Urbina Reserva 1998, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$42.95
Hard to believe it’s a ‘98, very little colour change and plenty of life left in it
The Grange Of Prince Edward County Crémant Traditional Sparkling, VQA Prince Edward County
Ontario, Canada$37.00
Lots of bubbles and tartness, colour changing to a darker amber
Chateau Cantemerle 2009
Bordeaux, France$125.00
This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with the Cabernet dominating, looks to be the best they have ever produced, even eclipsing the 2005. Dense purple in color, with extraordinarily elegant floral notes intermixed with raspberry, black currant, cherry, and spice box, it is medium to full-bodied, not massive, but again, very seamless, with beautiful precision, sweet tannins, and an endearing fleshiness and depth of flavor that are neither heavy nor fatiguing. This wine will be relatively approachable in 3-5 years and drink well for 25-30. (Tasted two times.) Score: 92-94
