  • NV Barbadillo Manzanilla pasada en rama de la Pastora 91 Points

    Spain, Andalucía, Manzanilla de Sanlúcar de Barrameda

    Pale lemon. Bready briny aromas and a little walnut. A clear lemon zing on the palate, with some fresh acids, brine, bread yeast, and nuts. A pretty pleasant one

  • NV Equipo Navazos La Bota de Fino 27 "Macharnudo Alto" 86 Points

    Spain, Andalucía, Jerez-Xérès-Sherry

    Pale tawny. Some savoury and bready aromas, and a good measure of walnuts. The flavours are not as impressive though, with a somewhat sourish lemony development. Not exactly my fave sherry, but at least I guess it’s still classically made

  • NV Barbadillo Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Obispo Gascon Palo Cortado 91 Points

    Spain, Andalucía, Jerez-Xérès-Sherry

    A strong reddish brown hue. Pronounced walnut aromas, toffee, some blue cheese mold, and even a nuance of shells and seaweed. Flavours are mainly briny, seafood, shells, walnut, hazelnut, and even a tinge of soy. A hard and edgy drink, but I do appreciate the complexity. Very persistent nuttiness and woodiness, lasting more than a minute

  • NV Barbadillo Jerez-Xérès-Sherry Cuco Oloroso Seco 93 Points

    Spain, Andalucía, Jerez-Xérès-Sherry

    Deep brown. Aromas somewhat restrained, of hazelnut, coffee and cream. Briny but full of hazelnut and praline flavours, and caramel. Some moldy characters at the back, and a long finish with the moldy fungals, and coffee cream. Soft, and really pleasant

  • NV Barbadillo Pedro Ximénez Jerez-Xérès-Sherry La Cilla 91 Points

    Spain, Andalucía, Jerez-Xérès-Sherry

    Deep, dark brown, and very thick and syrupy. Strong radishy aromas with a slight hint of raisins and coffee liquor. On the palate, raisins completely dominate, and even shows a somewhat scorched, roasted character. Lots of heat and power. Definitely a hit with sweet wine lovers

Flight 4 - Red (6 Notes)

  • 2016 4 Kilos Vi de La Tierra Mallorca 4 Kilos 89 Points

    Spain, Balearic Islands, Vi de La Tierra Mallorca

    Pale ruby, with a starlight brightness, thick legs. Pronounced ripe strawberry jam aromas, and a bit of quince. Acidic, simple with low tannins, but a lot of heat, with ripe strawberry and rocket leaves, and slightly tea-like towards the back. Finish was fair at most

  • 2015 Dominio do Bibei Ribeira Sacra Lalama 92 Points

    Spain, Galicia, Ribeira Sacra

    Quite a good ruby depth. Aromas of blackberry, cassis, parsley and mint. Some acids, tannins, sour cherry flavour, cassis, and a twist of slight caramel and butterscotch at the back. Fair length. Pretty nice!

  • 2015 Bodegas y Viñedos San Roman Toro Viña San Román 91 Points

    Spain, Castilla y León, Toro

    Deep ruby, thick legs and highly extracted. Pronounced rose floral aromas, as well as red cherry, leaf and twigs. Acidic, tannic, high alcohol, mostly red cherry and floral stamen flavours with a back of grass and twigs, and then a bit of caramel. Rather short though

  • 2012 Bodegas Roda Rioja Roda I Reserva 91 Points

    Spain, La Rioja, Rioja

    Medium ruby, and a good brightness. Somewhat greenish aromas, of green fern and herbs, on top of blackberry and cherry. Tannic, high alcohol, medium bodied blackberry and cherry flavours, and some rose, and tar. Quite a good classic feel

  • 2009 La Rioja Alta Rioja Gran Reserva 904 95 Points

    Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja

    Pale ruby with fading garnet edges, and a starlight brightness. Very developed nose, with coffee, cocoa, truffles, forest floor, moss aromas. Rounded tannins, some alcohol punch, chocolate, charcuterie, mesquite smokes, and some roses and red cherries show up at the back. Very complex, and a great length. Impressive!

  • 1996 Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Único 97 Points

    Spain, Castilla y León, Ribera del Duero

    Deep purple, with edges slightly browning and fading. A refined nose, with blackberry and blueberry aromas, as well as olives. Started the palate attack slowly, but quickly gains traction as the blueberry fruits ripen, and then the olives, tea and coffee comes about. Powerful, complex, yet still having a nice freshness. A finish that lasted minutes. Can tell why this wine is so costly. Great one! Very impressed by this
