2007 Marguet Sapience
92 points
Salty and bone dry with an oxidative touch. It was interesting but I didn't find the "nerve" in this wine as others. But, clearly a very unique wine.

2014 Comando G El Tamboril Navatalgordo
88 points
Elegant but also slightly lacking in flavor.
It is certainly elegant and very dry but simply lacks the aromatics and acidity to make it interesting.

Lots of elderflower and big bodied fruit. Seems very atypical for this wine. Perhaps a warm vintage. Still nice though.

5-6 years old bottle and interesting to taste. Ripe and pure flavors and it performed very well.

1994 Château Lafleur
93 points
Great stuff and very classic. Lots of dried old game meat and "elephant cage". Very impressive wine for such a off vintage and it was just a beautifully developed wine.
Lots of aftertaste and flavor depth. Loved it.

Solid balance, manure, meat, coffee. Lovely wine but needs more time to really open up.

2007 Cayuse Syrah En Chamberlin Vineyard

Extremely funky but very classic for Cayuse :-)
Quite bitter and dry but still lush and light on the palate. Great acidity and balance.

1975 Bertani Recioto della Valpolicella Classico Superiore Amarone
92 points
Interesting touch of yeast but also tobacco and it has a lot of complexity. It does have a liqueur tone still which is impressive for such an old wine.
It is certainly still very much alive and kicking and drinking quite nicely.

1998 Bodegas Vega-Sicilia Ribera del Duero Único
96 points
Very dry but also very juicy and has a liqueur note to it. Still it has plenty of dark plum fruit and a hint of vanilla.
I just adored it and the acidity and overall balance is amazing. Huge wine that just needs a lot more time in bottle.

1975 Dow Porto Vintage
93 points
Very nicely developed and it is drinking perfectly now. Everything is very well integrated and the wine has a great balance.
Amazing wine and it most likely helped that this was from Magnum. It was decanted 2-3 hours in advance and served quite cold! 93-94p
