SAN MARZANO Il Pumo 2014 – Puglia Indicazione Geografica Tipica

A pure Primitivo from Puglia, not a stunning, but a nice drink.

p.s. not that you think I emptied this 5 Liter box in one weekend ... a sip every few days.

A pure Carinyena from Catalunya, 2015 vintage - very strong flavor.

Am I the only wine connoisseur here?

3 Monts - a great strong French golden ale

[soulpope]

Mayrhofer "Blaufraenkisch Hochaecker" DA 2015 - voluptuous still well defined budget red from an excellent vintage hinting what to expect from the to be later released top wines ....

Pepto Bismal, water and juice.  Now excuse me, I have to return to my religious services as I bow before the porcelain god...

At last I found a pure Carignan tasting like the one I had almost forty years ago!

Don't know - it was a gift. Well over my budget. Probably $75-95. Something like that. It was delicious.

This evening's delight: a rare pure Marselan from Southern France:

The Primitivo mentioned above was a little disappointing, tasty and full, but not as complex as I would have expected from a wine from that grape variety at € 10 a bottle. The Marselan at € 5 was a nice surprise, fresh and fruity, with a taste of cherries and smoky overtones.

Yes, sounds like it's an awesome wine you had.

 

 

 

Visconde de Borba Reserva 2011 , Southern Portugal.

$18/ 750 ml. I play soccer with a lot of Portuguese guys, so I decided to get a better Portuguese wine. Yesterday night I got a bottle of this, and had some of  it with a taco ground beef that I mixed with barley kasha. Was good.

Finished it off today, without any food. On its own though, not a great drinking wine. Too intense. Would be nice with a rack of lamb.
