Pat

Coto De Gomariz Dende O Seculo X 2018, D.O. Ribeiro

So many competing and yet integrated layers on the nose. Notes of beeswax, stone fruit, lime, grass, smoke, minerality, salt, vanilla, and a perfumed floral character. The palate is balanced with a hint of sweetness that seems to be counterbalanced with a strong salinity. Medium plus body and high acidity. Excellent length.

Mateus Nicolau De Almeida Eremitas Antao Do Deserto 2017

Vivera Terra Dei Sogni 2016, Terre Siciliane Rosso Igp

A wine dominated by dusty minerality. It has a very ferrous, iron like quality that permeates the wine. It adds some complexity with additional notes of red cherry, red currant, leather, plum, blueberry, forest floor, and smoke. Full bodied with medium, grippy tannins and high acidity. Very good length.

Château Haut La Greniere Lussac Saint Emilion 2015

El Casetero Garnacha 2018, Campo De Borja

Ripe and red off the top with an almost candied quality. Notes of red currant, cherry, cranberry, leather, pepper, and a dried herbal earthy character. Very juicy with a salty edge. Medium bodied with soft tannins and med + acidity. Very good length.

Luis Seabra Xisto Ilimitado White 2018

My first Rabigato. This wine has an interesting profile. The nose has notes of vanilla, honeycomb, smoke, salt, lemon zest, grass, and a herbal aspect. The palate leans into the smokey character and introduces green apple. Medium + body with high acidity and excellent length.
