Vinanmeldelser

Dette er en dristig tørr vin fra en av Bonterras biodynamisk dyrkede vinmarker, og den har rikelig med tannin i teksturen samt en overflod av modne svarte kirsebær, tresrøk og krydder fra baking som…

Modne tropiske frukter står i sentrum i denne overdådige, kraftige vinen. Syren er til stede, akkurat nok til å gi denne rike vinen den støtten den trenger. Det er en komplett vin—moden og krydret, b…

Dette er en Bordeaux-inspirert blanding med tre druesorter hvor tre femdeler er Cabernet Sauvignon, og en femdel hver er Merlot og Petit Verdot. Den har en enorm smaksappell med en rik blanding av rø…

Melis er et prosjekt støttet av vinfolk fra California, men denne blandingen av gamle vinstokker Grenache sammen med Carignan, Syrah og Cabernet Sauvignon er veldig europeisk. Den er kraftig, men vel…

Vinen handler om frukt og balanserte tanniner. Den er saftig, så drikkbar nå, selv om den har nok struktur til å love god modning. Duftende solbærfrukt vises sterkt. Vinen viser hvordan dette slottet…

Here's a big, juicy, imposingly rich Syrah that's so stuffed with primary fruit character, it needs time in the cellar to come around. Tasted in January, it's enormous in sweet, jammy blackberries, m…

Intricate baking spice aromas and buttery apple-tart flavors meet a delicate yet expansive mouthfeel in this light-bodied, irresistible and off-dry wine. The spicy elements weave in and out of the si…

A relative bargain amid top-quality McLaren Vale Shiraz, the 2005 Top of the Hill Shiraz is beginning to show some softening and signs of maturity, yet remains intensely perfumed and flavored. Coffee…

Marked by aggressive acidity and some dusty tannins, this Pinot is not showing well now. It's just too hard and tart. But the flavors are enormously ripe, and the finish is dry and silky and long. It…

Wild roses and forest undergrowth wrap their persistent tendrils around ripe cherries and just a hint of toast on the nose of this complex and seductive offering. Finishes with enough structure to su…

This vintage of Deliella represents an enormous jump forward in quality and intensity. Nero d'Avola vines grow in chalky soils, create extremely elegant aromas of dark fruit, chocolate, cured meat, t…

This dazzling, dry and restrained wine was matured in new French oak but with such a light touch that it feels more lean than fat in texture. It has enough fruitiness—crisp apple and lemon flavors—an…

This Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot dominated wine is dense with tannins, although with enough fruit richness to balance. It has a dark texture and shows plenty of wood flavors at this stage. Its weight w…

Spice and wood aromas show on this still-structured wine. It has fresh acidity, red berries and tight tannins that are still developing. The wine is light and fruity while also having enough structur…

A big, rich chocolaty wine with delicious spice and ripe tannins. The fruit is sumptuously rich, blackberry juice flavors balancing the power and concentration of the texture. In all this richness, t…

Brunello Madonna Nera is a new product (this wine represents consulting enologist Carlo Ferrini's first stab at this particular project) with plush fruit and tobacco backed by brimstone, crushed gran…

Camigliano's Brunellos are always distinctive thanks to the estate's positioning on the lower slopes of the Montalcino denomination in a location prized for grape-growing since ancient times. The bea…

Rich, ripe and dramatically layered with black currant, licorice and oak flavors that turn a little raisiny on the finish. Although it's very dry, there's ripeness in the fruit. Flashy enough to drin…

Enormously rich, showing cola, black cherry pie filling and even some dark chocolate notes. There's a soft sweetness of fruit and oak that suggests drinking this lovely wine now. You can't go wrong w…

The largely unexplored Faro denomination in the northern point of Sicily is producing some of the island's best work. The promising Nocera grape variety is used here and vintner Salvatore Geraci is o…

Sun-ripened bramble and dried herbs lend a savory rusticity to this spry yet decadently ripened Cabernet Franc. It's not a brawny wine, but powerful in impact, full of black fruit flavors and jolted…

Det fremste eksempelet på Tardieus vinmakingstil er denne 2009 Rasteau. Den har enorme mengder herlig eik—ristet kokos, sedertre, vanilje—med akkurat nok bringebærfrukt til å støtte opp under det. De…

Fete frukter dominerer denne modne vinen. Som en eiendom under ledelse av Hubert de Boüard fra Château Angélus, har den gjort enorme fremskritt. Store tanniner er innhyllet i den modne frukten for å…

Lukten av våt jord blandes med duften av moden fersken. Smaken er rund med ferskensøthet, som balanseres av en behagelig, lett bitter fenolisk tekstur som fremhever den rike frukten enda mer. Med vak…
