Ribera del Duero and a Bourgogne
Posted: Mon Feb 10, 2020 2:36 am
Last night, opened a young 2015 Tinto Pesquera Crianza. Dark color, nice nose, a bit reserved, but with those acidic rasberries, noble oak vanilla, minerals and light spicy fennel. In mouth, better, with more concentration than on the nose. Stays fresh rasberry tempranillo, smoke, vanilla, light herbs. Medium dry clay flavors too. Good final that is fresh. Will open more in the next 8-10 years. Very good. Tn: 89-90.
Tonight, a 2016 Hautes Côtes de Beaune Clos de la Perrière from Sébastien Magnien is hitting above it weight. Medium dark pinot, with nice Côtes de Beaune nose of red berries, red cherries, fresh and spicy. In mouth, aerial fruit, red berries, acidic berries, but surrounded in noble oak, spices (cinnamon and white pepper) and with a long final of kirsch. Kinda light and long and complex at the same time. Excellent and perfumed. Tn: 90-91.
