2006 Bodegas Mas Alta Priorat Artigas

I am not much into Grenache based wines anymore. Having said that, this has turned into a delicious little fruit bomb. Sweet and Jamey, but not stewed. Still some freshness and wonderful nose with slight balsamic note. No trace of being tired. If you told me blind this was well aged brunello, I would believe it.

2002 Tardieu-Laurent Côte-Rôtie
4/28/2024 - bobbylion Likes this wine: 89 Points
This was bought when I started with wine, and I didn’t realize that I was buying the worst vintage for nr in recent history. The wine was basically acid and not much more. Happy to see that this changed. The nose is still very much rotie. The acidity has moved into background. Tannins are resolved, but now some fruit is coming through. Easily 89 maybe even 90 with more air. Uuuf! Thought I had to throw away some 6-7 bottles of this I still had.
There is a slight bitter nuance at the finish, but that’s complaining on high level. The wine is totally fine.
