2/6/2024 - kostaslonis wrote: NRNew Zealand London Annual Trade Tasting (Lindley Hall, Royal Horticultural Halls): Grapes were sourced from three Akarua Estate vineyards. The Bannockburn vines are approximately 25 years old and grow at 270 metres above sea level on a north west facing sloping glacial terrace. The vines are planted on alluvial, sandy loam-based soils overlaying schist bedrock. The Pisa vines are planted on a flat and level river terrace created by glacial activity, at an elevation of 205 metres above sea level. Soils here are fine silt loam over schist based alluvial gravels and the vines, aged 28 years. The younger 25 Steps vines, with an average age of 19 years, lie at 200-317 metres above sea level on sandy and stony topsoil with a subsoil mix of deep gravels and clay loams. |

11/24/2023 - Rbawks wrote: NRA mellow and intense wine, it has aromas of cooked forest fruits and vanilla. It is soft and smooth with medium to full body and a grainy texture. Flavours of ginger complement mellow fruits with some grip on the finish. Loess Inspiration is made with the same care and attention as Jaime’s premium wines – and benefits from those components that don’t quite make the cut for the top wines |

9/16/2023 - honest bob wrote: 86 pointsLoire valley (and a little Champagne); 9/14/2023-9/22/2023: From 75cl in a restaurant, P+P. The first bottle was so corked our sommelier gasped loudly, the second was OK. Raspberry and light oak scent; decent dark raspberry fruit and a velvety texture on the entry; mid-palate attenuated, acidic and plain dilute; bad-tempered, dry finish. OK with steak-frites but not one to buy if there’s a choice. 86-87P |

11/20/2022 - ChateauShiny Likes this wine: 88 pointsScrewcap. Decanted about 15 minutes before tasting. Nose of earth, black tea, burnt toast, wet leaves, and fading plums. Light bodied and still a lively palate. Plums, black cherries, twigs, and a dash of sweet baking spices. A slight bit of grippy tannins are still present. To start, a spiced sour black cherry, cola, and tea finish. Then pivots to earth, iron, graphite, and tar. |

10/30/2022 - Julian Marshall Likes this wine: 88 pointsBright nose of dark raspberry, blackcurrant and herbs, then quite a rich attack of blueberry and blackberry, before a cooler streak of blackcurrant which gives it a much-needed elegance on the finish. At first I wasn't impressed, but the silky fruit grew on me and in the end I rather enjoyed it. Not exactly über-rich, this is more like a polished version of a classic style, which reminded me of Villeneuve. At 11 euros, good value. |
