2014 Psi Ribera del Duero

To me the only problem of this wine is to be the younger brother of you know who... this wine keeps one impressing me, year after year, vintage after vintage.
This wine is a beast, a perfect tinder date for a grilled meat. Just opened another one to enjoy the remaining of the evening and some dark chocolate...
Powerful but suave in the mouth. Loving it.

2011 CARM (Casa Agrícola Roboredo Madeira) Douro Reserva

Very positively surprised with the ageing of this eur 10 bottle... CARM Reserva has been one of my favourite Portuguese wines for many years and am not deceived by this bottle! Intense, dark cherry notes on the palate. Not such a long finish but then again, we’re talking about a very reasonable entry market wine. Perfect on the first day of the summer with a nice fish on the grill. I’ll keep my other bottles for another year or two max.

2014 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Le Volte Toscana IGT

Notes of raspberry, cherry tomatoes, tobacco, and vanilla.
Probably a little passed it’s peak but still perfect with the weekly pasta with tomato sauce in front of a chamion’s league football game...:)
