La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2019
$75.00Gorgeous nose of creaming soda, nutmeg, cherry, raspberry and thyme. Plush and round in shape, with strong oak influence and some tertiary notes poking through. Aniseed, sandalwood, cinnamon, vanilla and sweet Jamon. These I suspect will become more prominent with time. Utterly idiosyncratic and a beautiful introduction to traditional Rioja. Waters Wine Co 93 points […]

La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza Reserva 2016
$120.00Savory and complex with dried orange peel, cedar and plenty of sweet spices, walnuts, caramel, dried mushrooms and pine needles. Shows maturity here, with a medium body and superb freshness. Incredibly long finish with lots of truffle and walnut. Lasts over a minute. Very complete now, but you can still hold it. 95 points – James […]

Akutain Reserva Rioja 2017
$80.00One of the finest traditional Reservas on the market and incredible value. If this was Bordeaux or Burgundy, the price would be much higher. Blackcurrant, plum, cranberry, raspberry, aniseed, tobacco, vanilla, violets and cola. Medium to full bodied, incredibly fresh and vibrant, certainly firm and serious. Flecks of savoury spice, dried fruit and firm mineral […]

Pesquera Reserva Especial 2010
$100.00Deep ruby. Explosive, oak-spiced aromas of cherry compote, blackberry, vanilla and potpourri, with a hint of smoked meat slowly emerging with aeration. Smooth, sweet and focused on the palate, offering bitter cherry and blackcurrant flavors that are given lift and spine by juicy acidity. Shows a sexy floral quality on the long, smoky finish, which […]

Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2015
$65.00The most sweetly fruited of traditional Rioja, with rich cassis, raspberry, morello cherry, sweet vanilla, sandalwood and oiled leather. The oak is perfectly integrated, so often it’s raw in traditional Rioja upon release, but not here. Flavours folded, glistening, melting tannins ever present, that soften towards the close. It’s very hard to resist now, so […]

La Rioja Alta Finca Martelo 2015
$110.00Intensely complex and aromas of blueberry, sweet raspberry, dark cherry, blackberry, lavender soap, lavender wood and five spice. Boom! So much energy and muscle, super tight, tense and coiled. Even the tannins are complex, sleek, firm and finally, powdery. Deep core and not the concentration of sweet fruit, but a deep core of savoury, spicy, […]

Pesquera Ribera del Duero Tinto Crianza 2019
$65.00A real mouthful of warm, fruit-coated deliciousness. Just about the richest Crianza on the market. Seductive dark fruits of cassis, plum and dark cherry. Lavender, cola, sweet liquorice, dark chocolate and coal. Still there’s vibrancy, almost playful, amongst the weight and heft of forceful, hessian-like tannins. Balanced and long, and the overall impression is that […]

Pesquera Ribera del Duero Reserva 2019
$105.00This renowned 100% Tempranillo–once famously called “the Pétrus of Spain” by Robert Parker, comes from Estate vineyards in Lucia, Vina Alto and Llano Santiago. These are high elevation sites (2,400 feet) and the vines between 30 and 40 years of age. The soils are poor and well-drained and are composed of sand and gravel over […]

Condado De Haza Ribera del Duero Crianza 2018
$50.00Perhaps a little less plush than than the Pesquera Crianza’s, with more earth and ferrous notes. It’s not rustic, a little less fine perhaps, but I love it’s burliness. Spice laden, dark fruits, some crunchy red ones too, lavender wood, smoke and bay leaf. Presence of chew, the tannins a rougher velvet and a vibrancy […]

Toro Albala Don PX 2020 (375ml)
$65.0017% ABV. The Don PX wines come from the youngest, sweet vintage wines of Toro Albalá. The carefully selected Pedro Ximénez grapes were hand-harvested and then left to dehydrate under the sun on straw mats for about seven days. The grapes were then pressed and, when the perfect balance between sugar, alcohol and acidity was […]

Equipo Navazos PX Gran Solera 25+ Years old 375ml
$60.00Mid-depth mahogany, the colour grading to olive on the rim. Its racy complexity offers rich Cadbury Old Gold chocolate, together with dried figs and spices. The finish is, of course, sweet, but it doesn’t cloy. 95 Points, James Halliday, the Weekend Australian Magazine. This the new, September ‘21 bottling of the much-loved PX Gran […]

Fermentation and élevage where similar, […]

Toro Albala Don PX Seleccion Luxury 1980 (200ml)
$180.00The 1980 Don PX Selección is said to come from a warm and dry year that favored the raisining of the Pedro Ximénez grapes. This has lots of candied fruit and spice and combines the 17% alcohol with a whopping 340 grams of residual sugar. This aged in American oak butts until its bottling in […]

Toro Albala Don PX 2002 (375ml)
$95.00I tasted the 2002 Don PX, which has 17% alcohol and 399 grams of sugar and seems denser and more concentrated than the 1999 I tasted next to it. They are all different degrees or declinations of similar aromas and flavors, such as dates, raisins, coffee and espresso coffee. This comes through as balanced and […]

Equipo Navazos Casa del Inca Pedro Ximenez 2017
$90.00This is another historic style that the Navazos team brought back. It’s a wine inspired by the time when Pedro Ximénez was often a vintage wine and released without extended ageing. This comes from the stocks of Pérez Barquero in the D.O. Montilla-Moriles and is derived from late-harvested and dried PX grapes from one of […]

Valenciso 10 Anos Rioja 2012
$110.00The subtle, elegant and complex 2012 10 Años Después (10 years after!) matured for four years in concrete followed by four more years in Caucasian oak barrels that polished it. It has an incredible 15% alcohol, which doesn’t show at all, and the wine comes through as balanced and elegant, powerful too but with no […]
