Vinanmeldelser

Røykfull og eiket utover balansepunktet, denne smaker mer av forkullet tre enn frukt. Tanninene er seige og røykfulle. Etter en god pustetid kommer bjørnebærfrukten frem. Lufting anbefales på det ste…

Dette er en vin som er klar til å nytes, med sine modne røde frukter og krydrede tanniner. Den er rund med et lite innslag av struktur sammen med betydelig syre. Vinen er balansert og tiltrekkende i…

Fulle bær-, kakao- og pepperaromaer i nesen åpner opp for solide smaker av svart kirsebær og sjokolade. Munnfølelsen er stor, men det er også ganske høy syre og noen kraftige tanniner med et tydelig…

Aromaene er like mye tre som frukt. Mens ganen også viser mange tre-lagringssmaker, er det også en mer blomsteraktig, rød bær-fruktkarakter som allerede er tiltalende. Syren på slutten gir intens fri…

Nesen på denne gjennomsnittlige SB er tam og nøytral, men ufarlig. En kjøttfull, normal munnfølelse fører til litt tynne smaker av vårløk, sennepsgrønt og eple. Den avsluttes mildt og litt bittert, u…

Denne Cabernet har en ganske tyggegummiliknende, kandisert, gassaktig smak. Den er overveldende moden med kirsebær, rips og mocha, og morsom å drikke, men dyr.

Tart red-berry and savory herb aromas lead the nose of this rosé made from 70% Barbera and 30% Merlot. The palate offers light tannins and red-fruit-skin flavors, ending clean and crisp.

This blend of Syrah and several other Rhône varieties is easy to like for its full-bodied flavors of currants, leather and spices. With its grippy tannins, this will pair well with ribs, burgers and…

Floral and mineral tones emerge from the nose of this white wine from Sicily. Executed in an easy and fresh style, this crisp—and slightly sweet—wine would pair with tuna salad and fried calamari.

This earthy red starts with aromas of cedar, smoke and pepper, followed by flavors of red berries, smoke and minerals. A dry and peppery backbone fishes clean on the tongue. Spunky and fun.

With 80% Petite Sirah and 20% Zinfandel, this is a juicy, lush red with a solid structure, moderate gripping tannins and a long finish. Red plum, cherry and milk chocolate fill the bouquet while swee…

Normally grown in the Dão region, this grape needs poor soil to flourish. On its own, it makes a powerfully fruity wine packed with red fruits and some flavors of dark chocolate. The acidity is inten…

Dusty and neutral on the nose, with a hint of wild flower and mineral to stir interest. The palate is dry despite having some size and plumpness; flavors of apple, peach and papaya are crisp and lean.

Interesting and unique blends get bonus points, but in the long run this conglomeration of indigenous grapes from Mallorca is a touch too resiny and bland to really deserve a call out. But for soft m…

Frankly sweet and almost flabby, with plenty of sugar, petrolly minerality and ripe pear flavors, but this wine lacks the buoyant citrusy zest needed for balance and length.

Not one of the best Cabs from this venerable winery. Despite a cool vintage, there's a burnt edge to the blackberry pie filling flavors. Tasted in late 2007, the tannins are very astringent, and shut…

This is a soft, fruity blend of Roupeiro, Rabo de Ovelha and Fernão Pires. It is ripe, full of apple and crisp green fruits, shot through with acidity. Drink now.

Overall this Tocai is fairly good from start to finish. Apple and matchstick aromas lead to a wide palate. Apple, peach and persimmon flavors show a bit of salt and finish short.

There's a strong mineral component that recalls ash or dusty stone; it is backed by mature notes of peach and melon. It's sweetish and fruity in the mouth but finishes dry.

This high-acid Chardonnay has a prickly mouthfeel. It tastes considerably more tart than almost anything out there, which at least makes it different. Other than that, it offers fairly standard flavo…

This smells taut, lean and crisp, while the mouthfeel is moderately rich, with mild flavors of pear and melon to fill it out. This wine is not a solo star but a good supporting player for lunch, wine…

Dark, mossy, rubbery blackberry aromas are solid. In the mouth, this is punishing, with raw tannins that suggest grapeskins. Dark, chocolaty, savory, spicy flavors of blackberry and black plum finish…

Red currants dominate this textured rosé that has a mineral element along with its fresh fruit and tight acidity. The aftertaste is brilliant with crispness.

Lemon and raspberry flavored wine with crisp acidity and a tight, mineral texture. It has just a hint of tannin and a squeeze of lime at the end. Drink now.
