Blandys Colheita "Single Harvest" Bual Madeira 2002 500 ML

(3/30/2016) "The 2002 Bual Colheita was bottled in 2014 and is limited to 8,000 bottles. It has quite a "punchy" bouquet with scents of dried honey, sandalwood, cigar humidor and dried fig all very well defined and quite mercurial in the glass. You have to keep popping your nose into the glass here to observe the changes. The palate is medium-bodied with a harmonious entry, quite citrus-like with hints of bitter lemon, orange peel, clove and hazelnut, gently unfolding in the glass and leading to quite a refined and sustained finish. I appreciate the harmony and purity of this Bual - appealing, elegant and poised. Drink Date: 2016 - 2035."

Blandys Medium Dry Verdelho 10Yr Madeira NV 500 ML

Wine Advocate
(3/30/2016) "Bottled in 2015, Non Vintage Verdelho 10 Year Old has a delineated, vivacious bouquet with dried quince, orange peel and a touch of sea water, perhaps demonstrating wider appeal than its uncompromising Sercial counterpart. The palate is medium-bodied with a pleasant honeyed texture on the entry, very well judged acidity, those oxidative/nutty notes neatly counterbalancing the sweetness and viscosity towards the finish with some aplomb. This is endowed with impressive length and harmony here, to wit, a perfect introduction to the delights of Verdelho."

Blandys Rich Malmsey Madeira 10 YR 10 YO 500 ML

Wine Advocate
(3/30/2016) "The NV Malmsey 10 Year Old, which was bottled end 2015, is bestowed with pungent clove and sandalwood aromas, holding the sweet caramel and toffee notes back and delivering something more resinous and almost marine-like. There is a peat-like element, as if it was matured on Islay rather than the middle of the Atlantic! The palate is medium-bodied and here that Malmsey-like richness and sweetness is (finally) delivered: touches of toffee apple, smoke, clove and dried orange peel. Perhaps more Bual-like in style, it displays fine length in the mouth and pleasant saltiness on the aftertaste. This comes recommended for all Malmsey-lovers."

BLANKbottle "Pseudonym" Western Cape Cinsault 2019
91
Our Score
(10/2020) Blankbottle winemaker Pieter Walser is a maverick, his winemaking approach is: you give him fantastic grapes, he'll give you fantastic wine. They don't necessarily need to be from a fabled 200-year-old historic vineyard, planted on southwest facing volcanic slopes, for him to make fantastic wine. He has turned into something of an expert grape-hunter. This ideology brings us to the story of "Pseudonym". Pieter was at the property of a farmer from whom he buys grapes, and noticed a small vineyard in a little valley that he had never seen picked. When Pieter asked why the farmer never sold from that vineyard, he learned the birds in that valley pick the vines clean every year, so come harvest time - there aren't enough grapes. When Pieter found out the vines were 60+ years old, it piqued his interest. He made the farmer a deal, Pieter would buy bird nets to protect the fruit if he sold only to Pieter at harvest. It ended up being a great gamble because Pseudonym is one of our favorite Blankbottle's wines to date. The nose is super-fresh, bursting with lively red fruit. A light and bright, but rambunctious, palate features bouncy acidity, great fruit, a smidge of black tea, and pretty floral aspects. This vibrant, juicy 100% Cinsault is everything you want in an easy-drinking wine and would go great with grilled chicken tacos. Drink now!

Vinous, Stephen Tanzer
(9/2019) "Bright, dark ruby. Very pure aromas of cassis, blackberry, licorice and dark chocolate are lifted by a building violet topnote. Dry but flavorful black fruit and dark chocolate flavors are still youthfully tight but already display a very sophisticated texture. There's a coolness and clarity here from the 2016 vintage but also very good fruit ripeness and chalky minerality. Finishes with strong but refined tannins and a note of salty minerality. This juicy, penetrating, very long blend is youthfully primary now and needs more time in bottle to expand. It may well eventually merit an even higher rating. (6.22 g/l acidity; aged in 50% new and 50% once-used French oak barrels; made from several low-yielding blocks around Luján de Cuyo)"

(9/10/2020) "The fruit-driven and easy-to-drink 2019 Laya was produced with Garnacha Tintorera, or Alicante Bouschet, grapes blended with 30% Monastrell from an unusually wet year with torrential rains during the harvest. It fermented in stainless steel vats with neutral yeasts, with malolactic in barrel, where the wine matured for four months. It's very dark, almost opaque, expressive and open. This comes from younger vines yet is structured and seamless, quite complete. It feels like a very good vintage for Garnacha Tintorera in the zone. The palate is round, somehow creamy, and the tannins are ripe and juicy. 360,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020. Drink Date 2020 - 2023."

