2022 Vallonges d'Aqueria Tavel
5/24/2024 - eboracum Likes this wine: 89 Points
Up to the usual standard with deep pink colour and round rosy fruit but perhaps a tad less bracing and more obviously alcoholic than the 2021. Good though.

2021 Dezzani Piemonte otto Bucce
5/21/2024 - eboracum wrote: 84 Points
This bottle came bearing a 94 point sticker from Luca Maroni. I just don't get it. Like the 2016, there were medium+ body, quite complex red fruit laced with orange peel and spice. However, the texture was soft and the acidity only modest making a slightly soggy impression and there was an after-taste of liquorice and musky perfume which, for me, seemed a bit vulgar. Fair.

2022 Bodega Las Cepas Rioja Costalarbol
5/19/2024 - eboracum Likes this wine: 88 Points
This is reliable bottling but not very Rioja like due probably to a high proportion of Graciano (60%) and low Tempranillo (20%). It is surprisingly suave and approachable in its second year. Like the 2019 at one year older its fruit and aromas are expressive and fragrant in a dark vein with touches of liquorice and firm structure and few overt traces of oak élevage. Good.
