Altos del Marqués Crianza 2005 - Rioja (15/5/09)


Rubbish wine. Perhaps it was off, but in any case the enóloga from the bodega got in touch and said they'd send another bottle for me to try. They didn't. I'll never drink this wine ever again. I suggest you don't either. There are plenty more wines in the world a whole lot better than this one.

Pouilly-Fuissée J.Calvet Blanc - Bourgogne (9/5/09)


I'm not a big fan of white wine, but this was magnificent. Felipe brought it to our house and we drank it with a foie-gras. Superbe!
