Vinanmeldelser

Aggressiv i starten, denne Garnacha lukter kornete og grov. Tydelig fatlager gir en kremete munnfølelse, mens urtete og grønne bærsmaker avsluttes bittert.

Baked and raisiny smelling, with kirsch. In a word, it's stewy. Ditto for the mouthfeel, which is chunky and heavy. Features thick black plum, herb and carob flavors and feels beefy on the finish.

Funky aromas of nutty, briny citrus fruits and apple come with a whiff of skunk. This is flat in feel, with sugary, creamy flavors of green melon. A foamy, flowery finish tastes candied and feels bor…

Hard, rubbery cherry and berry aromas lead to a raw, underdeveloped palate. This wine made from the local Valencia-region grape variety Forcallà is outright tart and tomatoey, with a touch of red-plu…

Lychee, lemon-lime and bath soap aromas set up a foamy, rough, coarse palate. Flavors of soapy tropical fruits seem almost artificial, and so does the finish, which is sugary sweet.

On the nose, this is fully oaked, charred, spicy and familiar. In the mouth, however, it takes a dive; brutal, scouring acidity and killer tannins create a rugged, lemony mouthfeel. Flavors of toasty…

Cherry, plum and spice aromas are lively, but the palate is highly citric and acidic. Short, drying sour cherry and plum flavors turn hot, peppery and ultimately bitter on the finish.

Mint and jammy plum and raspberry aromas are a touch spicy. This is astringent in feel, with dry, oaky red-berry and tomato flavors. An angular, tart finish fades quickly.

Rooty initial aromas veer toward animal and stalky berry fruits as this unfolds. Raw, hard and leathery in feel, this turns out to be low on ripeness as leafy, stalky flavors take over before ending…

Aromas of apple cider are oxidized and grassy. This offers mealy peach flavors that, like the nose, seem oxidized. A bland but not bad finish sends this Viura-Verdejo blend on its way.

Leafy, earthy red-berry aromas are backed by a grabby, drying, tannic palate. Lightly herbal black-fruit flavors are followed by dry, rubbery cherry and plum blandness.

Dry, saline-like overtones on jumpy plum and berry aromas and a hard, tannic palate make for a tough beginning. Equally tough berry fruit flavors have skins and bitterness issues, while the finish is…

A heavily oaked nose smells of pencil shavings and creamy berry scents. This feels raw, choppy and highly tannic, while red-fruit flavors are buried by an oak-based covering of milk chocolate. Heavy…

The aromas on this wine are borderline offputting, with petrol and diesel exhaust leading the way. It's a viscous, blowsy offering with 15% abv and powdery, sugary flavors of melon and tropical fruit…

This overpriced Cava is all about the packaging and not much about the quality of the wine in the bottle. It smells acrid and burnt, and while the mouthfeel is fine, it tastes sulfuric and dried out,…

Normally I'm a fan of Juvé y Camps. This bottling is bland on the nose, with a cleaning-solution aroma. The palate is foamy in feel and short in flavor, with a strange blend of bitter lettuce, brine…

This semi-sweet Cava boasts a mostly neutral nose. On the palate, it feels like flat soda, with candied lemon-lime flavors that finish lightly oxidized and wheaty.

Faint aromas suggest white gumdrop. This feels flat, with flavors of spicy, yeasty apple and a soft, fleeting finish.

Vague tropical fruit aromas give way to a petrol note. High in acid but even higher in sugar, this offers flavors of orange and lime that finish fast.

This brut nature is citric and bubbly on the palate after opening with aromas of weeds and spring onion. Flavors of lemon, herbs, onion and mustard coalesce in front of a bitter finish.

This is briny, earthy and pickled on the nose, while the foamy palate offers peach and orange flavors that finish pithy.

Aromas of chewable vitamins, apples and pine needles set up a plump, soft palate of bland, pithy grapefruit flavors.

Earthy, medicinal plum and berry aromas are also a bit mulchy and leathery in character. A disjointed, tannic palate brings dry oak, medicinal berry and green flavors. Chocolate rises up on the finis…

Aromaer av tropisk frukt og melis er upresise. Denne blandingen er rund og fyldig i munnen, med umodne nektarin- og appelsinsmaker. En bitter, salt ettersmak viser et snev av ferskensmak.
