Vinanmeldelser

There's great personality here thanks to the wine's bright fruit flavors, vibrant color and penetrating balsam notes that add depth and dimension. Bright cherry, blueberry, vanilla, sweet almond and…

Estrecho means narrow in Spanish, and this varietal Monastrell is just that. After a compact, pure nose sets the stage, this feels sharp and puckery, with cheek-scouring acidity. The result is tart,…

It is unusual to find a 100% Tinta Cão because (in regional slang) this vine is a dog to manage due to its wild vigorous nature. The wine with its tight tannins and layers of mint from the wood aging…

This wine is complex and deep in flavors, traditional in style and simply gorgeous to sip and savor. It's dry in style, good and tannic in texture, lightly spiced with cedar and cinnamon and grounded…

This is not necessarily a classic Grenache, but there is no denying its bold but sophisticated personality. Pomegranate and blackberry aromas are tinged with earthiness, and the flavors are rich in f…

Layers of luscious mango, tangerine and pineapple mark this gloriously fruity, forward Riesling. It's unabashedly plump, but delicate sweetness and staccato strikes of lemon and lime lend balance. It…

From the granite soil of the northern area of Vinho Verde, this rich, structured and dense bottling is far from the conventional view of Vinho Verde. It is a powerful, ripe, apricot and peach flavore…

Made entirely from Sangiovese, this traditionally crafted Chianti Classico opens with earthy aromas of underbrush, leather, black fruit and blue flower. The palate offers succulent black cherry accen…

Very fresh and vivacious, this light-bodied wine is refreshing. It smells like lemon, grapefruit and kiwi, tastes bright and tangy like lemonade, but is quite dry. The texture is crisp and vital, and…

Cherry and plum aromas are ripe, sweet and inviting. There's plenty of body and roundness to this Bonarda, while exotic blueberry and boysenberry flavors finish fresh, with a light herbal aftertaste.…

Refreshing and delicious, this blend of Sardinian grapes—40% Monica, 30% Cannonau and 30% Carignano—opens with aromas of rose, wild berry and a whiff of Mediterranean scrub. The vibrant palate offers…

Donatella Cinelli Colombini regularly brings us very soft, rich and velvety expressions of Brunello. This vintage, however, is more austere, reserved and seems to need more time to open and breathe i…

. There's a compact, traditional characteristic here that gives this wine smooth, sophisticated appeal. Aromas include white cherry, dried raspberry, tar, licorice and root beer. Twenty percent Malva…

The squat Port-like bottle is the first indication that this is no ordinary Sauvignon Blanc. The juice was intentionally oxidized, then barrel fermented and aged on the lees. It's complex winemaking,…

Classic hints of mint mark the black-cherry and cassis aromas of this wine. On the palate, the fruit is reasonably restrained but pure, barely touched by dried spices and cedar, then glides to a silk…

An elegant Rioja made in a more traditional style. The nose is a little baked and raisiny, with additional aromas of caramel and leather. The palate is where this wine shines: the feel is elegant and…

Brilliant and luminous, this tasty Picolit offers pretty golden highlights and aromas of citrus zest, almond, honey and cola. It exhibits a traditional, elegant style and ends with bright, refreshing…

Questionable value at $70, but this is very good and rather unique white Rioja. Remelluri uses a multitude of common and unheard-of grapes, and they hit it with a lot of oak. Still, amid the oily ric…

Dette er en fint strukturert, moden blanding av Touriga Nacional, Trincadeira, Syrah og Alicante Bouschet. Med tanniner som smelter sammen med røde bærsmaker, oppnår den en elegant balanse mellom fru…

Mango og melonblanding med knust vitamin på nesen av denne Viura-Malvasia-Garnacha Blanca-blandingen. Dette føles bredt og ganske fyldig, med moderat syrlighet. Harpikslignende smaker av sagflis skyg…

Denne roséen, som beveger seg inn i den oransje delen av roséfargens regnbue, er basert på Mourvèdre og inneholder 13% Grenache. Den gir duft av melon, guava, pomelo og modnende banan, etterfulgt av…

Emerson Block er en en mål stor kolleksjon av øst-vest vendte rader som debuterte som en egen vin i 2012. Den gir aromaer av fioler og lavendel, med tilleggstoner av hvit pepper, grenadin og lær, alt…

Det er oppfriskende å se en annen importør ta sjansen på Pinot Noir fra Adelaide Hills, en region som pålitelig kan modne druen ved rimelige avlingsnivåer. Dette er en rundere, mer smidig stil av Pin…

Drew pleide å slippe denne flasken omtrent 16 eller 17 måneder etter årgangen. Denne vinen har blitt hastet ut på markedet med litt over ett års alder. Som et resultat viser denne unge vinen de modne…
