Markant ristet og brent på nesen, tilbyr denne aromaer av sjokolade og hickory. Den føles jevn, fyldig, lagdelt og ikke i det hele tatt enkel, med bakte svartfrukt-smaker som ligger over saftige barb…

Vinmaker: Louis Nel. Denne Cab-Shiraz-blandingen er noe lukket for øyeblikket, med dempede mørke fruktaromaer som antyder bjørnebær, bjørnebær og plomme. Fyllig munnfølelse, gripende tanniner skaper…

Vinemaker: Adi Badenhorst. Det er en tydelig jordnær, vill duft i denne vinen, som kommer frem i aromaer av skogsbær, spekemat, trebark og fuktige blader. Den støttes av en kjerne av modne ville jord…

Here's an inky, densely concentrated blend of Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet with intense aromas of chocolate, coffee, ripe berry, plum and spice. The wine is rich, well textured and offers enormous…

Lots of charm now for the roasted coffeebean, red cherry, pain grillé and sandalwood aromas and flavors that are wrapped into finely ground tannins. Shows real class and elegance despite its mountain…

Deep and refined, this beautifully integrated Syrah opens with scents of briar, berry, and cherry. Details of light pepper, iron and earth are buoyed by vivid acids. Complex, aromatic and graceful.

A full-bodied wave of savory spice and rich fruit. Aromas of tobacco, mint, cassis and mocha lead, followed by smooth, luscious flavors of plum, smoke, and tobacco. Ageable but delicious now, the win…

Here's a lively Tuscan Merlot with soft layers of spice and cola lavished over a solid core of black fruit. The aromas are pristine and focused and the wine makes an equally excellent impression in t…

Here's a beautifully fragrant Vino Nobile di Montepulciano with well-integrated oak aromas of spice and cigar box followed by blackberry and chocolate. This is a proud, modern wine with loads of inte…

Lots of new oak on this young Merlot, and the wood dominates, sending out waves of toast, clove and vanilla-buttered toast aromas. Oak tannins join the grapeskin tannins in making the mouthfeel hard…

Thick, raisiny berry aromas come with notes of licorice, mineral and black peppercorn. Feels tight and juicy, with zesty red fruit flavors, sweet black fruit flavors and shadings of schisty mineralit…

This gorgeous wine opens with savory aromas of mature fruit and cured meat or bresaola. The wine shows a firm tannic structure (that will soften in time) with loads of fresh berry intensity. Very nic…

Villa Donoratico, a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%), Cabernet Franc and Merlot, opens with bold, ripe cherry aromas followed by spice, leather, tobacco and smooth chocolate. The wine also earns poi…

Orange peel aromas emerge on this delectable fortified Moscatel. Aging in barrel for at least three years has given it roundness and some old toast character that adds to the dried raisin and apricot…

Bellezza is now labeled Chianti Classico (through 2007 it was labeled only as Toscana), based on Sangiovese grapes that deliver aromas of cherry, toasted almond, chocolate, rum cake and exotic spice.…

A fine Cava with easygoing white fruit aromas and a cushioned, full and round palate. Tastes rich and honeyed, with toasty, nutty, dry apple and pear flavors. Elegant and complex, with texture and st…

Punchy and pure on the bouquet, this has nicely presented blackberry and cassis aromas that are offset by a whiff of dried cheese and leather. It feels snappy, fresh and firm, with toasty, mildly-spi…

This reticent wine takes a bit of airing to come around, but once it does it shows impressive depth of melon fruit accented by crushed stone. It's medium to full in body, with a slightly oily texture…

Aromas of kirsch, licorice, mineral and blackberry are strapping as they lead onto a balanced, flowing palate with flavors of black fruit, spice and chocolate. Easygoing as a whole, with a smooth fad…
