Un joyita en la visita a Sacha. Bastante abierto desde el inicio, fruta blanca madura pero chispeante, un fondo como vegetación, la sombra debajo del arbol, frescura. Mineralidad incipiente, polvora (la pistola siempre cargada de Emilio), sedoso, con mucho recorrido, pero discreto, final amargo de pomelo.

Incomprendida para algunos y deliciosa para otros. Finura en nariz y amplio recorrido en boca con un rico amargor en el postgusto. Abundante y profundo. Para creer en el Ribeiro...

Delicate, mineral nose of pomelo and sweet citrus. There's still hints of caramel, overall it is subtle and fresh. Somewhat refreshing on the palate, medium accidity. Lovely.

Emilio Rojo 2009-2012: Milky sweetness, very mild milk caramel on the nose. Fine and soft aromatics, hint of gasoline, wood, metallic - good development over time. Soft and well balanced on the palate, green quince, very long, a bit tart finish. Midpalate felt empty.

Assuming that not everyone understands this producer, nor in general Ribeiro wines, this time comes in an ultra-light yellow colour. More than a simple marketing operation. Complexity to the bone on the nose of a quality Treixadura well assembled with other varietals. Aniseed notes of undergrowth, a bakery and carbides. This time the big thing is in a smart mouth with balanced acidity and a surprising finish. A default? This is certainly a very short bottle, vintage does not help, for the standards to which we are accustomed from the son of Mrs. Bangueses, which I'm still his loyal fan. The bottle was coming directly from the refrigerator so better if you let it warm naturally so that last drink, God thanking, was the best. Roast pheasant was a deal.
Asumiendo que no todo el mundo entiende a este productor, ni en general a los vinos del Ribeiro, esta vez se presenta de un color amarillo ultra-pálido. Complejidad son límites en nariz de una Treixadura de calidad bien ensamblada con otras varietales. Esto es más que una simple operación de marketing. Notas anisadas a sotobosque, a pastelería y a carburos. Pero esta vez lo grande se encuentra en una boca elegante con una equilibrada acidez y un sorprendente retrogusto. ¿Un defecto? Seguramente se trata de una botella muy corta, la añada no ayuda, para los estándares a los que nos tiene acostumbrados el hijo de la señora Bangueses, del cual sigo siendo su más fuel seguidor. La botella estaba recién sacada del refrigerador y resultó inventemos dejarla calentarse de firma natural de forma que la última copa, vaya por Dios, fuese la mejor. Un faisan al horno, menudo amiguete.

My first bottle of this. It's very complex, on the one hand the aromas are delicate, floral, and elegant. Yet there is depth, richness and creaminess (malo, lees? - this is said to be all stainless) as well. Well worth seeking out - a gem!
A private dinner (Restaurant Amador ***, Mannheim, Germany): Treixadura, Loureiro and Lardo. Sea breeze, minerals, subtle notes of herbs and citrus, deep, very pure, great sense of place; fresh like a mountain stream, dry but not acidic, intense but light as a feather, tension and elegance; very good length.
The wine is clear and bright with a pale lemon-green colour and presence of legs. The nose is reduced as hell, with medium+ intensity notes of corpse, boiled cabbage, sewer and garlic. After one hour or so it just smelled of garlic, green bell pepper with hints lemon peel and fresh herbs. It is dry in the mouth with a medium+ acidity. It has medium alcohol and medium body. It has medium+ intensity flavours of green bell pepper, garlic, hints of lemon and fresh herbs.
It is a poor quality wine, at least at this moment. Maybe it was amazing in the past, but currently it is just a collection of mercaptans/thiols. I would not dare to cellar it longer, and I'm quite sure it was not a flawed bottle since a lot of bottles were opened and blind tasted by 240 persons. Maybe it is still possible to rescue some of its original character with a long and thorough aeration.

Best Emilio Rojo ever! Happy cause I've a few bottles in my cellar. Minerality at its best. A thousand of wild flowers on your nose. Palate is delicate yet dense, sappy and with a bitter finish that announces a long persistence. Marvellous. At Restaurant Sanxenxo, Ortega y Gasset 40, in Madrid with my partridge Beatriz.
¡El mejor Emilio Rojo de siempre! Feliz porque tengo una pocas botellas en mi bodega. Mineralidad en lo mejor. En tu nariz mil flores silvestres. En boca es delicada aún densa, sabrosa y con un final amargo que anuncia una larga persistencia. Maravilloso. En el restaurante Sangenjo, Ortega y Gasset 40, en Madrid con mi perdiz Beatriz.

Just outstanding wine. Took an hour to open up. Darn I hope nobody else discovers this. I don't get much of an allocation as it is.

Riesling Blitzkrieg by FC1910; 3/11/2016-3/12/2016 (Teatro Campos Elíseos - Bilbao): Misunderstood or delicious for some and for others.
Finesse on the nose and in the mouth with a very good length in a rich bitterness at the aftertaste. Rich and deep.
To believe in Ribeiro...
