Alvaro Palacios L'Ermita 2004

l'Ermita is one of the Icon wines of Spain. From the hills of Priorat, this shows the region style perfectly - rich and powerful but with the structure and underlying minerality to balance it all out. While the ines look great young, they certainly benefit from time in the bottle.

Telmo Rodriguez Las Beatas Tempranillo 2013

"The nose reminded me of wet chalk straight away, a fine and subtle minerality, slowly opening up to aromas of violets and lavender. It had hints of pollen and honey wax, perfumed but in a subtle way. It is perhaps a little more austere and reticent than previous vintages that were warmer and drier. There is a big difference in the acidity that provides for an effervescent texture, with a terse sensation, with tension and a tasty finish with notes … more

Roda 1 Reserva Rioja 2007 Magnum

Three tiers of wine have been produced, Roda, Roda I, and Cirsion, all from the estate's 17 parcels of vines, each of which is vinified separately. No wine is made from vines less than 30 years of age. Roda I focuses on the dark fruit side of the spectrum. A brooding black-fruited expression of Tempranillo, the 2007 Roda I Reserva is purple-coloured with a nose of earth, mushroom, balsamic, and blackberry. Terroir-driven, it is tight and firm on the palate … more

Equipo Navazos La Bota 69 de Amontillado Magnum

From Hijos de Rainera Perez Marin.

The historic premises of Calle Misericordia in Sanlacar de Barrameda were thoroughly refurbished just a few years ago. The works did not significantly affect the thousands of casks of the solera and criaderas of manzanilla that are maturing in the two main buildings, but it did change the disposition and the wines of the Sala de Banderas, mainly casks of amontillado in the most delicate Sanlacar style. Besides the dozens of butts that surround … more

Telmo Rodriguez 'Tabueringa' Tempranillo 2015

A labour of love from Telmo Rodriguez, the 2014 was the first of several vintages they vinified that they were willing to release to public. It was clearly worth the wait because within each bottle is some quintessential Rioja ready to draw you in. The vines are located in an amphitheatre near the village of Labastida, mainly Tempranillo with some Graciano, Mazuelo and a smattering of other local varieties. Clay, wild raspberries, lavender and wild herbs waft up from the … more

A vintage sherry from 12 old barrels filled in 1986 from the El Cuadrado vineyard. The wine matured for 20 years in the San Francisco bodega and 2800 bottles were filled in 2007.

Toro Albala Don PX Pedro Ximenez Convento Seleccion 1931 200ml

"If someone told you they kept a wine for 84 years in barrel before bottling, you'd think they are nuts, right? Well, that's what the folks at Toro Albalá in Aguilar de la Frontera - in the province of Cordoba, part of the Montilla Moriles appellation - did with their 1931 Don PX Convento Selección. This is part of what they call 'vinos olvidados,' which means 'forgotten wines.' The border is amber, with green tints that denote very old age. … more

Equipo Navazos La Bota 88 de Malt Whisky. Single Oloroso Cask. 700ml

46% alc. Single Oloroso cask. A Scottish Malt aged in Jerez! This is sourced solely from what Navazos refer to as a "prestigious distillery in Scotland" (hence the "overseas")--we don't know the exact distillery and perhaps never will. Its age is estimated at around 12 years, of which the past seven--as per the 89 Grain Whisky--have been spent in a single cask from a solera of very old, dry Oloroso Sherry.

It's a Whisky of remarkable character and complexity. It … more
