Nose: Apple pie, wrapped in citric and reminders of toffee caramel, walnuts. Taste: Fine carbonic finish, the tinges of pastry and dried fruit, creamy and silky.
 

Burgans Albarino 2006, Rias-Baixas

A well made Rose from a truly iconic producer from Rioja. A pale salmon pink with very bright pastel reflections. Nose: Very fresh fruit with exotic fruits such as kiwi, pineapple, and passion fruit. Palate: Fresh and lively with hints of peach and passion fruit.

 

Vinicola Onix 2006, Priorat
This surely must be the best value from the pricey D.O Priorat. This unoaked is a blend of 55 year old Grenache and Carinena. It was a lovely nose of mineral and ripe cherries, nicely layered and intensely flavored. Wine Advocate


Muga Reserva 2004, Rioja
This wine spent 24 months in barrel and one year in bottle. 93+ points from Parker. On the nose you get freshly mown lawn, coconut, vanilla and hints of toasted wood. On the palate the wine is firm with good backbone, loads of mineral, ripe, red-berry fruit and spices. This wine have excellent aging ability.
