My june wines. 1/2

Hi all,
despite writing TNs for both sides of Verema (let me say I don’t write them for me, but for the Veremites) from now, and until I don’t know, I’ll post the wines I drink as whole. Maybe I’m wrong, but I use to see as these kinda of posts use to open discussions and room for the common knowledgement and sharing opinions. Well, here we go with my ’june wines’...

- Marques de Murrieta Ygay Blanco Rva. 1999 (9 EUR aprox) DOC Rioja
Almost a year after these bottles were bought I uncork one just to taste how is this wine right now and try to take a decission about it, but now I’ve more questions that answers. A year after oak was overwhelming, but now it’s hidden, nevertheless you can find it with toffe hints that disappear after a couple of hours. It doesn’t deply a miryad of smells as of a year. It looks shy and as if it were hidden. The astringency has gone off; the tanicity is still here, but more intregated as an oily sip, nevertheless let me remark the acidity backbone of this wine. I expected terciary notes, but there’s none. The wine is not where I expected, and I was thinking about it as a sort of deception. I don’t know whether it goes to a dumb phase or it’ll finaly goes to the end of his life or maybe as I hope it will evolve. Anyhow, while I’m sitting in the terrace, for many hours, the sunset, silently and reading, while dinning some paprika sausages (you know, what we call ’chorizos’ in Spain) boilt in white wine and a Torta extremeña (a typical spanish cheese) I almost finish the bottle... hey! maybe no deception at all! ;) By the way, the cheese was artisan and it was extremely strong. It’s sweeped away with the cheese, but let me say that this cheese was a wild horse. Terrific!

- Blanco Nieva Verdejo 2004 (5.5 EUR aprox) DO Rueda
One of the ’verdejo’ best value IMHO. One of this wines, that when you are soooo tired and everything seems to be wrong, let you breath and wait for a better tomorrow. This wine and a nice sunset are enough. Well, let’s talk about the wine. Let me say that I’m far away of being objective with thiw wine. Anyway, this wine talks you very clearly, ’I am what I am’ as Yago says in Otello. Clear, clean, flowers, herbal hints, aniseed, white fruits as it warms. In a couple of days appears appel, litchis and sad roses (I mean what I mean).
It’s absolutely verdejo. A really nice wine and of my best values with good QPR.

- Canforrales Clasico Tempranillo 2005 (less than 3 EUR) DO La Mancha
Always easy, honest, young and fruity. As a difference with precedent vintages I find a rough touch. Really nice QPR.

- Cune Rosado 2005 (aprox 3 EUR) DOC Rioja
Nice and simple wine, without anything wrong. Absolutely correct indeed. Really it’s a thankful thing having in count how is everything nowadays. It’s nice pairing for summer pasta salads and when you’re not in the mood to look for anything else in landscape.
Nice QPR.
