Comando G "Las Bruja de Rozas" Vinos de Madrid 2016

(12/28/2018) "The first wine to be released from what is surely their finest vintage to date was the 2016 La Bruja de Rozas, a blend from different plots in the village of Las Rozas de Puerto Real in the province of Madrid. I first had it at a restaurant and was simply blown away and ran to buy a few cases for my cellar. This is ethereal, weightless but powerful, intense, transparent, with beautiful aromatics and a silky texture, with the grainy minerality of the granite soils. It's long, pure, available and affordable. It has to be one of the best value wines found in Spain today. Drinkable, in fact, gulpable today, but with the potential to develop in bottle. Bravo, bravo and bravo!."

Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva 2015

(9/6/2019) "One of the flagship cuvees from this estate that's produced in every vintage, the 2015 Reserva is a blend of 70% Tempranillo and the rest Garnacha, Mazuelo, and Graciano that spent 24 months in used French and American oak. Blackberries, currants, cigar wrapper, cedar box, and hints of vanilla all flow to a medium-bodied, concentrated, beautiful Rioja that has ripe tannins, beautiful balance, and a great finish. You couldn't go wrong with a case of this."

(3/1/2018) "The 2014 Muga Reserva checks in as a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and the balance Mazuelo (aka Carignan) and Graciano. This deep ruby/purple-colored effort gives up textbook currants, smoked earth, leather, espresso, and graphite aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, ripe, voluptuous and sexy on the palate, with sweet tannin, it's a charming, forward vintage of this cuvée that dishes out loads of pleasure. Maturity 2018 - 2028."

Bodegas Valdespino "Contrabandista" Palomino/Pedro Ximenez Sherry NV
90
Our Score
(4/2019) The Contrabandista is a unique sherry consisting of 95% Amontillado pulled from 8 years in solera with 5% Pedro Ximenez, the addition of which contributes a bit of sweetness without dampening the fruit-and-nut medley of Amontillado. The nose is full of caramel, prune jam and salted milk chocolate supplemented with orange-blossom honey and hazelnut. All of this is followed by an off-dry palate laden with walnuts and chestnuts and a rustic oakiness to balance the torched brown sugar finish. A wonderful after-dinner sherry for those in search of brightness with a touch of sweetness.

R. Lopez de Heredia "Vina Cubillo" Crianza Rioja 2008
92
Wine Advocate
"The first of the reds here is the 2008 Vina Cubillo Tinto Crianza from a cooler vintage that produced some austere and serious wines--a year with higher acidity and lively fruit. It feels effervescent and it makes you salivate. This is usually a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 5% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo from 50-year-old vines that ferments in ancient oak vats, and ages in barrel for three years. This cuvee has increased its quality tremendously since the 1990s. These cooler years provide citric freshness, and a very fine texture and vibrant acidity. This is so easy to drink that it can be dangerous.This was the Rioja clarete fino--the everyday red. It's both elegant and powerful. Very good value, too. Drink Date 2016 - 2022."

Alvear Solera 1927" Pedro Ximinez NV

Wine Advocate
(11/29/2015) "The NV Pedro Ximenez Solera 1927 is non-vintage, but does have some 1927 material in it. This is totally dark brown/amber with notes of figs, toffee, caramel syrup, molasses and coffee. It is dense, super sweet, intense, rich and an amazingly, unctuously textured, thick beverage to consume slowly and introspectively after a meal. Drink now through 2050, or even longer."

Envinate "Benje" Canary Islands Tinto 2017
91
Our Score
(11/2018) This is the 3rd bottling of Envinate's "Benje" Tinto. The vines are old gnarly, growing untrained high up in the mountains, as opposed to the more coastal influenced Taganans. This is made entirely from Listan Prieto, the long-lost cousin to the Pais grape. Mountains and volcanoes form the core framework of the wine, giving it high, snappy acid and a wonderfully deep mineral tone. All this is complemented by whiffs of smoke, salt and wild herbs. These four friends are making some of the most interesting wines to be found throughout Spain.

Goyo Garcia "Joven Vinas Viejas" Ribera del Duero 2016
91
Our Score
(2/2018) The "Joven de Vinas Viejas" is a recent addition to Goyo Garcia's line. "Joven" in this designation means young or fresh, and that is precisely what this wine embodies. It just screams freshness! The fact that this cuvee also comes from some serious old vines doesn't hurt one bit, and lends plenty of depth and structure to this beautiful, vibrant rendition of Tempranillo. Many of the vines he works with are over 80 years old. The fruit is super tart and snappy, with a sharp edgy quality that plays well with the high acid. Think freshly pulled blackberries from the bush. The fresh berries are backed with notes of lightly dried leather, baked clay, wild herbs and solid core of black rock minerality, all wrapped in a rather lithe package. Goyo's wines are a revelation, offering an interpretation of the region that harkens back to a simpler bygone time.

James Suckling
(7/4/2019) "Cubillo is a very focused and quite crisp style of red that has spent three years in barrique and then in larger cask to wait for bottling, which happens two years before the expected release. The richness and depth of complex dried wood and spice here is seamlessly sewn into the dried red and dark cherries. The palate is pinned around a fresh-blackberry core that marries still sweet fruit to more savory style. Long and balanced. The tannins are fine yet assertive. It freshens into the finish nicely. Drink or hold."

Wine Enthusiast
(2/1/2018) "Editors' Choice - The 2010 harvest will go down as one of Rioja's greats, and that means wines like this $25 Gran Reserva can be excellent and affordable. It has a nose of mocha, smoke and earthy berry fruits. The palate is layered and texturally complex, while flavors of root beer, baking spice, dried cherry and plum spread out on a smooth finish that is just right in terms of residual tannins and acid. Drink through 2030."
