Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

[Daver6]

Still really young. I'll consider revisiting the second bottle in another 5+ years.

Very excellent Ribera del Duero red tonight. We visited the winery a few years ago. Just nicely aged.

Couldn't decide…

Unfortunately I was given this to drink at a friends house on the weekend. What made this $6.00 wine even worse is that it was served stone cold straight from the fridge.

Are you still friends? Or are they trying to tell you something?

Some of the more interesting wines last night.

SV comparison was particularly insightful and of interest to me - Jamet trounced over the other two, Runrig has all the stuffing but it's a beast.

1967 Barolo The Aussie dry reds I was less of a fan.

Did the '67 borolo have anything left in it? But surely the Clonakilla was a bit young...

My guess would have been a bucket load of sediment And should still have been good with decent storage but I'm also interested in hearing how it was.

The '67 Barolo was fantastic actually and yes still had plenty of life, the nose was unreal but the difference from a Plum PN glass vs a Zalto was night and day. Provenance was known to be impeccable, as was hand carried back from a very reputable NYC vendor.

Both the Clonakilla and Jamet were too young '18 and the Runrig '16 was way way too young. I just wanted to see what a young Jamet bottle was like (even if Cote du Rhone) for some validation of buying

Some other bottles of the night, LEAS wasn't well received given the wet vintage or sleep stage of the wine, but I thought it was fine.
