Vinanmeldelser

Milde aromaer av tjære, bakekrydder og brent kjøtt leder til en tanninrik, kraftfull gane. Den avsluttes med et godt grep, noe som ser ut til å dempe noen av smakene.

Denne vinen åpner med aromaer av brent dekkgummi og asfalt. Ganen tilbyr bitre smaker av grillet salvie, eikeekstrakt og ristede kaffebønner sammen med tungetørkende tre-tanniner.

For mye lagring på eikefat har skjult potensialet til de saftige, svarte fruktene i denne uvanlige 100% Petit Verdot-vinen. Den har tyngde, men eikesmaken blir overveldende.

Store tanniner dominerer denne tørre, børstede uttrykket av Cabernet Sauvignon med 5 % Merlot som er streng i frukten.

Denne blandingen av 54% Grenache, 34% Syrah, 9% Mourvèdre og 3% Cinsault har noen tette bærtoner, men domineres av noter av lær og nellik. Den viser god tyngde og konsentrasjon på ganen, men er litt…

An upfront, strawberry-flavored wine, this is ripe and immediately fruity. There are enough tannins to hold the palate together, but it is ready to drink now.

Fully mature, this light- to medium-bodied wine shows an evolved color, modest cherry fruit and prominent notes of rusty iron and dusty earth. Drink now.

A smooth, fruity wine, with fine red-cherry flavors and very soft tannins. It is spoiled by a banana flavor that intrudes into the fresh fruit.

Smells and tastes thin and stemmy, with watered down cherry and cola flavors. On the plus side, it's dry and silky.

Simple aromas of lemon and lychee are just fresh enough, while the palate offers good feel and pithy, somewhat bland flavors of the same fruits that appear on the bouquet. The finish is lemony, and o…

The luminous sparkler offers sweet aromas of peach, honey and jasmine. Pair this this bubbly treat with oatmeal cookies or sponge cake.

Balanced wine, the tight tannins fitting well into the black currant fruits, the texture coming from plum skins, damsons and some fresh, bright acidity.

Starts out with mildly herbal, salad-dressing aromas, but the palate is fairly full and creamy, with soft tomato, spice and generic berry flavors. Fresh due to adequate acidity, but tastes a little h…

Pineapple, sulfur and matchstick, and finally some woody toast steer the bouquet. The palate is big and blowsy, with toasty baked apple and pineapple flavors. Finishes sweet, with honey and a sprinkl…

Earthy smelling, with black-fruit aromas that sit heavy in the glass. The palate pushes black cherry flavors and outsized acidity, and it only gets sharper on the back palate and finish. Flavorful an…

The banana aromas are off-putting in this light, juicy wine. Although there are tannins, they are not enough to make sense of the simple, jammy fruit.

Opens with sharpness along with red-fruit notes and a hint of vinegar. The palate holds onto that acid-driven feel, and there's saucy, herbal berry and cherry flavors. Finishes on the shallow side, w…

Sweet and baked smelling, with foxy core aromas that suggest wet dog fur. The palate is loud and wild, with foxy, unsettled flavors of wild berry and cherry. Runs low on layering, structure and body,…

Aromas of red fruits, olive and hard spice lead to a sheer palate with juiciness galore along with red raspberry, cranberry and spice flavors. Very zesty but not harsh. Must have food to handle the a…

Basic raspberry and plum aromas and flavors are accented by herbal, foresty notes. The palate is grabby, tannic and chunky, with herbal accents to the berry fruit flavors. Finishes with milk chocolat…

One of the last ‘98s to be released, and still dark in color. The tannins are hefty, although they're of the soft, pliant kind, and acidity is low. Oak overshadows the fruit. Not offering much now, a…

You get decent value and plenty of intensity in this 90-10 Sangiovese-Cab blend. The wine offers bright tones of fruit and toasted nut, while the mouthfeel is simple and a bit thorny.

Ruddy peach and melon aromas take on a slight dusting of mineral on the nose. The palate is rich, heavy and round in feel, with buttery lemon and melon flavors. Lactic notes carry to the slightly hot…

Mostly neutral in style, but clean and properly made. The nose offers a shot of nectarine, while the pointed palate features pink grapefruit and other citrus flavors. Finishes citrusy then mildly bit…
