I'm not so keen on Rueda wines. But this one is always a good choice as a good qpr wine.

Pure grape juice!!. Really good right now. Black fruit and also some menthol note?! makes it fresh. Good body and medium/long finish. Really really good.

As always one of the best QPR in Spain. Modern in expression and sufficient mouth. Probably cellar will round it. But quite good right now.

7/10/2012 - bonjovibon wrote:

I don't know why but it was so closed and with a bitter note in the background that didn't make it as enjoyable as other times. Perhaps it wouldl have needed more air.

Less pleasant than previuos times. Perhaps acidity was a bit sharp. Nevertheless, enjoyable with a fish course.

As always really good blend.

Hard tannins and shy nose. Not very drinkable right now.

Good surprise. Excellent QPR. Massive in mouth and with good nose.

4/3/2012 - bonjovibon wrote:

Buff. Milk and yoghourt are very present because of its youngness?. Violet and watermelon also. But cover by vainilla and white chocolate. So so woody. Time will put this wine in its place. On the other hand doesn't have any defect.

Just an easy an obvious wine. Nothing special to mention.

2/17/2012 - bonjovibon wrote:

A hint of TCA made it not as enjoyable as the previous bottle.

2/17/2012 - bonjovibon wrote:

After 13 years in its perfect moment right now. Brick brown colour. Time is doing its work because has rounded the tannins I had detected 2 years ago. Elegant mouth with a complex nose.

Previously we had had a bottle of Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Côtes du Rhône. This wine clearly is more consistent and has more to say. Both are south wines but the Priorat one has what a wine of this region must have: earth nose, power but elegant and good finish.

1/28/2012 - bonjovibon wrote:

Easy young Cote du Rhone. Not too complex but enjoyable right now with a spice and ash note. Overall good.

1/17/2012 - bonjovibon wrote:

Good acidity and saline taste. Fantastic with a delicious fish course.

1/8/2012 - bonjovibon wrote:

Yes, it's a classic Rioja. I prefer this style: light and acid, than the new ones. But on the other hand vainilla and oak cover everything. I don't know if time will be enough to round the circle.

First of all, this is a 100% Graciano wine. Graciano is a complementary grape in Rioja. Puff, so different from the rest of Riojas. Deep in colour, you never think when you see it what you are going to find. Leather, meat, compote fruit, earth. Really good acidity. Syrah from northern rhone?. Wonderful and in its perfect moment. So so different from a Rioja made of Tempranillo. Contino only produces near 2.000 bottles per year. Lovely.

12/25/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

Totally decompensated. Acidity is sharp. Mouth is fallen down. And lastly, on nose you can't find any significant tempranillo note.

12/25/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

Perfect in a technical point of view. In the modern way wine. Chocolate and vainillas are in the first side but not covering the rest of the aromas. Behind you can have touriga nacional notes as violets. Good mouth and texture. The kind of wine that loves everyone in a table.

12/25/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

Really good. Good balance and beautiful spices and mineral nose. Just a bit more of acidity will have given it the perfect mouth.

12/12/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

Really modern style wine. Good work on it. A nice wine for people. Nothing special on it but if you bring it for dinner, probably everyone will like it.

12/8/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

Not too hot as it comes from a sunny part of Spain. Good balance with a bitter aftertaste (syrah perhaps?). Well, overall good.

As my previous note. Excellent.

11/13/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

Definetely time has do its work. Hard tannins have been softed. Modern coupage but excellent choice due to its price.

Delicious wine. Only a bit hard that a little time will polish it. Really good.

11/13/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

Modern in its way. But it's an excellent wine. With full taste on mouth and with a lovely nose. Not in the way of classic foudres ChdP wines but, however, continues making it magnificient. Drinkable right now.

Really good, as always.

11/1/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

As my previous note. If you like Ribera del Duero, this wine always is a good choice. Not an outstanding drink but always gives the minimum that you're looking for.

11/1/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

Wonderful wine. Still young but with a delightful character now. Actually, I think that right now is a pleasure to drink it. Pepper, earth and spices in mouth. Shy nose. Good body. As I said, a pleasure for the senses.

Who said that Albariño can't be aged? Wow, beautiful balance, really good acidity and mature enough to be enjoyable right now.

Fatty in mouth but without enough acidity.

Always a good value.

10/8/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

I really love this Ribeiro wine. I'm a bit tired of 100% albariño's wine. Here, treixadura gives a fatty mouth that blended with the good acidity and the albariño's floral note make a beautiful wine.

I'm not keen on la Ribera, but this wine always has the minimum of quality that you have to ask to a bottle.

Young with onlly 4 months in french oaks. Nothing special. Not so heavy or alcoholic. Overall good.

I'm not keen on verdejo but I have to admit that this one suprise me. You can find almost everything that you ask to this variety. Even the bitter taste at finish. Also it has a really qpr price.

15º but not too heavy. On the other hand, without body or character. Really easy wine.

Wow, really good acidity but shy on nose. In mouth was a bomb. Really good with different cheeses.

Alvaro Palacios gives to his wines a special character. Not as powerful and concentrate as other Priorats, did its work with a good piece of meat.

8/12/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

I have drunk recient vintages and this older vintage shows that this wine has character. Good body and acidity at 24.- Euros in restaurant. Wonderful QPR.

Drank it in the same dinner than 2005 Quinta Vale D. Maria, completely different wine. It was almost death. At least, we had a nice conversation comparing both wines.

Different profile than Douro wines. First of all the graduation, you will thank its 13º. Sweet tannins, still hard and with really good acidity. I would have liked to see it in a few years. Earthy and black fruit nose. Really good. Wonderful surprise. 91+.

7/11/2011 - bonjovibon wrote:

Reminds me to a spanish Txakolí. Light and with high acidity. Not too much body and with a shy nose but with a lovely mineral hint. Good with seafood pasta.

I agree completely with the last opinion. Earthy and bitter on mouth. Hard tannins.
