2014 Bodegas Muriel Rioja Fincas de la Villa Gran Reserva
5/19/2024 - pjaines wrote:
not normally a Rioja fan but this is beautiful - grippy and textured and yes, there is oak - BUT - it really works well together. Elegance - especially when chilled a touch. This is no Ardanza oak fest - there is something here that speaks of restraint. On the finish there is a lot of dry mouth puckering matter - but in a good way. 22 english groats.

2022 Cramele Recaș Pinot Noir Lautarul

Woah! 9 quid ??? This is punchy fresh and everything you would want in a Bourgogne - grip, cherries, taut, not too screechy, not "fruity" - welcome to the new house pinot noir.

2022 François Villard Condrieu DePoncins
5/4/2024 - pjaines Likes this wine:
A grown-ups wine - great layers of honeysuckle, lemons, waxy cotton (??) notes and creamy buttery richness that sits on top of a bed of acidity. I had the 2019 recently and that had evolved beautifully - time is on its side and this is really quite wonderful value for money.
