2011 Araldica Pinot Grigio d'Aria

Piemonte DOC more

8/15/2012 - RichardSandlan wrote: 88 points

Average Pinot Grigio, very drinkable for when you have non wine appreciating guests over and don't want to open a sneaky decent bottle. Fresh and fruity and good on a warm day.

What can you say, an average Pinot Grigio, very drinkable but nothing special. For 7 quid it's a decent wine to crack open when you have non wine appreciating guests over but still want to enjoy some palletable wine without opening a sneaky separate bottle ;)

Very drinkable, refreshing Pinot Grigio that can be used for many occasions. For me this is a daily drinker and we had it with some pasta and then cracked a second bottle on its own, it just goes down easily without too much fuss and is crisp and fresh.

Fantastic new world Chardonnay, lots of oak in this yet plenty of fruit and I like it. Burgundy like wine that is well structured and for £13.50 is fantastic value.

I like this. Fragrant and delicate Pinot Noir, with a hint of Burgandy in there. Still young so would like to keep a bottle tucked away for a few years and watch it develop. I will be buying more of this.

Not having been a big fan of new world wines I have discovered this gem. Lots of mouth filling oak, plenty of fruit and a long finish make this a fantastic white for the winter weather.

2009 Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis 1er Cru Vaulignot

Chardonnay more

10/20/2012 - RichardSandlan wrote: 86 points

Citrus fruit and pineapple galore on this. Big bite when first opened with lots of acidity I did not like, but then I did something different and decanted. The wine opened up and the acidity went and this turned in to a fabulous fresh and fruity Chablis.

2009 Sylvain Mosnier Petit Chablis

7/15/2012 - RichardSandlan wrote: 88 points

Minerals and citrus on the nose with a bright, fresh and vibrant taste. Medium body but very delicate. A great introduction to the wonderful wines of Chablis. Very enjoyable for the price, glad I have one bottle left but also very much looking forward to knocking it up a notch with a Mosnier Chablis and 1er Cru.

Deep and rich with loads of fruit, quite a bit of alcohol present but it drank well. Initially had after a wonderful journey through some decent French wines and thought this was ready for the sink however just enjoyed the night after and it's a decent bottle of wine.

Like no Spanish wine I have tasted before... very smooth & enjoyable. Only had a glass before jumping in a cab to catch a fight... wish I'd bought a bottle at the price (70 Euros) as this is a lot more expensive to source in the UK :(
Won't post a proper note as only had the 1 quick glass at the end of a long session. But it was good.
