92-94 Hugely aromatic, a wine that manages to combine freshness, lightness and density. It is deliciously fresh, then offering a fine, ripe dried fruit aftertaste.

92-94 Spice and mint aromas with blackberry fruit, new wood and a polished character. The acidity is delicious, refreshing.

92-94 Sweetly juicy wine, the new wood giving high toast to the black currant flavors. It is on the elegant side, although the new wood needs to be tamed to let the fruit come through.

Made from a slightly smaller percentage (81%) of estate fruit, with the intention of being approachable earlier, this wine has 19% blended in from Oakville Ranch, Knightsbridge and Young Inglewood, i…

Just released, this latest non-vintage from Jacquesson is very steely, austere, cool and elegant with apple and citrus acidity. It has freshness and balance. Still young, but very complete.

Pure sweetness, the wine has a rich texture with just a hint of botrytis but plenty of opulent spice, very rounded and unctuous. It is just beginning to show maturity, but could easily age further, t…

Richly textured wine, full of ripe and spicy fruit, the acidity just a hint behind the dried honey and watermelon flavors. It is full-bodied, ripe, packed with intense fruit flavors. A wine for aging…

Despite the age, the color of this wine is still impressively vibrant and the ripe fruit and dense structure both speak of a wine that is still developing even nine years later. Such is longevity of…

Named after the Roman emperor who allowed planting of vines in Cahors (and elsewhere in France), this wine is a fine expression of rich, concentrated Malbec. It is powered by its tannins and young bl…

Made from Chardonnay from the Côte des Blancs, this intensely crisp and fresh wine is maturing well, although it's nowhere near ready to drink. It is a fine wine: tight, steely, mineral in character…

This is a rich, ripe Condrieu that manages to avoid seeming excessively weighty or oily. The suggestion of grilled apricot and pineapple slices is balanced by mouthwatering acidity and a slightly pep…

Textbook Jamet, with flamboyant swirls of cracked pepper, grilled meat, plum, berry, black olive and espresso finishing long and silky. It's not the biggest or baddest Côte Rôtie, but it remains a be…

Santa Duc's small parcel of Châteauneuf-du-Pape is planted to a mix of 95% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre. It's a peppery, briary wine that's savory and spicy, with blackberry fruit providing support rath…

This is the best Enemigo Cabernet Franc to date. It's pure, heady, powerful juice with integrated smoky oak and spice aromas. Pure in the mouth, this is dense and full of quality. Blackberry and choc…

A great wine, much more than only a Champagne, this is impressively rich and ripe, with crisp yellow fruits, spices and layers of toast. It's in an opulent style that is round but also very focused o…

This is great Champagne, in the bottle-aged Henriot style. It's a classic Chardonnay, ripe, creamy, packed with yellow fruits, and finely balanced with a great waft of toast. A high percentage of old…

The discrete Henriot labeling is echoed in this elegant wine. Like so many Henriot Champagnes it has good bottle age, shows toast as well as light red fruits. There is a depth of flavor here, the tex…

The softness of the 2000 vintage is reflected in this delicious, gentle, ripe wine. It is full of soft red fruits, lifted easily by the fresh red currant acidity and cranberry texture. It is showing…

Silex is a flint and sand soil that suits Sauvignon Blanc well. This wine, with tight, nervy texture and crisp lemon character, is still fresh, full of primary citrus and gooseberry flavors. It needs…

The near-vertical slope of the Monts Damnés produces wines that have great elegance, style and impressive richness. This 2011 is still young, needing another year to start to bring out all the comple…

Formet som en sommerfugl (papillon), er denne vinmarken en av de mest kjente i Savennières. Den er veldig rik og moden, fra en varm årgang. Med sine aprikos- og pæresmaker og sin rike tekstur, fremhe…

En modnet og fyldig vin, med flotte nøtte- og kjeksaromaer sammen med rike gule frukter. En imponerende konsentrert vin, det er en vin som kan lagres, men er klar til å drikkes nå. Skrukapsel.

Stor, fruktig, moden vin som viser en petroleumskarakter samt en rund tekstur og et hint av mineralitet. Vinen er både seig og generøs, fullpakket med fruktskall og frisk syre. Den er klar til å drik…

Dempet, modnere frukt har ennå ikke kommet til overflaten. Assosiasjoner til Bramley-eple vekkes i duften; på ganen viser de seg som den rundere smaken av bakt Bramley. Over alt svever revet sitronsk…
