January 9, 2012 - To decant or not? 2006 Pinot Noir and a few more: I have not had this since release. Not the greatest vintage, this wine is still going strong. A few of us did wonder how Garnacha can make a black wine. In any event, the nose has plums, raspberries, and vanilla. On the palate, this is not as big as I was expecting. It is youthful with a nice complexity. Juicy texture. Nice balance. Mostly black raspberries but some dark cherries. Nice finish.

8/13/2008 (link)(AQUILON) Spain Dear Friends, ...a few more noteworthy wines from Iberia while I am in the air. I will let you figure out how I just sent this from 38,000 ft (it has something to do with GSM and satellites)... 2004 Vinas del Cenit (Vino de la Tierra de Zamora) STRICT LIMIT 24/person From the top 2004 vintage, here is a wine a number of you have asked for so here it is - with perfect provenance at an eye-opening price: 2002 Bodegas Alto Moncayo "Aquilon" (Aragon) EXTREMELY LIMITED This is another wine I've had a lot of requests for and while I wouldn't be able to stomach it, my job is to provide you with the lowest prices and the finest provenance. I offer plenty of high-acid/no fruit wine all year (that many of you can't stomach) so turn-about is fair play... 2003 Benjamin Romeo "La Vina Andres" (Rioja) EXTREMELY LIMITED 200 bottles for the entire US and I actually could stomach this - in fact it's serious wine. Thank you, Jon Rimmerman Garagiste Seattle, WA Spain9210 Spain9220 Spain9230
