Vinanmeldelser

Blandet med 12 % Cabernet Sauvignon, denne Merloten har blomsteraktig aroma, men mangler frukt på ganen. En bitter urteaktig karakter utvikler seg mot avslutningen.

Denne lett oksiderte Chardonnay er pulveraktig, men ikke helt frisk, da den viser aromaer av bassengvann og melaktig melon. Smaken er fyldig og middelmådig i tekstur, mens kjøttfulle smaker av melon…

Dette er en strukturert vin, med for mye tanniner fra tre og frukt. De røde bærfruktene vil sannsynligvis alltid holde seg bak strukturen.

Aggressiv i starten, denne Garnacha lukter kornete og grov. Tydelig fatlager gir en kremete munnfølelse, mens urtete og grønne bærsmaker avsluttes bittert.

Bevarte plomme- og kirsebærnoter er krydret med mørk sjokolade på denne modne, lettdrikkelige, halvtørre Dornfelder. Til tross for all rikdommen, mangler den litt konsentrasjon på ganen.

On the nose, this is fully oaked, charred, spicy and familiar. In the mouth, however, it takes a dive; brutal, scouring acidity and killer tannins create a rugged, lemony mouthfeel. Flavors of toasty…

Rustic, rubbery, leathery aromas are highly suggestive of animal hide and stalky berry fruits. This is hard as rocks on the palate, with an astringent mouthfeel. Briny, leathery berry and plum flavor…

Stewy, muddled, herbal aromas come prior to a chunky, chewy palate. Flavors of compost, nutty berry fruits and turned earth lack freshness, while a stewed finish tastes mulchy and feels tannic.

A heavily oaked nose smells of pencil shavings and creamy berry scents. This feels raw, choppy and highly tannic, while red-fruit flavors are buried by an oak-based covering of milk chocolate. Heavy…

Initially this smells perfumed and powdery, like a grande dame preparing to go out for the night. On deeper inspection, it smells grassy and citrusy, then tastes and feels dilute. At best this is a q…

Aromas of juniper and green herbs are raw and austere. This cool-climate Cab Franc is severe in feel, with tart currant, oak and green flavors. Hard tannins, spice notes and herbaceous red-fruit flav…

Dusty peppercorn and a green note of cedar define this simple, somewhat diluted effort that's light bodied and lacking in complexity.

This is a hard-edged wine with a chemical character. It's tough both in tannins and extracted fruits.

The fruit is extremely extracted, making for a wine that is tough, very firm and hard without the juicy character needed to see it through.

Bread and yeasty aromas lead to a wine that has tannins and wood aging, leaving the fruitiness behind.

Strong wood flavors have smothered the fruit, leaving vanilla, spice and milk chocolate as the main flavors. Gérard Laurent blends 65% Cabernet Franc and 35% Malbec from biodynamic and organic vineya…

This Salta Cabernet is closed on the nose, green and smelling like cigar ash. Hard, green tannins and astringency create a tough environment for stewy flavors.

Herbal aromas give a crisp character. The fruit is not entirely ripe, so the wine relies on its tannins and acidity to get balance.

The wine is extracted and hard. It has a tough character along with some bitterness.

A light and fruity wine that is ready to drink. From the heart of the Entre-deux-Mers region, it has red berry fruits and juicy acidity. A greener, herbal character in the background suggests grapes…

This is hard and tough, all tannins and extraction.

This tough wine seems light on fruit. It is hard and shows considerable extraction.

Leathery, rubbery aromas are pinched, stalky and unripe. This Patagonian blend is drawing and astringent, with bland, cool-climate red-berry flavors that have an herbal streak. Saucy, tannic and heav…

This is a thin wine with way too much acidity for the fruit. The rest of the wine is dry tannin that could soften into a more juicy character. It's always going to be a light wine.
