Quite complex but affordable wine with a smooth nice mixture of black berries, chocolate, oak, spices. Well integrated tannins and pretty long finish.

Elegant, herbaceous blend. Fennel, butter, minerals, peach. Medium acidity. Medium body. Very pleasant on the palate and in the nose.

Spices, pepper, menthol, oak leather. Closed and not intensive in the nose, but pronounced in the mouth (high alcohol of 15%) with layered body and grip tannins

I liked this vintage less than the previous ones. It is pretty close with a short finish. Probably too young to open.

Exceptional Chardonnay made in the typical style for the region. Intensive yellow color. Oaky, toasty, buttery, medium+ body balanced with a good acidity. Prolonged finish with flavours of peach and apple. Delicious!

This is very good Bourgogne (just need to give it one hour to breathe). Yellow color, warm aromas of citrus, but mainly minerals, wet stone, butter, vanilla. Grapefruit flavours. Medium acidity (this is a pity), medium body, long finish with a distinct bitterness.

Exceptional Barbera! It starts from the beautiful ruby color. Aromas of black berries, cherry, chocolate, herbs,
spices, eucalyptus. Medium+ body with high alcohol and nice tannins. Natural grape acidity is very well balanced with fruitiness. Long finish. Perfect wine for the dinner.

Elegant ruby color with aromas of cherry, raspberry, chocolate, plum, vanilla. Hint of leather and tar, can develop further. On a palate balanced mouthfeel medium body, strong tannins, long fruity finish.

This is quite unique Rioja. Almost no green aromas. Fruit-forward, mostly cherry and plum. Some vanilla, chocolate. High tannins. No tertiary aromas yet.

Rich, intense, jammy. Powerful and complex Primitivo. Notes of prunes, plum, cherry, chocolate. A bit earthy, scents of tobacco, cocoa. Full body, soft tannins, medium acidity, long finish. Wine for special occasions.

Bierzo is one of my favorite styles, it never disappoints. But this one from Paul Perez wineries is a real gem! Elegant power in every sip. It is still fruity with notes of cherry and blackberries, yet demonstrates earthy tones with mushroom and leather. Nice acidity is the backbone of this wine. Tannins are medium+, but they are not harsh at all. Overall it is perfectly balanced, real pleasure.

A bit hazy, but I would not define it as faulty. Fruit forward wine from Tenerife (Listán Negro with 10% of Castellana Negra). Pale ruby appearance, aromas of cranberry, cherry, pepper, and smoke. Brett (wild yeast?). Minerals, leather, and cedar on the palate. Medium body, medium+ finish.

Exceptional quality Sancerre. Floral, grassy, citrusy, with a lot of minerals, chalk, even salt. The acidity is high, but not harsh. Notes of butter and yeast. Long finish.

Wow, not expected much from Spanish Pinot Noir, bit this one from Utiel-Requena, Spain is exceptional. Medium-intensive ruby color with violet highlights. Complex nose, aromas of black cherry, cassis, liquorice, vanilla, but over the all smoky and meaty notes. Medium+ body, velvety tannins, cinnamon, toffee, spices. Prolonged silky finish. Delicious!!!
