Monday, October 23, 2017 - XVIII Salón de los Mejores Vinos de España -Peñín; 10/23/2017-10/24/2017 (IFEMA - Madrid): In my view the change of guard continues. I mean dense wines, chocolate and ready to enjoy immediately. Bottles for American restaurants before an amateur's cave. Evolving without looking back. A pity.
And by the way, it is also a shame or a disgraceful, according to what you see, that you could not taste 890 or 904 visiting LRA stand.
A mis ojos sigue el cambio de guardia. Me refiero a vinos más densos, achocolatados y listos para disfrutar de inmediato. Botellas de restaurante norteamericano antes que de la bodega de un aficionado. Evolucionar sin mirar atrás. Una pena.
Y por cierto, también es una lástima o una vergüenza, según se mire, que no se pudiesen catar ni el 890 ni el 904.
