May/2014 wines...
- Navazos-Niepoort 2012. Equipo Navazos. DO Jerez y Manzanilla-Sanlúcar de Barrameda
Just a plain white wine. Nothing else. Just a right quaff.
- Robert Vedel Cepas Viejas 2012. Bodegas Herrero Vedel. DO Rueda.
Fresh, silky and full of meadow. More!
- Bourgogne Aligoté 2011. Domaine Lafouge. AOC Bourgogne Aligoté (12-13 EUR)
Fresh, with bitter and herbaceous hints. Quenching thirst wine. More!
- Blanco Nieva Verdejo Pie Franco 2010. Viñedos de Nieva. DO Rueda (8,6 EUR)
Needing room for new bottles and I think that this wine, in this vintage, won't evolve much further. It's as nice as usual. Fresh and vividness and showing the real face of verdejo.
- Raventós i Blanc Gran Reserva de La Finca 2007. DO Cava (15-16 EUR)
D-19102012
Behind bubbles and freshness, toooooooons of nuts.
- Conde de los Andes 1959 Gran Reserva. Bodega Federico Paternina. DOC Rioja.
... et memento mori.
PS. And I would like reaching its age looking sooooo god.
PS 2. ... and tobacco and autumn leaves and white chocolate and grapefruit and a neverending tartness...
- Pierre Gimonnet Special Club 1999. AOC Champagne. (40 EUR aprox)
Apples, brioche, velvet. Velvet, brioche, apples. More!!
- Patio 2010. Vinos Cano Zarco (10,15 EUR)
Fruit and light (in good sense). Really nice. Nonetheless the second day taste and smell like straw. Odd.
Regards,
Jose

Ver mensaje de joseI envy your experience with the '59 Conde de los Andes
I have had some from the 60's and 70's
En Memento mori indeed!
Perhaps that Navazos Niepoort needs time?

Ver mensaje de RayQ Hi Ray,
it's always awesome to drink a so old wine full of life.
Regarding that white Navazos-Niepoort, well, I dare it's just not my glass of wine. Bottle after bottle 'til it was released looks to me as just a correct white wine.
Regards,
Jose
