2019 José Luis Ripa Sáenz de Navarrete Rioja RIPA Vino Rosado
4/28/2024 - viniferatu Likes this wine:
Quick tastes, but this was clearly something very different and special. At first the oak was overpowering, but with a few hours of air it came together, with notes of red fruit, orange citrus, flowers, spiced pastries, a little something rosey and herbal... Full and dense on the palate, nice acid structure, and on the finish the oak is barely noticeable. Long and complex, beautiful fresh red fruit and pithy citrus, complex spice and minerals. This is great stuff, and will be worth following many years.

2020 Domaine de l'Ecu Muscadet de Sèvre-et-Maine Orthogneiss

So immediate and joyful, this is Muscadet with panache. Wow!
Aromas of pineapple, crunchy white peach, pear, citrus, white flowers, sweet almond, a little seabreeze too... Juicy and succulent on the palate, beautiful silky texture, awesome weight, subtle saline grip... Finish has gorgeous notes of pineapple, crunchy pear and flowers, while subtle mouthwatering stony and fruit skin tones lend significant intrigue. So good, the overt fruitiness here is irresistible. This rocks.

2021 Les Champs de l'Abbaye Monthélie Les Sous-Roches

This has mellowed and deepened over the past several months, but it's still primary, zippy, tart... Should be worth following many more years.
