Smoke, flint, mature stone fruit, dried sage and honey aromas come together in the glass. The delineated palate shows nice depth, offering yellow apple, candied citrus zest, apricot and mineral balan…

This rich, wood-aged wine is full of yellow fruits with a tight texture. Mineral driven, it's crisp with its apple acidity and bright, steely structure. It's so fresh now, but could age well to creat…

The Cambres vineyard sits on the hills just to the south of the Douro river, giving a rich, perfumed style of wood-aged wine. This is structured, with a dry core and big black fruits that will soften…

A full-bodied, slightly oxidative wine that wears its character well. There is a toastiness here along with some apple and apricot fruits, giving a rich feel to the wine. It's ready to drink but can…

This Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend has high ambitions, to judge by the richness. It is absolutely massive in blackberries, black currants, dark chocolate and caramelized oak. It's far too strong to…

This vibrant red opens with aromas of ground pepper, dark-skinned fruit and blue flower. The tight palate delivers ripe black cherry, crushed raspberry, white pepper and aromatic herb along a backbon…

A majority varietal, a dying breed in the Napa Valley, this also has 5% Petite Sirah. The combination is dense and syrupy in strawberry and a tightness of oak. Time will soften its edges, and there's…

The blend of 56% Grenache and 40% Shiraz also includes 4% Sagrantino, said to enhance structure. For its size, the wine is remarkably restrained, combining slightly resinous cherry fruit with hints o…

Belnero is a Sangiovese-based wine (with a tiny percentage of outside grapes) that shows loads of Montalcino typicity and elegance. If the rules governing Rosso di Montalcino are changed, those new w…

Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Cabernet Franc and Merlot, this wine is exuberantly rich and sweet in ripe blackberry, black cherry and chocolate fruit. Smoky oak plays a crucial role, in both f…

A good, dry, fleshy wine. Not showing well now in its youth, because it's tannic and unintegrated, with flavors flying all over the place. But there's a solid core of blackberry and black cherry sour…

Dry, dustily tannic and somewhat closed down, this Cabernet clearly wants some time in the cellar. It has rich, juicy blackberry and cherry flavors, but the tannins and acidity close in fast, locking…

An interesting blend of 37% Carignan, 26% Shiraz, 20% Petit Verdot, 15% Petite Sirah and 2% Viognier, this is a delightful red that offers tons of complexity and character. Black plum, cherry and cur…

A full-bodied, flamboyant version of this benchmark bottling, the 2007 verges on too much, with lush tropical fruit framed by smoky notes and finishing spicy and slightly warm. Unlikely to have the l…

Aromatics of dill and vanilla are straight from the Old World, but otherwise this is modern and flush. Aromas of cedar and wood resin are also present in front of a tannic, roasted palate that featur…

Truffle, new leather, coconut and spiced plum aromas come together in the glass. The taut, full-bodied palate delivers mature black cherry, licorice, coffee and ground pepper set against a backdrop o…

Smoky spice and dried herbs on the nose are followed by flavors of rustic spice and red fruit on the palate. Vibrant fruit and muscular tannins are integrated by a clean minerality. The wine has nati…

This delicious rosé is a combination of sweet strawberry and a touch of lemon crispness on the nose and the palate. Its light, elegant character is supported by a dancing acidity and a balance of rip…

The richness of the aroma belies the elegance of this outstanding Pinot Noir. Tightly woven scents of sweet herb, tobacco, clove, forest floor fungus and spicy red fruits provide an introduction to a…

Questionable value at $70, but this is very good and rather unique white Rioja. Remelluri uses a multitude of common and unheard-of grapes, and they hit it with a lot of oak. Still, amid the oily ric…

Robuste aromaer av svart frukt som bær og solbær kommer sammen med en mild animalsk tone og læraktige dufter. Dette er syltetøyaktig og litt heftig i munfølelsen, mens smaker av rosiner, bær og sjoko…

Som vanlig for Embruix er nesen generøs og syltetøyaktig, med utvunne smaker av druete, svarte frukter og jord. Smaken er glatt og syltetøyaktig, med lette tanniner og modne smaker av plomme og solbæ…

Vinstokker over 20 år regnes som gamle vinstokker for denne vinen. En moden vin, den er full av tropiske frukter, med en tett tekstur og intens grønnfrukt-syre. Mineralrik med balansert frukt, den vi…

Dette er en glatt og rund vin. Med fine tanniner og smaker av mørke bær, er den strukturert og konsentrert. Krydderen fra lagringen på tre kommer tydelig frem mot slutten, sammen med attraktiv syre.…
