  Better than the very candied 2016 Las Iruelas that I opened a couple of months ago but still similar in style. Natural, earthy nose with lots of spice, more than a passing resemblance to a fruit-bomb Bojo. Still not fully convinced by this producer.

  Day 1 if pinot was no fun. More austere than elegant, more admirable than enjoyable, and the stemmiest mofo I ever hope to endure. Wonder if this test is doctrinaire, either in technique or a need to epater le Parkereoisie? I hope this authenticity blows off tomorrow, but for now, F this hippy
  
  3/5 stems defer to a bit of licorice, and I respect the technique to get a wine that tastes higher than its listed 14.5 to simultaneously feel relatively weightless, but the drop off from the elegance and specificity of pinot to the vagueness of grenache is simply insurmountable to me. Oh, the humanité!
  
  3/6,7 Indistinctly elegant. @$18, might get again and be more patient with it. Chiseled grenache; silk purse, sow's ear? Idk...

  Supper at Franks (Frank's place in Matraville): Savoury, a little wood glue, nail varnish remover, biscuit, gamey and funky over red berries, crushed rock, a little menthol and alcohol warmth on the nose. Plentiful chalky tannins, alcohol warmth, sweet red fruit struggles beneath plenty of minerality and spice. Hmm, it's a bit bolshy and out of whack for me.

  Pale garnet colour. Vibrant nose of raspberry, bramble, kirsch. The fruit is ripe, but with a certain herbaceousness / stalky aspect. Lively palate, firm, grippy, stemmy tannins, raspberry, cherry. Long and textured. Nothing amazingly complex, but just such a lively, drinkable glass of wine. Four years old, and it seems near its peak.

  The 2016 Las Uvas de la Ira is a great wine.
  Nicely balanced, it can still ripen for a few more years, but can only get better.
  Color: deep pink
  Nose: Strawberry - Leather - earthy - cherry - anise - licorice - spices.
  Taste: wow deep and long beautifully balanced, light tannins, elegant and refined. Very Burgundian in style and character.
