My picks for February...


2004 Remelluri Bianco, Rioja, Spain
Gold color, a mineral flavors and some tropic fruits on the nose. Quite complex and with several layer on the palate. Very nice acidity and yet with silky texture. Smoky, nutty, lychee and great minerality. This is memorable wine with a gorgeous finish. (90 pts)


2007 Clos del Portal 'Negre de Negres', Priorat, Spain
Dark read with reach nose on black fruits, meat and oak. Quite juicy with lovely balance and nice acidity. Chocolate, oak, spices... having in mind the modes price (compared to other Priorat)... very impressive. (88 pts)


2001 Château Saint-Bric, Saint-Emilion, Grand Cru
Brownish read, with some sweet nose, oak, spices... red fruits on the palate with light spices and oak. Well integrated tannins. (86 pts)
