  OMG #105 (Ann Arbor, MI): Quite polished, with structure suggesting this is just beginning to enter its drinking window.

  Gourmetklubbens fyrtiofemte middag: Tema Havets läckerheter (Södermalm, Stockholm (P+A)): Deep red colour with a mature nose showing stables, hints of dill and a touch of oak. Soft tannins on the palate with drying fruit on the finish. Good, but there’s something missing.

  Retaining great color, little bricking. Nose wild strawberries, raspberries, hints of oak/dill still, brambly, leather, anise. Palate more mature, substantial secondary leather notes, cocoa, reasonably good acid, well integrated. Long finish.

  206 NOK. Tydelig moden. Rognebær og gammel sofa, svak syre. Grei fylde. Litt over the topp.

  Rioja Montecillo in Magum Tasting (Bodega Santa Cecilia - Madrid): Mixture of Tempranillo with Mazuelo and Graciano. French oak at 80%
  On the nose is floral, with notes of bitumen, burnt caramel, cologne, graphite and some pastry.
  A Rioja from 01 that without being extraordinary, saves the tasting. Nevertheless in my very modest opinion, the winery should be fine-tuned in the mouth unless they really want to make that note astringent the characteristic of the house.
  It has acidity, is not great but it is graciano's contribution.
  It has life ahead but within many years do not expect anything better than what the vintage of the 70 offered on the nose. With respect to the mouth, here seems to be greater guarantees. Hope so.
  
  Mezcla de Tempranillo con mazuelo y graciano. Roble francés al 80%
  En nariz es floral, con notas a betún, caramelo quemado, agua de colonia, grafito y algo de pastelería.
  Un Rioja del 01 que sin ser extraordinario, ayuda a salvar la cata. No obstante y en mi modestísima opinión está bodega debería afinar sus vinos en boca salvo que realmente quieran hacer de esa nota astringente la característica de la casa.
  Tiene acidez, no es grandiosa pero tiene la aportación de la uva graciano.
  Tiene vida por delante pero dentro de muchos años no esperes algo mejor que lo que la añada del 70 ofrecía en nariz. Respecto a la boca, aquí parecen existir mayores garantías.
