I tasted the 2011 Manuel Raventós Negra from a regular bottle and from a magnum

Hints of grilled meat and exotic dried spices accent red raspberries and redcurrants in this full-bodied but exceptionally silky and elegant red that meets the high expectations for such a pricey bottling

it still needs another year or two

give the wine its feel

Baumard, Quarts Chaume other_regions_italy I tasted the 2011 ManuelStunning. With mature, burnished notes of candied citrus peel and ginger, clove, fig, quince paste, persimmon and green tea, this offers a rare level of complexity. Yet a current of live wire acidity still runs underneath it all, cutting through to a mouthwatering finish that makes you beg for more. A case study in greatness. Baumard non blind vertical. Drink now through 2030. 1,000 cases made. JM
