Vinanmeldelser

I en trippelpakke med 2014 Pinot fra Saffron Fields, viser denne reserve-nivå tetthet og ekstra kompleksitet. Syrlig og saftig bærfrukt samles til en konsentrert midtpalett, støttet av en forfriskend…

Omtrent to tredjedeler Shiraz og en tredjedel Grenache, dette er et fyldig, rikt eksempel på Barossa Valley-produkt. Hint av mynte og knust pepper tilfører nyanser til den modne bringebærfrukten, men…

Mourvèdre (45%), Grenache (31%) og Syrah (12%) utgjør hoveddelen av denne vinen, som er supplert med Counoise, Grenache Blanc og Picpoul. Livlige aromaer av knust pepper, bringebær, underskog, tørked…

A clear pedigree wine, this elegant Barbaresco offers notes of mature berry, cola, coffee and cedar wrapped around drying, firm tannins. Cellar age it two or three more years and pair it eventually w…

Finely balanced, a wine that exudes class and freshness. The green and yellow fruits fill the mouth, round but always with a layer of crispness. Everything comes together, the fruit, the acidity and…

Christine Saahs is a believer that high alcohol is not a necessity for a powerful, rich wine. And this proves her point. There is weight here, intensity, but the lower alcohol gives the wine poise an…

Good for Cinnabar for holding this Cab back a while, to let it develop in the bottle. Although it's still pretty tannic, it has entered its drinkability window. Dry and full-bodied, it shows classic…

The top white wine from Chantegrive, this is a smoothly wood-aged wine. However it doesn't lose sight of deliciously fresh, herbaceous fruits which come through crisply. That makes the resulting bala…

With smoky aromas and structured tannins, this is still young and firm. Under those tannins, the black currant fruit is developing to give a ripe wine with fine acidity and structure. Drink from 2020.

This balanced wine shows fine potential. Its structure dominates at the moment, with solid tannins, but the rich black fruit is all there. Let it develop over the next several years and drink from 20…

There's a distinctive old-school quality that comes from these century-old vines, which make a slightly lighter wine with intriguing, almost pre-aged aromas of dried cherry, balsamic raspberry and sa…

Toast, moist underbrush, grilled herb and balsamic aromas lead the nose. On the full-bodied austere palate, fine-grained tannins support tart cherry, cranberry, vanilla and star anise. Give this seve…

Potent aromas of road tar and black pepper meet very concentrated blackberry jam flavors and a sweet but not syrupy mouthfeel in this very dark-colored and full-bodied dessert wine. Made from traditi…

The second wine from the Saint-Julien estate, this is every bit as elegant as the grand vin, its black currant fruit developing to envelop the fine tannins. There is fine fruit, plenty of acidity and…

The Loin de l'Oeil grape lends itself easily to creating this rich, honeyed wine. It's intense, with a viscous texture and opulent apricot and bitter marmalade flavors. Drinkable now for its concentr…

Fragrant, floral and pretty in every way, this wine is also meaty in intense texture and beauty, with a bold beguiling entry that mellows on the midpalate. Balanced acidity supports notes of honey, h…

This could be labeled Cabernet Sauvignon; the only other grape is Cab Franc (11%). The vineyard's characteristic lush black cherry fruit is surrounded by even darker components: earth, balsamic, baki…

Easily the best MacMurray Ranch Pinot Noir ever. Shows impressive depth and complexity, with rich flavors of cherries, red currants, cola, pomegranates, persimmons and smoky sandalwood, finished with…

This is a beautiful wine to look at for the coppery-gold color and the fierce explosion of fine bubbles. Smells luscious, with subtle raspberry, lime, bread and lees aromas. This is the best rosé Han…

This lovely wine has classic green-apple and lime aromas that are fully developed, with a nice backdrop of yeast and dough. In the mouth, it’s very rich. At eight years, the acids and tannins have mo…

Oh yeah! This is the real deal; with a toasty, elegant, wonderfully yeasty complexity. This gives you everything you hope for in a top-drawer Champagne: creaminess, texture, layers of toast, nuts and…

Earth and cola notes accent a true Burgundian nose of rustic raspberry and herbs. This is a stylish, reserved wine—one that sits nicely on the palate and glides down smooth while still holding its ca…

Pinot Noir character suffuses this wine, imbuing its aromas with a compelling meaty, leathery, sweaty quality. Full-bodied and earthy, it nevertheless shows great verve and liveliness in its brisk, c…

Tenuta Rapitalà steals the scene with this stunning warm-climate Chardonnay. The wine shows huge intensity and persistency, with lingering tones of apricot, vanilla, exotic fruit, pineapple and a tou…
