7/19/2015 - Kveldulv wrote: 84 pointsSmall to medium bubbles. Light yellow with a green tinge. Fresh aroma of green apples - and kiwis ☺ with a hint of dry crackers. One taster noted "washing room" or "clean, freshly washed towels". On the palate green apples, sweet peppers and some grapefruit bitterness in the finish. All in all a straightforward, ok wine, but nothing out of the ordinary. |

7/15/2015 - Kveldulv wrote: 86 pointsDark red with garnet edges. A whiff of mint over some dark cellary notes. Blackberries and blueberries on the palate. Mellow, ripe tannins. A bit short. Obviously some years past its prime, but still not bad at all! |

2002 Familia Mayol IVMendoza Malbec Blend, Malbec more |
7/1/2015 - Kveldulv Likes this wine: 89 pointsDark garnet colour with a hint of blue. Unfiltered. Alcohol on the nose, with a grassy herbal note. Dark berries and beetroot. Very full bodied and poweful on the palate, almost reminding of an Amarone. Bitter cherries, dark berries, pleasant mellow tannins, balanced acidity. This wine carries its years with grace. There may have been some loss in the floral and fruity qualities, but all in all this is an excellent mature wine. |

10/28/2014 - Kveldulv Likes this wine: 90 pointsThere is not much in the world of fortified white wines that matches the pleasant elegance of a Targa Marsala Riserva. Light amber colour, gentle notes of dried fruit on the nose, sweetness well balanced with a slight tingle of mild acidity and alcohol. Long, soft aftertaste. |

NV Jacquesson & Fils Champagne Cuvée No. 736Champagne Blend more |
5/12/2013 - Kveldulv wrote: 89 pointsOn opening the bottle we were met with an inviting aroma of yellow apples and cinnamon buns. Nice light yellow colour, medium to small bubbles. On the palate it was more like green apples, very dry and with a long, dry acidic, tannic finish. An excellent, classical dry, dry Champagne, perhaps just a bit too low on dosage for our taste. |

10/15/2012 - Kveldulv wrote: 94 pointsDeep bluish red to dark burgundy. Wonderfully fresh and almost pungent aroma of rhubarb, pine wood, fresh earth, with a pleasant note of raspberries that became more dominant after some time. On the palate thick, mellow, with notes of blueberries, strawberries and cherry jam. Not very dry. Moderate on tannines, low on tartaric acid. |

10/15/2012 - Kveldulv wrote: 83 pointsBluish dark red colour with garnet edge. Weak aroma with slight notes of blackberry and cranberry. Unfiltered. Needs some days upright before decantation. Pleasant mild taste, a hint of mild pepper fruit. Very moderately tannic, low on tartaric acid. A pleasant table wine, but nothing more. Perhaps four years is too much for a wine with so little tannic acid. |

9/6/2012 - Kveldulv wrote: 90 pointsColour: My wife and I noticed a promising flowery whiff when we opened this bottle, which was no longer there when we put the glasses to our noses. In the glass we noted the very slightest boquet of chocolate, prunes and black currants. The colour was garnet with a brownish tinge. On the palate, however, we found the wine to be incredibly pleasant and full bodied, with perfectly matured tannins and an excellent balance. There was a long taste of dark red berries and chocolate, and hints of leather and tobacco in the aftertaste. |
