A structured wine, packed with red fruits and delightful acidity. There is a core of dark tannin and a solid structure as well as the bright freshness at the end. Because it has this structure, it's…

A slight note of pear drop plays on the nose. The palate is juicy and vivid with citrus, green pear and some white pepper. Light on its feet, with an energetic force at its core and lovely concentrat…

Lime zest and guava notes make for a tropical nose. The palate adds greener tints of grass and midpalate texture that combines a creamy core with spiky freshness. The concentrated core results in a r…

Rich blackberry and black-currant flavors give this wine its ripe character. They are already well balanced by the spicy tannins and dry core. The wine will develop well and should be ready from 2019…

This is dry, crisp and nicely detailed, with a persistent, clean and fresh mouthfeel. Notes of cucumber, salad greens and citrus, notably lime and grapefruit, are underscored with appealing mineralit…

A little too soft for ageability, but a very delicious wine. Not quite in the league of the wonderful 2007, but offers rich, ripe flavors of blackberries, cherries, cola and cedar, with all kinds of…

A big Pinot Noir, darkly colored and full-bodied in the mouth. The depth of fruit is impressive, packing a solid core of black cherries and plums. Might gain some bottle notes over the next 4–6 years.

A blend of 40% Syrah, 30% Grenache, 20% Carignan and 10% Mourvèdre aged in French oak for 12 months, this wine exhibits great depth of flavors against a tight structure. Notes of garrigue herbs and p…

Luscious white peach and apricot flavors are anchored by a steely core of mineral in this easy-drinking but elegant wine. Light bodied but persistent, it's a lip-smacking, sweet wine that finishes wi…

A new offering made entirely from estate fruit, this is a selection of the best blocks and barrels of the vintage, with its core component being 90% Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon. The remainder…

In the classic Portuguese tradition, this is a blend of four of the Alentejo's local grapes. Together they give big power and dark tannins. They also offer great black fruits, fresh acidity and a fir…

The high percentage of Touriga Franca in this wine has given it structure as well as red berry fruitiness. It is generous, but supported by a dry core of tannins. Twelve months in wood have smoothed…

The Cambres vineyard sits on the hills just to the south of the Douro river, giving a rich, perfumed style of wood-aged wine. This is structured, with a dry core and big black fruits that will soften…

Still young and nervous, this opens with aromas of resin, pressed rose petal, dark berry and a whiff of coffee. The tightly packed palate offers a ripe black cherry core backed up by notes of sage an…

You'll find aromas of menthol, mature plum, cassis and a hint of cedar on this structured blend of 85% Sangiovese and 15% Merlot. On the ripe, round palate, licorice and graphite accent the core of d…

Ripe plum, blackberry, vanilla and espresso aromas lead the nose. On the palate, notes of coffee, toast, and star anise wrap around a core of mature black cherry. Polished tannins and fresh acidity p…

A good, dry, fleshy wine. Not showing well now in its youth, because it's tannic and unintegrated, with flavors flying all over the place. But there's a solid core of blackberry and black cherry sour…

Like the Petit Castel, this wine needs some time to truly open up and express itself, so be sure to give it time to breathe before serving. Medium weight but full in the mouth with firm tannins and a…

Bright red-skinned berry, new leather, herb and dark spice aromas waft out of the glass. It's medium-bodied on the palate, with star anise and tobacco notes adding depth to the fresh cherry core. Tau…

For a Lalande de Pomerol this wine has a high proportion (30%) of Cabernet Franc, giving a structure that shapes the ripe Merlot. It's juicy with black plums and has a core of dry tannins. Drink from…

A full, fleshy, lushly fruited Pinot Noir, streaked with espresso and caramel from barrel aging. The fruit and overall structure are up to the challenge of the wood; lots of black cherry and even hin…

Sandeman's single quinta vintage is based around Quinta do Vau. Made in a deliberately fruity style, it is full of blackberry fruit jam flavors, with fleshy plums. The tannins are low-key, just showi…

89-91 Tought initially, although the weight of fruit is all there. The dry core spreads outwards, giving a rich, textured feel. Very firm aftertaste.

Modige innslag av krydder, vanilje, ristet brød og røyk omslutter denne Cabernet Franc, men under det hele finnes en gjennomtrengende kjerne av bær- og kirsebærsmaker som gir gjenklang. Det er en hed…
