Vinanmeldelser

Stram, stilket vin, veldig strukturert. Det er frukt, men den er urteaktig, grønn, mangler modenhet. Tanninene har samme karakter.

Ganespaletten viser moderat sitrusaktig syre som legger grunnlaget for en smaksprofil av svovel, grapefrukt og mandarin. Pyraziner og bitterhet dominerer i avslutningen.

Aromaer av tomatblad, bakebønner og stuet plomme gir en smal, stram gane. Smaker av urteaktig bringebær og rød plomme har en grønn, mintaktig komponent som starter tidlig og varer til en tørr, rå avs…

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

Gummiaktige, medisinske aromaer antyder jod og latex. Denne blandingen av Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon og Syrah er tung og slapp, med bakte, urteaktige smaker som avsluttes saftige og viser noter av to…

Pinched and hard, no two ways about it. The bouquet is herbal and rubbery, with blackened berry and plum aromas. Feels clampy, with hard tannins and herbal berry flavors. Leafy as it bangs and clangs…

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…

It is the Fernão Pires that gives this wine its class and freshness. The Sauvignon Blanc in the blend, with its herbaceous character, seems to clash. The wine is crisp with lemon flavors and brings a…

Leafy aromas of tomato and green herbs pile on the pyrazines. This distinctly herbal Cabernet is full and chunky in feel, with flavors that follow the nose: bell pepper and spicy tomato lead the way.…

With light tannins and herbal fruit flavors, this is a crisp, tight wine. Red-berry flavors show through along with a greener character and tannins that are not quite ripe. Drink now.

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.

Stewy, muddled, herbal aromas come prior to a chunky, chewy palate. Flavors of compost, nutty berry fruits and turned earth lack freshness, while a stewed finish tastes mulchy and feels tannic.

Here's a curious Recioto with aromas of green olive and caper backed by blackberry and some distant spice. Sweetness and succulence push the wine forward over the palate but those green, herbal notes…

Stewed, saucy aromas of grassy tomato and herbal berry fruits are foxy. This feels cutting and rough, while minty green-berry flavors come with a note of animal fur.

This inky, unfiltered Merlot is a chore to get through. For starters, the saturated bouquet is murky and less than fresh. In the mouth, expect a blocky, extracted mouthfeel and roasted flavors of her…

Almost citrusy aromas of candied berry are jammy and unconvincing. The mouth is narrow and pinched in feel, with herbal, wiry berry flavors that finish minty and hot.

This organic wine was made without added preservatives. After swampy aromas, the flavors are nicely fruity and herbaceous, with a light-medium body and a clean finish.

Aromas of juniper and green herbs are raw and austere. This cool-climate Cab Franc is severe in feel, with tart currant, oak and green flavors. Hard tannins, spice notes and herbaceous red-fruit flav…

Soft, bland aromas of applesauce and herbaceous green fruits lead to a jumbled, acidic palate that's awkward and scouring. Green flavors of lime and grass finish tangy.

Herbal aromas give a crisp character. The fruit is not entirely ripe, so the wine relies on its tannins and acidity to get balance.

A light and fruity wine that is ready to drink. From the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region, it has red berry fruits and juicy acidity. A greener, herbal character in the background suggests grapes…

Leathery, rubbery aromas are pinched, stalky and unripe. This Patagonian blend is drawing and astringent, with bland, cool-climate red-berry flavors that have an herbal streak. Saucy, tannic and heav…

Prickly, sweaty aromas include matchstick and herbaceous green-fruit notes. In the mouth, this is chunky yet citrusy. Flavors of grassy citrus trend toward green, while a pithy, citric finish is bitt…

Hardly run of the mill, this offering is just too much like fruit juice and not enough like white wine. Basic lemon and grapefruit flavors are offset by some herbaceous grassiness, and the finish is…
