Vinanmeldelser

Presset tranebær, umodne bringebær og hvit pepper danner den tiltalende aromatiske basen for denne flasken som utforsker Kalamata-oliven og kardemomme på nesen. Det er stor energi i smaken, med anis,…

Den 170 mål store Rocim-eiendommen har produsert en seriøs, tett og kraftfull vin. Den er rik, drevet av smak av bjørnebær, mørk plomme og blomme. Syren som finnes er tilstrekkelig til å kontrastere…

Fantastisk, morsom vin. Aromaene er vakre: cola, svart bringebær, mørk te, vanilje, røyk og støvete krydder. På ganen er den klar, delikat. Den ser ut til å flyte, samtidig som det er kraftig frukt.…

Kombinerer en delikat kropp med kraftfulle smaker for å skape en feminin vin med betydelig kraft og finesse. Den unngår søtladenhet, heller mot mindre moden jord og tomat, selv om det finnes nydelige…

The wines from this remote ranch off of Jalama Road combine mossy forest-floor touches with dark hearty aromas, in this case showing pine, rust, juniper, thyme and purple fruit on the nose. The textu…

A selection of the better barrels from the Home Ranch, the Reserve is fantastically rich and complex. No mere fruit bomb despite scads of flavors ranging from apples and peaches through pears and man…

Foursquare, almost chunky, the tannins dominate black fruits, dark chocolate and spice flavors. There is considerable concentration here, along with initial high acidity. Straight from bottling, the…

Regarded as a Styrian Grand Cru, the Kranachberg produces landmark Sauvignon Blanc. In the hands of Wilhelm Sattler, the richness of the fruit, with its almost tropical spice element, is tinged with…

Relatively light and fruity with tight tannins. The wine has fresh acidity that still dominates the texture. There is a delicious spicy element that edges around the tannic core. It seems firm, not y…

There's a streak of citrus running down the spine. The lively acidity adds some zip to the blackberry and black cherry fruit. There's a smoky edge to the polished tannins, but those lemony acids keep…

A beautiful combination of ripe, tropical fruits with flint, honey and smoke. There is a great steely backbone here, offering a linear character as well as elegant, ageworthy fruit.

Once coaxed out of the glass, there is something ethereal about this Pinot Noir in its compelling, lifted nose of elderberry, wild raspberry and aromatic nettle. It is deceptively light on the surfac…

A wine that is structured and dominated at this stage by its tannins. The potential is there, showing in the rich, supporting fruit and berry flavors that come through as the wine opens up. Drink thi…

92-94 Very rich in character. The sweetness is there, but masked by the firm structure, the almost tannic texture. Great concentration.

92-94 Concentrated tannins, very rich, very firm, very dry at this stage. There is a more juicy character underneath, offering the potential of rich berry fruits. There's a new wood, smoky aftertaste.

92-94 Big and tannic, very firm and tough. Yet all the fruit is there, offering great potential. There is a ripe, juicy aftertaste. Under the same ownership as Château Léoville-Poyferré in Saint-Juli…

92-94 A closed up wine, although all the elements are there, promising great final balance, richness and power.

92-94 There is power and richness here, the wine has weight, delicious ripe fruits and a smooth texture. Under that surface is the powerful, dense texture.

With winemakers Anselmo Mendes and Diogo Lopes, there is a good pedigree to this wine. It shows in the dark tannins, the rich fruit and the concentrated structure. The wine is rich with great power a…

This is the best Potelle Syrah I've ever had, but be forewarned: It's an extraordinarily tannic wine that shows its 1,800-foot mountain origins. It clocks in at 13.9% alcohol, yet it's bone dry. The…

Not many $30 wines can offer fruit from 100-year-old vines, but this one does. It's full bodied and rich, with notes of plum and black cherries supported by hints of chocolate and vanilla. With its l…

A selection made at the end of the harvest (hence its name, The Best). It is an opulent, ripe wine, with fruit that has concentration, dark spice and pepper and rich, full-bodied texture. There is no…

The Calderara Sottana cru delivers wines with a more noticeable mineral presence. You'll get volcanic nuances of ash, smoke and slate backed by delicate flowers and small berry fruit. There's also a…

The discrete Henriot labeling is echoed in this elegant wine. Like so many Henriot Champagnes it has good bottle age, shows toast as well as light red fruits. There is a depth of flavor here, the tex…
