Vinanmeldelser

Veldig rik, nesten suppeaktig, dette er en nytelsesfull vin, ikke særlig strukturert og derfor ikke sannsynlig å eldes lenge. Men om 2–3 år, drikk denne for sine plommefrukter, sin tørkede fruktrikdo…

Plomme, myk røyk, grillet kjøtt—dette er en maskulin vin med en herlig, smakfull stil. Integrert og fyldig, den tilbyr myke men lagringsdyktige tanniner og en krydret men balansert profil. Elegant me…

Denne top cuvée fra Château Cadillac har flotte, friske solbærfrukter, mørke plommeskall og søte tanniner. Den er også tydelig lagret på eikefat, og dette elementet trenger å roe seg. Vent ett år til…

Det er en høy andel Merlot i denne vinen, noe som kommer til uttrykk i dens modne mykhet, med en dyp sødme som går gjennom hele smaken. Tanninene er til stede, men bare så vidt merkbare.

Tre elementer, allerede i balanse, bidrar til suksessen til denne vinen. For det første den rike frukten, saftig bjørnebær og morbær, løftet av syrlighet. For det andre det nye eiketreet, som krydrer…

Rik, solid, med modne krydder- og svarte plommesmaker. Den betydelige rikdommen balanseres med mørke tanniner, som gir en følelse av finmasket tekstur til denne solide vinen.

This is a nice Bordeaux-style blend with pretty cherry and currant fruit and some cedar shadings, but lack the complexity of others in its style. It's straight forward, polite and restrained.

This is complex and compelling. A spicy, minty, thyme-like character comes out in the aroma and continues in the flavor, most likely from some new barrels used in aging the wine. It's an attractive c…

The estate belongs to the Borie family, one of the grand names of Bordeaux, with the wine making done by the team of Château Ducru-Beaucaillou in Saint-Julien. The result is an aromatic, balanced win…

A blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 15% Malbec and 10% Petit Verdot, this reflects a pleasing mixture of each, with notes of blackberry, raspberry, plum and fresh herbs. Fruit flavors are…

A solid, foursquare wine, flaunting its tannins but not forgetting the rich weight of fruit underneath. Mint flavors go with the chocolate and dark plums.

A powerful, dense and still youthful wine. It balances a fresh blackberry fruit character with smoky tannins and delicious, bright and juicy acidity.

Ripe, smooth, rich fruits, juicy strawberry flavor and fresh acidity. The texture is solid and dense, with an obvious potential for aging.

Mint and eucalypt aromas set the scene for a modern, polished wine, packed with wood tannins as well as ripe black fruits. Currently, the tannins are winning giving a wine that is dark, structured an…

Rich, concentrated wine, with generous fruits and soft tannins. It has super-ripe black plums, a touch of chocolate and spice from wood aging. Powerful, juicy, fruity, likely to age well over the med…

Just under five years in age, this wine's Cabernet Sauvignon-dominant profile shows through its full-bodied mouthfeel, dense tannins and cassis flavor. It's a big, new-oaky wine that's forward with c…

Trine, named for the three main partners at Pepper Bridge winery, is predominantly equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, with a final 12% of the blend divvied up among the other three Bordeaux r…

Produced by the winemaking team of Château Giscours in Margaux, this is impressive for a simple Bordeaux. It has weight, rich blackberry fruits, structure and concentration. It could even age.

Produced at Château Haut-Bailly, this concentrated red show the attractive fruit of 2011. It's tannins are relatively gentle, a fine counter-point to the red berry and currant fruits. It's a wine for…

Rich and smooth, this is a good example of the sumptuous 2009 vintage. It is soft, ripe with blackberry and red plum fruits. It is already developing well. It's a medium-term wine, already juicy and…

Dry and firm, this wine just escapes being too toasty. Instead there is room for the fruit to begin to show, with black-currant flavors and fresh acidity. It's not a wine for aging, so drink from 201…

Already balanced, this is a rich wine, packed with jammy fruit and tannins. The concentration contrasts with the intense, fresh acidity. Good depth of flavor comes with a dense texture and a final sh…
