Sancerre and Rioja

Dinner at Nino's Cozinha.

2005 Château de Sancerre Cuvée du Connetable - initially nose was a little muted, with lemon, minerals, toasty oak and a little bit of buttery notes.

2001 Marqués de Riscal Baron de Chirel - one of the bottles I carried back from the winery a few years ago. A very nice wine, with sweet fruit, vanilla and smoky nose. Full-bodied and still a bit tannic, with a long finish.
