Vinanmeldelser

Dry, firm and tough, this wine lacks the fruit fruit to come through the structure. It's a wine for those who like plenty of wood.

Prune, grilled herb and a whiff of salted-game aromas carry over to the light-bodied palate along with dried black cherry and a hint of clove. It's über-simple, with loose fleeting tannins.

This is a lean wine with considerable structure and acidity but perhaps not enough fruit. There is a green edge to the fruit although the tannins are ripe enough. It is ready to drink now.

Bread-like, yeasty aromas adorn a simple thickness of smoky char, dark cherry and bold concentration in this wine, which seems heartier than the varietal tends to be.

This wine has a smoky char quality and a decadent richness of cured meat and bacon grease. Light, it's dusted modestly in spice, with an herbaceous tease of tannin on the finish.

Firm tannins and overripe fruit dominate this wine. It will not develop well, with those tannins remaining tough.

Heavily wood aged, this wine is tough and dry, with aggressive toast flavors. The concentration is there but is not from fruit.

Overripe, jammy fruit aromas and flavors spoil this wine. It's oddly balanced: soft on the one hand and tough on the other.

Smoky aromas from wood aging show again strongly in the tough wooden plank notes that dominate this wine. It's a shame, because the fruit is there.

Strong spicy meaty aromas and equally assertive oak and char flavors threaten to overwhelm the fruity aspects of this dry wine but it has enough concentration to match the firm tannins. Best after 20…

This wine is an oak bomb, from the wood smoke and charcoal aromas to the heavily roasted toasted flavors and woody tannins that make for a drying finish.

Light earthy raspberry and strawberry aromas suggest leanness, which is backed up on a raw, citric, pinching palate. Flavors of herbal plum and orange peel are austere, while this goes nowhere new on…

A basic, light, veggie-flavored wine, this smells like celery and onion and tastes like zucchini.

For an Aligoté, this is a soft wine without that crisp acidity. It is smooth, lightly tangy and with an easy spicy character. It is ready to drink, fruity and bright.

This is a typical sweet rosé from Anjou. A light and fruity blend of Groslot and Gamay, it is sugary but has attractive acidity to balance the sweet wild-strawberry flavors. Drink now.

Rusty to the eye, with a strange but not unpleasant mix of savory tomato, citrus and nutmeg aromas, this feels raw, tannic and drying. Earthy, baked and rooty plum flavors dry out on the finish.

Flat to start, with oaky aromas of mustard and clove, this feels round, with citric acidity and a sense of wood grain to the palate. Barrel-driven flavors of salty melon and mustard end with grainy r…

Not sure if this is a sparkling wine, a dessert wine or something in between. Grassy aromas of apple juice are jumbled and slightly pickled. This stays unfocused on a fizzy palate, while sweet soda-l…

Grapy aromas suggest minerals and iodine along with wet animal fur and plum. It's firm and tannic on the palate, with herbal, rooty plum and berry flavors and a tight finish.

Cleanliness is a fleeting quality on this rosé, which smells compromised and artificial. A modest palate feel and dry, hollow, mostly fruitless flavors lead to a bland finish.

This young, citrus flavored wine is crisp and still with its yeasty and fruity flavors. The wine is fresh and ready to drink.

This is a light wine that has crisp, perfumed red fruits and layers of acidity. It is juicy and spicy and finishes with good acidity and a mineral texture. Drink now.

This is a wine that has tannins as well as crisp red-currant fruit. It is lightly textured with a bright shot of acidity. The aftertaste is fresh and lively.

This light-weight, easygoing wine offers subtle notes of red cherry, plum and currant on the nose and mouth. A hint of fresh mint adds a touch of interest to the nose. Drink now.
