I love Spanish wines and with the weather warming up, it's the perfect time to enjoy bottles like this. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-54377892440432466962010-01-20T06:17:31.658-08:002010-01-20T06:17:31.658-08:00I adore this wine.

Definitely try a more recent vintage, like you said, because it has been a fave of mine for years.Michael Hugheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11593120496257449050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-15014726452041089772010-01-19T11:33:51.504-08:002010-01-19T11:33:51.504-08:00Joe,

I remember early on I thought older automatically meant better, and would search through wine shops for some forgotten bottle. Ended up with a lot of strange wine that way. <br /><br />Cheers,<br />BenitoBenitohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15642446480589939085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10338337.post-59061462305786617512010-01-19T08:17:53.872-08:002010-01-19T08:17:53.872-08:00I like those "Cava" grapes in a still wi...I like those "Cava" grapes in a still wine (the "René Barbier Catalunya Mediterranean White NV" is often my go-to for cooking at $6, but it's not bad at all to drink, especially for that price). I could see how these have no aging (ageing?) potential, so a 2004 may have been a little weird. Yes, weird. These are the kinds of half-baked descriptors I use.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11188665746443591632noreply@blogger.com
