Comments = A Cru Classé de Provence rosé wine at an interesting price offering an interesting overall level of quality. Delicate and refreshing aromas with a slightly vegetal finish. A wine for all summer occasions and for sunny meals with friends.
Final Grade = B-
Comments = Here is a rosé that has everything of a gastronomic wine: finesse, delicacy, aromatic nuances, precision and a very good aroma-acidity balance. All with a deep and quite long finish on the fruit with delicate touches of spices and thyme. A very beautiful wine which is likely to change many preconceived ideas about rosé wines.
Final Grade = A-
Comments = Concentration, precision and finesse are the key words for this wine. The tannins are silky and blend perfectly into the fruit aromas (black plum). The finish is complex and persistent with well-integrated oak nuances (cloves, vanilla), all enhanced by spicy notes. A very fine wine from one of the oldest and most prestigious vineyards in South Africa. This is probably one of the finest Pinotages I have tasted.
Final Grade = A
Comments = This wine offers a quality-price ratio that is just incredible. Found this level of quality for less than 25 euros is something quite exceptional. You should not hesitate to let yourself be tempted by this wine. At this price, it is also a very good opportunity to discover a very fine example of Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand. A beautiful opulence on the nose, a beautiful roundness in the mouth. This wine is full of freshness with a good level of aromatic complexity around mango and ginger. A very good aroma-acidity balance. A nice long finish.
Final Grade = A-
Comments = I really like the price-quality ratio offered by this wine. A bright acidity, a complex palate and a long finish. A prime example of what a very very good Pinot Noir from New-Zealand can be. All this at a very affordable price given its great quality. I really advice you to try it (especially if you never had any New Zealand’s Pinot Noir in the past).
Final Grade = A-
Comments = Complex and nuanced fruits characteristic of the Pinot Noir grape (forest fruits, currant, cassis…) with a bright acidity and a good tension of the palate reflecting its unique terroir. This wine offers a beautiful elegance and a racy finish.
Final Grade = A
Comments = Complex and intense aromas dominated by a bouquet of red fruits, with hints of truffle and mineral notes. It has excellent, well-defined mouthfeel and firm, powerful but high-quality tannins. The finish is extremely long, elegant and deep with notes of red fruits, liquorice, tobacco and a hint of menthol. This wine just needs to be aged for at least one (preferably two) decades in the right conditions to be able to express its full potential.
Final Grade = A+
Comments = A true legend! Totally lives up to its reputation! This wine still displays a vibrant acidity (despite being from 2011) together with a powerful tannic structure. However, its balance aromas-acidity-tannins is exceptional and its finish is long, persistant and complex centered around aromas of dark fruits, tobacco and hints of cedar. This wine is very rare because it has only been produced in 20 exceptional vintages since 1952 (and in limited quantity each time). Therefore, if you have a chance to get your hand on one bottle, you will be among the lucky few who can enjoy this true portuguese treasure.
Final Grade = A++
Comments = Stunning! I was impressed with the level of freshness and precise acidity this wine can display given its tannic structure and great aromatic intensity. Its aroma-acidity and aroma-tannin balance is just perfect. On the palate it is powerful, complex and deploys many varied nuances of fruit with floral notes and delicate aromas derived from vanilla. The finish is incredibly long and persistent with a very subtle mineral touch. This wine has great aging potential and I strongly recommend letting it age for at least 15 or 20 years before opening it in order to appreciate the true potential of this masterpiece.
Final Grade = A++
