Well here is a stella find, out of Catalonia, Spain. Sangre de Toro, 2007. Beautiful wine, deep plum with some old world mustiness on the nose, has some teeth/bite on the tongue, but lacks the usual acid hit from some of the NZ reds, finishes smooth as you like and leaves you waiting for more. Was nice company to the pasta that went along with it, sun dried tomato, spinach and choritzo. I walked into the local shop Mondo Vino, walked around the specials table and picked this up, $16.99, go find one now. Check torres wines here.
Also of mention is the Rippon, “Emma’s Block”, Mature Vine Pinot Noir, 2008 there was a commentary on the national programme today. I haven't tried it personally but if it is like any of the historical pinots to come out of Rippon it'll be one for the cellar. As described this arternoon- "musty, old dusty potpourri, earthy like an old damp log", Hmmm sounds good. Check it out and order it here.
