about 8 hours later, at which point it it would have been the WOTD of 6 reds. Balanced, suave, elegant. So, a decant is advisable at present. (91 @ lunch, 93-94 late night)

Lopez never maps to the vintage charts, does it? This is one of the most pleasurable Bosconias in years. It has all the trademark feminine, Burgundian elegance but the fruit is warm and still halfway between youthful ripeness and its autumnal stage. It also has a smokiness on the back end that made it a remarkably synergistic, even synaesthetic, wine pairing with applewood smoked vegetables.

Light and lifted and tart. This is not a young wine, but comes across incredibly youthful. Really needs a lot time. Still fresh at 9pm despite being opened in afternoon.

1/7, excellent cork. Decanted and immediately served,
Nose a bit reticent at first but soon opens up to reveal dark, smoky fruit, notes of old leather and sea salt and just a touch of tobacco. Medium bodied on the palate, dark leathery fruit on initial entry, refined tannins - this has softened nicely, middleweight with lots of salinity coming through on the back of the mid-palate, fresh acids, good length finish with a touch of grip right on the tail end. Lovely, and now drinking well.

Vanilla bean crème, unripe cherry, dill, earth/barnyard notes, herbal notes. Old school rioja, and dare I say this can go many years or needed more air. I probably underestimated the amount of air (2hrs) this could take.

Rioja aficionados will appreciate it for what it is…others, maybe not so much.

Wine #25 and my notes at this point are a little hard to read. But I *think* we found all the charms of aging red LdH here with ample dark red fruits, strawberry compote and spice. It kind of swung in and out of being fleshy and reserved. Where LdH can have a lot of variation, this was an excellent bottle.

Vicki's. Straight from the bottle, fruit showing a lot more black than red right now with dusty earth and some baked tones. Not flawed, just not prepared to enter this world yet so it didn't come across with either Rioja or LdH typicity. Needs rest.

Served at about 55F. Minerally and dry with rose petal fruit, a tiny bit of orange rind and the light sherryish note typical of so many LdHs--more so than a stunning 2008 opened about two years ago. A good bottle, but not a great one.

Concur on the cherry, old wood and leather. Rather dry. Still drinking well, but likely on the backside of its peak. Would drink by end of next year for those still with bottles. Properly cellared.

Tasted blind in a flight of six Iberian wines.
Dusty with some red and dark fruit on the nose. Modest. Fresh acidity.
Feels like it’s in between phases. I would wait 5-10 years for this one because right now it’s a bit disappointing. Easy to pick as a Rioja.

Drak med Mussi.
Flot farve. Alder. Duft efter kort tid. Sveske på fornuftig baggrundsmåde. Mørke bær. Dufter lidt Gevrey med alder.
Smager som duft. Stadig god syre. God balance. Tannin på læberne. Køb gerne mere.

Natural cork. Ruby in the glass with a garnet rim. For a lower ABV wine it has quite a bit of alcohol on the nose, floral, and light raisin notes. Medium light body, certainly on the more delicate side of reds, a lot of acidity leading to some tart cherry flavour, tannins are still noticable.

65% Tempranillo, 25% Garnacha, 10% Mazuelo and Graciano. Average 40-year-old vines. 90,000 bottles made. At least 3 years in used American oak and 3 years in bottle before release. Moderately expressive nose of bright red fruit and balsamic, tobacco, mild oak notes. The palate is more expressive with medium-light bodied and tangy red fruit, a touch of vanilla and no hard edges. Easy to drink. Great with food. Relatively low alcohol at 13.5%. This reminds me more of Chianti than most modern Rioja today. Not yet on tertiary notes, so still has time to age.
