Wine Tasting 1-4pm Saturday, Dec 3



Your host is Deidre Magnello.

Flaugeres Red 2007 $16.99
It displays smoke-wreathed black fruit aromas, and a satin-textured, deeply-rich palate, with beet root, peat, humus, stone, and saline-savory undertones. Not a bit of superficial sweetness or rusticity of tannin accrues to this Flaugeres’ polished finish. The epitome of 2007s ability to combine lift and vivacity with ripe richness and sheer density, Wine Advocate, 92 pts

Milcampos Ribera del Duero 2009 $15.99
The dense purple 2009 Milcampos Vinas Viejas was sourced from older vines and aged for 10 months in new American and Hungarian oak. Brooding black fruits, lavender, cinnamon, clove, soy, and pepper inform the nose of this powerful effort. It delivers greater density than the Milcampos bottling and will evolve for 2-3 years. Drink this lengthy effort from 2013 to 2021. Wine Advocate, 92 pts

Abad Dom Bueno Godello 2010 $16.99
Bodegas del Abad’s 2010 Abad Dom Bueno Godello was fermented and aged in stainless steel. Pear, apple, and mineral aromas inform the nose of this intense, nicely proportioned, spicy white. This lengthy effort will provide enjoyment for another 3 years. Wine Advocate, 91 pts

Dampt les Clos Bourgogne Blanc 2009 $19.99
Ripe, fulsome apple-pear fruit is firm and snappy; some subtle and somewhat unusual mineral notes contribute complexity.
