Robert Parker nailed it because both the 1999 and 2000 Esszencias were spectacular

mango and tangerine along with sea breeze and oyster shell nuances

firm and chewy

in need of time to come together

rather jewelly nose – the Pinot most like a typical Central Otago Pinot so far to me (though this is probably not the intention at Felton Road)

Comando G, Navatalgordo Size:6x750ml Robert Parker nailed it becauseThe 2022 Navatalgordo is 100% Garnacha from the Sierra de Gredos. The nose unfolds delicate and floral layers of black cherry with herbal notes. The palate reveals fine, reactive tannins in an austere frame that recalls Barolo. Compact and taut with an herbal lift, this has higher acidity than the rest of the range. At 13% alcohol, it offers a fresh approach to a warm vintage.