(3/1/2018) "From two vineyards planted in 1904 and 1910 (the vineyards are side by side), the 2016 Avancia Godello was aged 10 months in a mix of French oak puncheons and 500- and 600-liter demi-muids. It has more minerality and vibrancy than the "Cuvee de O Godello", as well as perfumed notes of citrus blossom, lychee, and saltiness, with a touch of building brioche and toasty notes developing with time in the glass. It's a gorgeous white."

Bodegas Bhilar "Terca" Rioja Blanco 2010
New low price! Regular Vin Chicago retail - $29.99!
Cool closeout opportunity on a truly esoteric, decade-old traditional white Rioja.
93
Wine Advocate
(4/29/2015) "The classically proportioned 2010 Terca is sourced from two clay-rich old vineyards from the Elvillar village in the Rioja Alavesa subzone, mostly Viura with some 10% Malvasía Riojana (aka Alarije) produced with Sampedro's unusual modus operandi for these low-quantity whites: the grapes are hand-harvested into 400-liter containers and on arrival at the winery the whole bunches are foot trodden and they stay there macerating with the stems and skins for a week until fermentation starts. Then they are pressed, and finish fermenting in used 500-liter oak barrels where the wine ages for two years. It feels a little neutral with quite an imprint from the elevage, in the style of the white Riojas form yesteryear. It is evolving slowly with shy aromas of chamomile and aromatic herbs, hints of beeswax and honey, all of it in a subtle way. It has a solid palate showing good balance, which should secure it a nice evolution in bottle. Drink Date: 2015 - 2022."

Bodegas Enrique Mendoza "La Tremenda" Alicante Monastrell 2017
92
Wine Advocate
(4/30/2019) "The pure Monastrell 2017 La Tremenda always represents great value and showcases the behavior of the grape in the Mediterranean climate and soil from Alicante. The grapes from 25-year-old vines fermented in small stainless steel vats, and the wine matured in French oak barrels for six months. There are notes of fresh fruit, rosemary and thyme, with clean aromas, open and expressive. The palate is juicy and round, and this is an entry-level red that represents the higher volume in the winery. This wine reflects the changes over the last seven or eight years: they do three tries of the harvest, and the first bunches tend to go to this wine. The well-seasoned barrels also go to this wine, and the vinification is much softer. The result is fruit-driven, with just a spicy twist. 2017 seems a lot cooler in the Mediterranean part of Spain than in most of the inland regions like Rioja, Ribera del Duero and so on. This is a bargain Monastrell."

Our Score
(6/2020) This 100% Garnacha comes from the team at Juan Gil. These guys know how to turn high quality, inexpensive fruit into tasty, impactful wines. This powerful red checks in at 15.5% alcohol, a percentage rarely seen at this price, yet the wine finds balance and energy. Look for juicy, ripe red berry fruits, a hint of pepper and notes of red earth.

Jeb Dunnuck
(3/1/2018) "Made from 75% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo, 10% Graciano, the 2014 Torre Muga is heavenly stuff that's from the oldest vineyards of the estate. This cuvee comes from sandy loam soils, was completely destemmed and saw malolactic fermentation in barrels followed by 15 months in oak prior to bottling. Blackcurrants, blackberries, charcoal, dark chocolate, and pencil lead notes all emerge from this big, rich, beautifully concentrated, yet fresh, vibrant and pure Rioja that has a stacked mid-palate, ripe, polished tannin, notable freshness, and a pure, elegant, yet powerful style. It's a beautiful wine to drink over the coming two decades. Maturity: 2018 - 2038"

(2/28/2018) "Jorge Muga told me he's very proud of their 2013 Reserva, which he considers the most challenging vintage he's seen: cold, rain, botrytis, vigor, mud ... horrible! They only produced this Reserva, there's no Seleccion Especial, Torre Muga or Prado Enea, and they even produced less than the average volume of this bottling. This is the year they introduced optical sorting for the grapes, and they reckon that really helped to achieve the quality of this wine. In this price range and volume, it has to be one of the best wines in Rioja in 2013. It has the classical Muga character, polished and drinkable."

Bodegas Muga Rioja Reserva 2016

(6/28/2019) "This has the Muga style and the imprint of the cool and fresh 2016 vintage, one of the best vintages of recent years. 2016 is also a year of harmony and freshness that reminds me a little of the 2010. But the Muga family thinks it's somewhere between 2010 and 2011, because for them 2011 is not so warm, even if it generally produced quite ripe wines. It has a mixture of red and black fruit with sweet spices that are very integrated and in harmony. The palate is silky and clean, and the tannins are round and gentle. A delicious Reserva. They produced around one million bottles of this. It was bottled in January 2019. Drink Date: 2019 - 2028"

Bodegas Muriel "Fincas de la Villa" Rioja Reserva 2015

Wine Spectator
(4/30/2020) "This generous red is rich and round, with ripe tannins and orange peel acidity. Cherry, dried currant, licorice, vanilla and spice flavors are ample yet focused. A balance of traditional and modern styles. Drink now through 2030."
