Gradually bringing my old reviews over to Bluesky, and will continue posting only here going forward.
Expect lots of #spanishwine reviews, plus some assorted stuff.
🍇 Albariño
✨ lntense notes of peach and apricot with a subtle vegetal touch that adds complexity. Fresh with vibrant acidity and a lingering finish.
Licorice, black currant, prunes, plums, wood, pepper, some cinnamon. Aniseed if you let it breathe, then coffee liqueur and dark chocolate later.... 1/2

Unctuous nose - I did not expect shoe polish from a white Rioja, however light it was. Eggs, cream, pear, almost no peach, some flowers.
Rather rich when it's not as cold as it was when I initially got it.... 1/2

Plums, vanilla, tobacco, almost no black currant, cherry. Bit jammy. Very middle of the road - neither offensive enough to rant not interested enough to get anything beyond a shrug.
Red Wine from Rioja

Lemon cream, apricot, pear, lemon grass, white flowers.
Worked with marinated salmon although didn't particularly enhance it. Overpowered smoked sardines, kinda worked with some tuna gildas.... 1/2

Licorice, aniseed, little bit of black currant. I wouldn't have guessed it was a Cabernet Sauvignon - it feels like an almost-but-not-quite-there El Vigilante.
It's interesting, just not enough.

Shoe polish, perfume, strong cherries, some black currant. Punchy, but with a zest on the tongue, and very drinkable - like a nice wine you'd get to walk around a market at 11am.

Hay, barn, and... what was the name of those white flowers? Not chamomile, but others I can't place. Honeysuckle?... 1/2

Plums, black cherries, some light chocolatey flavor first... then chocolate, later, deep and dark.
Smooth, drinkable. Got it by the glass and it was criminally cold at first - it deserves better.... 1/2

I have already forgotten it, but remember thinking I’d rather be having a gin and tonic.

Chocolate, plums, some pepper. A mellow earthiness comes out when it has had time to breathe.
(Old review, though, haven’t had it in a while)

Ruby red. Wood, tobacco, curry, vanilla, and a strong tannic kick. Crianza.
Half the bottle went into a pot for lentils and, while I wouldn't mind drinking the rest, I wouldn't get it for that purpose.... 1/2

Cherry, light black currant, a bit of blackberries. Drinkable but I wouldn't mind having a glass while pouring it into a sauce.

Cherries, a bit of strawberries, tobacco, black currrant. Something vegetable on the glass later; and coffee and bitter chocolate even later.... 1/2

Botanic, with a bit of herb garden. Red fruits, some tobacco, lots of chocolate, dark and stormy coffee, licorice.
Shocking how mature it is after only three years.... 1/2

I guess that's a @winesky.app integration feature for later.

Licorice, prunes. Later: deep cashew, blue cheese, coffee, brandy, chocolates with plums, something balsamic. Pungent - it's a wine made for cheese. Makes me think of Malandrin's Bobo VT.... 1/2

Soft. Plums, slight pepper, bergamot, a bit of blood... but still remaining a light wine.
Hard to rate - I'm split between 4, given its obvious quality and the fact they did a great job,... 1/2

Dark chocolate, ripe cashews, perfume - although the nose calms down quickly. Nuts, dried and toasted. Dark as a Finnish winter midnight. Tobacco, later.... 1/2

Violets, aniseed, licorice, chocolate, sour cherries, pepper, chocolate milk. Smooth but short, with a straight acidity. One of their colder years, so it tastes milkier.

Pungent. Dark plums, chocolate, candied cherries, dark chocolate, vegetables, deep violets, hints of tobacco on the nose, blood sausage. Sweet coffee later, then a ton of tobacco on the glass.... 1/2

Black plums, shoe polish (but just a hint), vanilla, black cherries, spices, slight cardamom, rosemary, thyme.
Bit blunt. Short, but dry, and it makes your mouth water.... 1/2
