4/2/2010 - afterthewave Likes this wine: 88 pointsYes, a good gamy intro, fills the mouth and leaving a full finish. I have seen some poorer reviews of this but I liked it! |

2007 Villalta Ripasso della ValpolicellaCorvina Blend, Corvina more |
3/19/2010 - afterthewave Likes this wine: 86 pointsI find the blend of Corvina, Rondinella and Molinara a bit bland, but the Ripasso touch lifts it and provides a longer, lingering finish. Good amount of tannin and acidity, but light. I look forward to drinking it again. Would go well with lamb. |

2006 Château Les Inferets CorbièresRed Blend more |
3/7/2010 - afterthewave Likes this wine: 80 pointsIt has been over 30 years since I last visited this part of France. I remember strong, cheap, robust wine that went well with strong salty cheese. So I was expecting something similar. |

1998 Castillo de Calatrava La Mancha Gran ReservaTempranillo more |
2/25/2010 - afterthewave wrote: 82 pointsGood, but probably should have been drunk by now. Will not last much longer. Lots of berry and very dry. Bit gamey |

2006 Bodegas Valduero Ribera del Duero CrianzaTempranillo more |
2/13/2010 - afterthewave wrote: 85 pointsQuiet intro; plenty of cherry and long finish but could do with more time. The Tempranillo acidity is just right. Will look out for Yolanda Garcia Viadero's Reserva and Gran Reserva and next time I am in this part of the world I will check in at Gumiel del Mercado. |
