a beautiful drop

2006 CELESTE - Crianza from Ribera del Duero, 100% Tempranillo. Torres claims this wine to tell us stories of stars and clouds. Well, the fairytale was very opulent and full of fruity fantasies. for 15 Euro they should be slightly more polished. The wine almost shot me down with its massive but pleasant tannin. I will try it again.

Apple and herbs

Falanghina Irpinia IGT 2007,  the wine was named Terredora, one of the oldest grapes in Italy. Truly fruity and a very fine hint of herbs. I asked around who could tell what kind of herb it was, no one. : ( but the wine was worth the price 11Euro.

thank you, Campania, Italia

Not so surprised

this Vermentino from the legendary Guado al Tasso in Bolgehri, was pretty crispy, with a huge length in the taste, and pleasantly mineral as described by Mr.Antinori himself.

 

---just another try.
