Marques de Riscal Reserva 2004
Anthony at Boccaccio Cellars has been raving about this, so I thought I’d better give it a run. The comeback vintage of 2001 was a big hit, and the 2004 is on a similar level. So, I line up the 2004 and 2001, along with the 2004 Roda Reserva after Griff’s call that this is a... (more)
From the Cellar: Marques de Riscal Reserva 2001
I’ve had a couple of emails and comments asking how this is traveling, so I cracked one open with the 2004 to see what is happening in the bottle. Very prosmising at the moment, with more to come in a couple of years. If I hadn’t seen these side by side, I would have never noticed... (more)

A nose of vanilla,... (more)

Mache ich einen ersten kleinen Rückblick auf dieses Jahr gehört der Besuch des Weingutes Dinastia Vivanco zweifelsfrei zu den großen Erlebnissen des Jahres. Wenn ich an dieser Stelle von Weingut spreche ist das nicht ganz richtig, denn der Betrieb trennt sich auf in mehrere... (more)
Faustino VII 2006
Work is extremely busy at the moment, hence the lack of posts over the last couple of weeks. I have a backlog of notes to get through, so I’ll post a chunk of them this weekend. On a better note, I’ve finally booked some flights to Spain for Feb next year. I’m planning to do a... (more)
When Irsquo;m Sixty Four
In 1964 the Beatles released Meet the Beatles in the United States, the first Ford Mustang was produced, Lyndon Johnson defeated Barry Goldwater for President and the grapes for the 1964 Gran Reserva Rioja of Faustino I were harvested. They made 219,500 bottles and I drank one last night.... (more)
