This is a powerful wine, with intense scents of pineapple leading a lively interplay of citrus, stone, Asian pear and spices. Thrilling texture, balance and length make this a standout, even in this…

From the distant 1994 vintage, this Vin Santo blend of Trebbiano and Malvasia has been aged an astonishing 15 years in small oak barrel. You can detect some of that evolution on the bouquet thanks to…

Big, round and lush, this is the fourth vintage for this wine, one of the best Chardonnays in Washington state. In this vintage it did not go through full malolactic, leaving a nice underlying acidit…

This is certainly dramatic in structure, akin to a young Pauillac from Bordeaux, with concentrated currant, cherry, pencil lead and cedar flavors wrapped into youthfully hard tannins. It needs time,…

L'Attitude needs a warm vintage to succeed, and it got one in '04. The wine, a blend of Carignane, Syrah and other Rhône reds, is dry and complicated, offering rich, earthy, Provençal herb flavors wi…

This is one of the most successful Pinots the winery has produced, and I have no doubt it's because the vintage was so cool. The wine is absolutely dry and has bracing acidity, with extraordinarily l…

Just released, this latest non-vintage from Jacquesson is very steely, austere, cool and elegant with apple and citrus acidity. It has freshness and balance. Still young, but very complete.

This is not from a generally declared Port Vintage year. However, the year did produce some exceptional wines, such as this one. It has a firm tannic structure under opulent black fruits. Beautifully…

It takes a precision winemaker to craft a Pinot Noir with such detail from a cool vintage in a cool region. Jon Meuret (founder of Maison Bleue) has the right stuff, as this new project demonstrates.…

This is a beautiful wine, fully expressive of the vineyard and vintage. It's showy in juicy red and black wild berries, with just-right additions of cinnamon and black pepper. Full bodied and concent…

Ripe aromas of passionfruit, kiwi and nectarine rise alongside greener elements of celery stalk, wet thyme and Granny Smith apple on this promising early look at the vintage. The tongue tingles throu…

Nicole's is a consistent stunner, upholding its reputation just fine with this vintage, a vibrant and spicy take on rich, robust cherry and black raspberry that's both juicy and smooth. The finish wr…

Intensely concentrated flavors of sweet cantaloupe, tangerine and peach belie the difficulties inherent to Mosel's 2013 vintage. This spätlese is unusually rich and silken on the palate, yet maintain…

This wine is earthy, heavyset and reflective of a hot vintage. On the palate, this is ripe and chewy, with almost syrupy weight. Showing notes of robust dark chocolate, with a mix of oak, fruit and t…

Unless you knew that this was Dominus and had tasted older vintages, you might not be impressed. In its youth the wine is tannic and dry and linear. However, it is Dominus and it does need cellaring.…

This brilliant Pinot Noir exhibits the finest qualities of the great 2007 vintage. It's a big wine, filled with fruity flavor and sizable tannins, but so fresh and silky, it's drinkable now, with dec…

Crisp and luscious, this coastal Chardonnay shows off its cool-climate origins and fine vintage. Displays ripe pineapple tart, green apple butter and flamboyant lime flavors, enriched with sweet smok…

This is great Champagne, in the bottle-aged Henriot style. It's a classic Chardonnay, ripe, creamy, packed with yellow fruits, and finely balanced with a great waft of toast. A high percentage of old…

The softness of the 2000 vintage is reflected in this delicious, gentle, ripe wine. It is full of soft red fruits, lifted easily by the fresh red currant acidity and cranberry texture. It is showing…

This was the final vintage Patrick Campbell fully presided over before selling the winery. It's a dense and compact wine, showing mountain tannins framing black currant, cassis, mineral, violet and n…

Formet som en sommerfugl (papillon), er denne vinmarken en av de mest kjente i Savennières. Den er veldig rik og moden, fra en varm årgang. Med sine aprikos- og pæresmaker og sin rike tekstur, fremhe…

Denne andre vinen fra Château Palmer er tett og strukturert. Med modne lag av mørke frukter og saftig Merlot som viser seg tydelig, viser den allerede potensialet i årgangen. Generøs og moden, vinen…

Dette er Knolls flaggskipvin, fra Dürnstein Schütt vinmark. Den er kraftfull, intens, en opptelling av modne smaker, selv i den vanskelige 2007-årgangen. Vinen fremhever krydder, gule frukter, ferske…

Moden, glatt og ren, med aromaer av asfalt, tobakk og sigarkasse foret med sedertre, sammen med tørr, fremtredende frukt. Ganen er perfekt balansert, med blomsteraktige, friske smaker av bær, cola, u…
