Don Alfonso Classic Pairing (Don Alfonso, Toronto): Very nice, and quite interesting. Included some complex notes, with perhaps a hint of something like mint. (With curated food pairings in long meal; notes unfortunately recorded after, so no detailed notes; not scored.)

De prime abord le vin n’offrait pas la finesse espérée, mais aéré en carafe il s’est délié, assoupli, posé pour nous proposer une superbe expérience ibérique. Texture élégante, ronde, dorée de tanins superbement fins, ponctuée par une acidité subtile et rafraîchissante. La gamme aromatique sur les fruits rouges, les épices, une pointe légèrement florale (violette séchée) est plutôt gourmande, mais c’est vraiment pour sa tessiture fraîche et raffinée que je l’ai apprécié.

Corked, too bad... but it was barely corked and amazing spice and flowers really came through

tasted blind, I was thinking elegant Garnacha, but Mencia was on my radar... too bad this was corked, it's clearly a gorgeous wine

This pours medium ruby in the glass. Aromatically lovely on opening but boy is this singing after 24 hours of air. Aromatics are intense and complex showing dark pomegranate, juicy dark cherry, cinnamon, musky animal fur, peonies, rose petals, white pepper, botanicals, and leather. The palate is also wonderful entering on dark pomegranate. Tannin is medium minus with medium plus acid. The finish closes harmoniously on leather, smoke, and pomegranite molasses. Medium plus in length. All in all this is just a wonderful wine that keeps improving. Bumping it up one point and I'm not sure it's done. Absolutely love the fresh and vibrant fruit, structure, drinkability, and complexity of this wine. Wish I had more, but now down to three bottles. Stylistically I think this is somewhere between Northern Rhone Syrah and cool climate Caliornia Pinot Noir.

I wanted to give sign this as spoiled but my friends told me this is probably it's smell..so well..stable..bad egg..I bought this after trying their more entry level Alhambra thinking (wrongly) that this would just be the much better version and I was so wrong. Palate more interesting but that smell..which didn't go even after few hours open. Well not my type of wine.

Glowing cloudy plum red color. Really energetic nose of pomegranate and hints of black earth. Lots of volatile acidity; very light, sour wine, in which you can taste red berries and volcanic mineralogy. Not to my liking.

Fresh, mineral wine with a simple and clean finish. Black cherries on the palate lead some earth and savory spices.

This goes down easy, and probably would've been better chilled in an outdoor bbq type situation. Drinking it alone, the lack of structure and one dimensionality make it a bit boring after a few sips.

Would buy again, just in a more appropriate venue.

So delicious that I had to open my second (and final) bottle as well. Identical to my previous note. Such floral fragrance, fruity charm and silky elegance. Will age, but it is so beautiful now.

Three years since my last bottle, and I continue to sing this wine's praises despite it's not appealing to everyone. What I love are the herbal notes. The potpourri of herbs add richness, complexity, and body to dried/dehydrated fruit flavors of raspberry and cranberry. One friend was ambivalent and called this a "food wine". That's not my take. I prefer the dry herbal notes without food, because food can mask or overwhelm the wine, and I enjoy the dry herbal notes unaccompanied. Another friend was more complimentary. I think the Envinate Canary Island reds are singular and fully worthy of the Wine Advocate praise. One friend liked this at cellar temperature upon pop and pour, but I preferred it with some warmth and air, which softened enhanced a round herbal mouthfeel.

deep gold. nose with crazy reduction, takes hours to dissipate and still there to a smaller degree after a day. underneath there is a lava rock, dried honey, tarragon, lemon zest, and preserved lemon. light bodied with tremendous enamel stripping acidity on par with many high-toned rieslings. the palate is like biting directly into fresh sliced lemon and shows smacking minerality. lengthy finish. well made but needs a decant and food to show best today. it is fresh and crisp now but to me has the bones of a wine that may shine brightest in 5+ years. not unlike a white rioja in that regard, albeit with a distinctly leaner citric character.

Dinner at 312 Fish Market (Chicago, IL): Something a little too natty with this, so it tasted a little off for my taste. Nowhere as good as the Táganan. This has some modest salinity but also some off notes that really detract from the overall quality of the wine for me. High acidity.

This pours very light cloudy ruby in the glass with some pink and purple toward the watery rim. The nose on this is just incredible, opening over the course of a couple of hours to show white pepper, black pepper, wet soil, blooming roses, pomegranate, leather, turkish delight, and wet hay. The palate is bright, tart and red fruited with some saline character. Tannin is medium minus with high acid. The finish is a tad bitter and clipped, medium minus in length. The nose here is the highlight, expansive and complex, easily a 93+ point nose. The palate is light and elegant but turns just a bit too bitter without enough fruit to carry it, holding this back from a higher score.

4/16/2024 - sjw_11 wrote: 88 points

Mostly Alicante Bouchet with I believe a percentage of a different local grape. This is purple in colour and fairly purple in flavour with notes of lilac and black cherry but also a slightly savoury element. Certainly it's not purple in the sense of being dark, rather it's quite open and a touch lean. The finish is a bit short for me especially considering the price which, north of £20, is a stretch in my view. Still an enjoyable wine.

A new village red at Envinate. A blend of 89% Mencia with Brancellão, Merenzão, Grao Negro, and Garnacha Tintorera (Alicante Bouschet) among others, gneiss, schist and quartz soils, whole cluster fermentation, foot trodden, fermented with indigenous yeasts in open vats, matured in neutral French oak barrels of different sizes, bottled November 2022, 12.5% ABV. The result is a delightfully fruit-driven, floral wine, open and attractive, creamy strawberries and a touch of white pepper, peaches and roses, fragrant and elegant, a seamless and silky texture, transparent and precise, cool minerality, firm but finely grained tannins, and a flowing finish with very good resonance and length. Toute en finesse, with the exception of the tannins which are a bit earthy and borderline austere. Time may soften the tannins, but I don't think that this will ever be more delicious than it is today.

Medium gold with an orange sheen. Fresh citrus, floral and tropical aromas with a pronounced marine note overlaying it all. Medium-bodied, almost viscous through the mid-palate with a saline, oyster shell, and mineral finish. Well-judged acidity. This was a match made in heaven with raw oysters on the half-shell, seared scallops and prawns. I really enjoyed this bottle and will not hesitate to buy again.

Pall Mall 67 - Singapore. This is very matt in taste. Very fresh. Great complexity for low ABV ofv11.5%. Shows flavour intensity does not need high alcohol. Very tactile. Great freshness but the acidity becomes gradually apparent at the back-end to propel the finish. In my wheelhouse style-wise, very much for lovers of classically proportioned wines, leaning austere

Only 12% alcohol (seldom in those days…). The first sip seemed to be lean, but it developed much more depth and complexity within 20 minuten. My best Envinate so far, and a clear re-buy for me. Best slightly cooled at about 14-15 degrees celcius. 93 (+?).

I finally found a way to sufficiently aerate Envinate. See photo!

After 5 hours like this we melted the astringent, rubbery reduction, leaving a boundary of stone under which lived a pulsating core of crystalline red fruit.
