2020 Stags' Leap Winery Merlot

A surprisingly pleasant merlot, given the relatively young age, which can be enjoyed now but will surely blossom over time. The pleasant tannins on the finish are beginning to integrate with the lovely fruit and acidity of this wine, but will surely mature into a stunner, given the price, in a few more years.

1999 Bodegas Toro Albala Don PX

Surely one of the finest dessert wines available today. Wow, that's quite a statement. I say this because of how unique this Pedro Ximenez sherry is. The color is very opaque, almost looks like very dark chocolate. The nose is complex with dried fruits like figs, plums and prunes dominant. The wine is viscous and velvety on the tongue. Yes, sweet, but not excessively sweet. This wine is dessert in itself and in my opinion should not be paired with your usual desserts, excepting for some appropriate cheeses or maybe judiciously poured over vanilla ice cream.

Expressive dark fruit nose and silky, well-balanced palate with spice notes on the finish. Drinking very nicely at this point in time.
