Conde de Subirats Rose Cava Brut NV:
This is a great little bubbly for the money. Certainly not overly complex but well worth the ten dollar tariff. Light nose, with some flowers and fruit, very fresh. The rest is a balance of ripe strawberries, crushed rose petals and citrus peel. All around nice. 87 points
Pingus Flor de Pingus 2004:
I remember really enjoying this wine when it was released. If you own this wine and are thinking of popping one I might recommend waiting. It is very wound up, very dense and unforgiving at the moment. Full of dark, pummeling fruit, intense smoke and serious toast. It is, to say it lightly, a beast. And it is not playing very nice. I expect this wine to be very good- just not for a little while, but when it comes around I suspect it might be good for a long time. For now maybe keep your hands off? 91? points
