Alvaro Palacios Les Terrasses 2013, Doca Priorat

Turns out that the third Friday of September is International Day of Grenache, so, to celebrate I chose to open this bottle given that this wonderful and versatile grape is prevalent in Priorat. Although this was a blend (with Carignan most likely) it proved to be a great choice.

Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis 2019, A.C.

This IS Chablis. Unmistakably delicious, with the lemony nose, and the lingering minerality, irrefutable evidence that not all Chardonnays are created equal

Puente Del Ea Reserva Rioja 2015, D.O.Ca

Exquisite. Beautiful dark colour, inviting nose of red fruit, hints of oak, and leathery subtleties, a full round body that reaches every corner of the palate asserting its presence, unashamedly robust and structured in delightful equilibrium, and lingers and lingers exemplifying what great length can be.
It's ready to drink now (January 2023)

Coto De Gomariz The Flower And The Bee Treixadura 2020, D.O. Ribeiro

Tawse Meritage 2012, Niagara Peninsula

Sorry, yes, it is good, but overrated and seriously overpriced. For $60 you can get yourself a real Bordeaux of true quality.
