Vinanmeldelser

Tastes unnatural and manipulated, with sugary sweet orange and apricot jam fruit flavors, highlighted by uncomfortably sour acidity.

For the price, this is not a good effort. It's overoaked and horsey smelling, with a heavy, overripe palate that tastes herbal and like hickory-infused blackberry. Flat and stewy on the finish.

This Zin is too sweet and simple. Tastes like raspberry tea with a couple spoons of white sugar.

Tastes like orange juice with an extra hit of white sugar, sprinkled with cinnamon, vanilla and an oaky sweetness.

Woody and baked up front, its cooked, rubbery aromas setting set up a surprisingly sheer and sharp palate that's short on substance and balance. Tastes generic, with linear acidity resulting in littl…

Tastes sweet and hot, like an inexpensive Port, with sugary cherry-berry jam flavors. The official alcohol is 16%.

This Barbera is soft, sweet and simple. It shows the rich tannins of the variety, but isn't ageworthy. Tastes like melted blackberry jam mixed with anise, black pepper and smoke.

This is the first varietal Xarello we've seen from Sumarroca and doesn't have us begging for more. The nose is neutral except for some petrol, while the palate is citric and tastes like you might exp…

Full-on banana aromas create a wine that tastes like an elderly nouveau. It does have some fruit and red cherries, but with a bitter edge, it really should have been drunk by now.

The nose on this blend of Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon is a bit tight, with subtle notes of cocoa powder, raspberry and angel food cake. On the palate, fine tannins give struc…

With sharp acidity, a hot mouthfeel and rich flavors of cassis liqueur and chocolate-covered raisins, this Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend tastes more like Port than a dry table wine. Lots of new Fren…

This sparkling Chardonnay from central Italy offers charred aromas of toasted almond followed by a thin, watery mouthfeel and a strong citrus aftertaste.

This is a leathery, stalky type of Malbec with fierce acidity and a pinched mouthfeel. Try as you might to find richness and heft, this is going to come across acidic and narrow, with herbal flavors…

A simple wine, it tastes overoaked and thin in oranges and apricots, with brisk acidity.

Tastes rustic and harsh, with acidity giving it a sting. The fruit is drying out and turning raisiny.

This is so heavy it's nearly a solid and not a liquid. Maximum ripeness is on display at all check points, especially the palate, which is syrupy, raisiny and viscous on the finish. This is as rich a…

Denne rene varietalsbuttlingen tilbrakte to år i fat. Den er ekstremt læraktig, utørket, og lukter og smaker som salrommet. Dette er ikke terroir. Det er mest sannsynlig relatert til fatet.

Den smaker tilsynelatende søtt, som en godteri-bar med honning, appelsinekstrakt, vanilje og ristede mandler.

Denne overmodne Cab-en smaker som essensen av solbær, rosiner og svisker. Den er knusktørr og ganske tanninrik. Denne ubalanserte vinen kommer ingen vei, så drikk opp.

Denne vinens aromaer av cola, skogbunn, kirsebær og solbær er lovende, men på ganen er den en tanninsterk kraftpakke med munnsprengende syrer. Den føles ru og smaker av gummiaktige mørke frukter.

Enkel og skarp i syrlighet, denne Pinot har en syltetøyaktig bringebærsmak. Den smaker sukker-søtt gjennom hele ettersmaken. Den ble smakt to ganger.

Knipne kirsebær- og bæraromaer er slanke og læraktige. Den føles stram og skurende, med eikete, grønne smaker av bær og kirsebær. Den smaker utørket og urteaktig på ettersmaken.

Krittaktig og tynn, denne viser ingen spesiell druetyperkarakter. Den ser ut som om den allerede falmer, og smakene smaker treaktig og tamt. To flasker smakt; samme inntrykk.

To prøver av denne Cabernet ble smakt, og begge er reduserte og lukter som spraymaling. En klyngete tanninrik gane tilbyr kokte svarte fruktaromaer foran en over-eiket finish. Dette mangler flyt og v…
