Hola! Sunday, May 28 2006
We arrived back in Sydney early this morning..unlike our bags which are currently in some other part of the world. We beat them in the mad dash to get from Heathrow T1 to T4 to board our flight (after being bumped) with about 31 seconds to spare due to a two hour delay with our connection from Barcelona. Running flat chat with two wooden boxes of 04 Roda Cirsion and a back pack full of Vina El Pison, Pesquera and San Leon Manzanilla is not recommended exercise for the wine enthusiast..
I’ll have a few winery write ups and some tasting notes to throw up over the next few days but cannot upload any pictures because the cable is in the bag..somewhere. Spain is hot hot hot and two weeks is not nearly long enough.

Mmmm, El Pison. How are the 2004s coming along in general?
Welcome back, El Presidente! Cervaza anyone?!

Did not try many 2004..but they reckon 2004 is near as good as 2001 which was the best vintage since 64 (I think)…
Dos canas por favor!

Sounds like you had a great time, can’t wait for the details.
That 04 Cirsion is some great gear, and so much cheaper in Spain!

Welcome back GW, quickly to the tasting bench! Lincon has been tempting us with french wines I cannot afford!

Bring it on - Spainish wine is sooo hot right now.
I just bought 24 bottles from Spanish Inquisition.
I will try and write up some TN.

Michel, I guess you meant “acquisition”, unless the pricing was especially pointed.

You need to get used to the 2-hour delay getting out of Spain - it’s always like that.
