Riba Guda 100% garnacha

A very original wine. 100% garnacha (about 7 euros at the local food shop). Very spicy and original taste. Better to open 3-4 hours before drinking.
G: 8/10 especially for its original taste.
I: I think is a very difficult wine...I give a 7.8/10

Ambari Malvasia


A-(nother) surprise from Mallorca. A Malvasia (a grape nearly lost in the island) from a small village in the Sierra Norte. By M. at the local wine store (don t know the price yet). Drunk with a very good fideua made by R. A first sweet taste that disappears in the mouth to leave a dry sensation. Difficult to forget.
G: 9/10
I: I think an 8.5/10 at least

Gres Saint Paul 2005



A very good wine...a present from french friends.
It was only 3 years old but it tastes you can keep for looooong. Drunk with Fra, Rob, Ir and Gk.
G: 8-9/10 (probably 10/10 in few years).
I: very good...I would say 8.5/1o

Barceliño



Barceliño 2004. Mixed between Tempranillo and Garnache. Oak aged.

Finally an acceptable wine for a very little price (1.89euros, LiDL supermarket). Good oak taste. It needs a bit of air. I do not know how they manage to keep such a low price, but it tastes good....relatively to the price of course.

I: I liked it...on 10? probably 7
G: I agree.

G: It does not smell but it is not so bad. 5.5/10
B: it is acid.

Monasterio de Tentudia (2002)

A very good price for a good wine...but I generally love the wine from Extremadura. Bought at the "Auchan" (Al Campo).

Monsalvez 2004 Ribera del Duero


A good quality-price ratio at the local supermarket. Brought by M&R for a paella at X&D place.

M: It is good
R: ..mmm...not bad!
D: The wine is good
G: A bit acid, but probably it needs air.
