12/13/15, 6:09 AM - Thanks Jerwin! I found this wine completely by accident, and after a favourable comparative tasting with an 01 Barolo from Brezza, I decided to buy whatever the store had left. Unfortunately this was only 4 bottles! I will keep an eye out for the 04; perhaps it hasn't made it to Barcelona yet.
9/30/15, 4:15 AM - Hey Buzzoff - agreed re: the QPR although it is worth mentioning that Spain is the land of excellent QPR! I think these wines are open to purchase sooner than they are ideal to drink - I have another 2 bottles of this and will consume in stages of 2 years. If you are paying 44 euros at a restaurant that is a very good price - in Barcelona it is 33-35 euros retail.
9/30/15, 8:20 AM - Ah lucky you - I have never been to a wine auction but I am sure it is fun! Should you ever find yourself in (currently not) sunny Barcelona, send me a message and let's see if I can break the Pintia QPR record. :)
10/2/15, 6:41 AM - Lovely! Funnily enough a slightly aged Hisenda Miret wine was one of the first truly good wines I tried in the city and my introduction to Catalan grenache (sorry, garnatxa!). Drank it for New Years in 2012 and never looked back. Definitely let me know, it would be a pleasure to share a glass. :)
9/13/15, 12:36 PM - Briefly saw this on the front page and couldn't stifle a laugh - I applaud your resourcefulness!
7/28/15, 1:14 AM - Hey Harley, thanks for the catch! I genuinely thought there was a mix of the two. I taste my wines without prior knowledge of the methods in that bottle in order to improve my analytical skills but looks like I got it wrong. Editing now. ;)
7/28/15, 10:40 AM - Greatly appreciated. :) Should you find yourself in sunny Barcelona, send me a message and pop along for a glass of wine!
7/8/15, 3:59 PM - Interesting! I am not so well acquainted with Bordeaux wines but glad that my analysis seems more or less correct. I may have to try and find another bottle to hold onto for a few more years. :)
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
