Vinanmeldelser

Mørk jord og tobakk krydrer aromaene til denne grand cru, fulgt av smaker av svarte kirsebær og urter. Cabernet Franc-andelen skinner tydelig gjennom som en distinkt ugressaktig aroma, men balanseres…

Firm, earthy and fruity, this is a chunky wine, with a core of tannins to go with the fruit. It is not for aging, its black berry juice demanding attention now. A great barbecue wine.

Smooth, soft wine, very accessible and up-front. The stewed fruit flavors and fresh acidity give an attractive lift to this open wine.

Aromas of crusty blackberry are dark and herbal, while the palate is zesty and fresh, with tight acidity supporting flavors of cassis, black cherry, cola nut and pepper. Toasty, herbal and licorice-l…

Good but limited Cabernet that opens with equal amounts of dark fruit, fine rubber and settled oak. The palate is meaty and thick, with plodding tannins giving support to black plum and berry flavors…

Comprised of traditional Port varieties, this is a very dry, high-acid wine of a certain charm. With its silky texture and cherry and rose petal flavors, you might mistake it for a countrified Grenac…

Super-fruity, with intensely concentrated blackberries, cassis and milk chocolate, while the oak is very heavy in sweet caramel and buttered toast. Not showing much now beyond sheer power. Could deve…

This is a gravel- and mineral-textured wine that has a very structured feel, with red berry flavors and firm tannins. Still young, it is a wine that should soften, so wait until 2016.

This soft and fruity wine is crisp, fragrant and fresh. It has light acidity that balances with the forward apple flavor, as well as a dry lime edginess and nervy texture. Drink now. Screwcap.

With its apricot and ripe pear aromas, this is a full and rounded wine. It has a good balance between acidity and ripe fruit. It is floral, smooth and ready to drink.

This wine is young but ripe, with spice and blackberry fruits. It has a core of mineral tannins that are a reminder of the hard schist rocks of the Douro. With this dry structure, it needs to be aged…

Vibrant, fruity aromas of red cherry concentrate and bubble gum powder ride over a sweet sawdust note on the nose. The palate shows a bit of depth and darkness, with tart black plum and grippy plum s…

Reduced blueberry sauce hovers around a spiced cherry core. A rich palate of tangy blueberry and blackberry feels thick, yet there's enough acidic kick to keep it in check. The grippy tannins give am…

Named after the impressive 10-mile long Vasco da Gama bridge that spans the Tagus estuary, this wine is soft, rounded and fruity. It has delicious, ready-to-drink flavors of ripe cherries and juicy p…

Light in color, this wine offers fresh but concentrated dark berry and cherry flavors and strong black tea and rose petal aspects. The acidity is moderate and supportive.

This gentle, quaffable wine offers light flavors of strawberry and apple. There's generous acidity, and despite the fairly substantial alcohol, it's modest in its proportions.

Soft and fruity, this has broad red-fruit flavors. Acidity, light tannins and a ripe, perfumed character from the blend of Syrah and Touriga Nacional make it rich and warming.

Strong, slighlty overripe blackberry and currant flavors combine with high alcohol to give this Zin a raisined note and Port-like heat. WIth some glycerine sweetness, it's definitely a barbecue wine.

This 50-50 blend of Montepulciano and Sangiovese opens with earthy aromas of tilled soil and blue flower, accented by ripe red berries. The palate is one dimensional with juicy black cherry, raspberr…

Earthy aromas of cola and baked berry fruits introduce a saturated, tannic mouthfeel that supports dark-berry flavors that turn more herbal, stalky and mulchy with airing. The more this sits in the g…

This wine is as rich as its dark color suggests. It has a sense of power, while it has also kept its fruitiness. There is good acidity with wood aging flavors, the spirit only showing at the end.

Light in color, the wine from hand-picked Touriga Franca, Touriga Nacional and Tinta Barroca grapes has strawberry flavors, light acidity and a fresh finish. It is, of course, sweet, hinting at the s…

Made principally from Touriga Nacional, this is a rich wine with attractive acidity and strawberry fruitiness. It is ripe, touched with caramel and finished with wild raspberry flavors.

From a well-regarded site in the Horse Heaven Hills, this pure Malbec is clean and well-proportioned, but a bit on the simple side. Plain red fruit flavors, accented with light barrel notes, quickly…
