Vinanmeldelser

Sitrongelearomaer gir denne en merkelig karakter. Frukten gjenspeiler den samme kunstige smaken. Det er vanskelig å se hvor den er på vei.

Med mindre du virkelig elsker eik, er denne altfor trepreget. Smørdampet toast, kremet mais og popcorn- aromaer følges opp på ganen av tykke, klistrete smørsmaker og svært lite frukt. Ikke tiltalende.

Tjære-, blekk- og gummi-aktige aromaer dominerer denne Syrahs nese. Munnfølelsen er tynn og ganen litt hul, med generiske smaker av blandede bær pluss litt jord. Avsluttes tanninrik.

Kamilletre- og sedertre-dufter delvis skjuler smaker som sentrerer rundt jord og pie-kirsebær. Frukten er litt tynn, og overliggende eikepreg fremhever bare dette.

Herbal, spicy and rubbery smelling, with mulchy berry aromas. Feels soft, creamy and confected, with more milk chocolate and vanilla flavor than legitimate fruit. Sweet and soft on the finish.

This forceful Mencía blend pounds away with heavy oak, lemon and violet aromas. The palate is scorching, scouring and short on balance. Inky berry and bitter flavors come with overpowering oak-based…

Yeasty, bready aromas of cantaloupe and citrus feed into an undefined palate that foams up on tongue. Citrus and melon flavors are bland, with powdered sugar and orange notes on the finish.

Apple and lime aromas are basic and distant. This is light on the palate, while green melon, lime, apple and green-bean flavors finish grassy, leesy, tart and bitter.

Yellow in color and thick in the bouquet. The nose is hard to peg, but there are notes of mustard and asparagus. The palate offers some orange and apple flavors, but also something similar to canned…

Moscato-like with its jasmine and lychee aromas, but things fall apart in the mouth. It's overly foamy and active, with bland flavors that lack the powdery, floral elements that can make Torrontés go…

This blend of Savatiano and Roditis is very popular in Greece and perhaps a bit too exotic for mainstream palates, but it's easy drinking and priced well. Aromas of citrus and melon are followed by p…

This wine has an element of candied watermelon and cherry in the aromas that gives it a rocky start, but on the palate, bright cherry, watermelon and spice are a bit more becoming. A simple wine with…

This one's heavily about the oak. Comes out with spiced-up, minty aromas. Next up is a full and biting palate with buttery lead flavors followed by bitter black fruit. Flashes by quick on the finish.

Rusty in color, with rubbery, chemical aromas. Feels tight, tannic and clampy, with hard, compromised flavors and bitterness to the finish. Astringent and just not that appealing.

Woody and baked up front, its cooked, rubbery aromas setting set up a surprisingly sheer and sharp palate that's short on substance and balance. Tastes generic, with linear acidity resulting in littl…

You'll find some mint and vegetal aromas and flavors side-by-side with intense, sugary sweet blackberry jam ones in this Zin. It's unbalanced to that degree.

A little strange and unusual on the nose, with a mix of grass, citrus and corn-like aromas. The palate is wayward and slightly citrusy, with a hint of grapefruit and also some vegetal flavors. Pretty…

Full-on banana aromas create a wine that tastes like an elderly nouveau. It does have some fruit and red cherries, but with a bitter edge, it really should have been drunk by now.

Compost aromas and a clunky feeling palate get this off on the wrong foot. Flavors of burnt berry fruit and sweetness fail to impress. This shows hardly any snap on a cloying finish.

Arabica coffee and toasted hazelnut aromas are layered on top of wild-berry notes. Overall, this medium-bodied wine feels soft and a tad runny.

Mulchy, leafy aromas lead to a pinchy palate with salty, hard berry flavors that lack cushion. This is a rough wine with saltiness and bitterness on the finish.

Thin and streamlined, this fresh sparkler offers mild aromas of peach and white flower. The wine is very simple and basic with a touch of sweetness on the close.

This sparkling Chardonnay from central Italy offers charred aromas of toasted almond followed by a thin, watery mouthfeel and a strong citrus aftertaste.

This is dark but somewhat green on the nose, with currant, raspberry, beet and green herb aromas. The palate feels tight to the point of abrasive, with herbal plum flavors. A minty, forceful finish r…
