While sucking big time in so many ways \u2013 Prince, David Bowie, Alan Rickman, Ali, Janet Reno amongst so many others leaving us; Brexit; Zika; lying Ryan Lochte; Syria; Nice; Orlando; the U.S. election (we could be here all day) \u2013 it was a great year for the Corkscrew Concierge\u2019s wine journey. I definitely opened myself up to wines I\u2019d never had and had a great time sharing them with so many #WineFriends.

This Tempranillo was one of those \u201ccerebral\u201d wines that made me think as it continually evolved and had so many characteristics that seemed contrary to each other. It was powerful, yet smooth; spicy with opulent dark fruit; bold yet silky. And while I enjoyed this one when I drank it, it easily can offer another decade of cellaring. Sounds like reason to get more.<\/p>\n
