Rich yellow fruit with a slightly tropical profile to it. Freshly baked bread and a hint of vanilla. Considerable amount of power and a very nice wine, albeit in the richer spectrum. Could wish for a bit more freshness. For me: 89-90 points

Balanced acidity, fresh and lovely minerality. Yellow apples, dried apricot, ripe citrus, honey, butter.

Third bottle from a half case purchased at auction in 2010. Not decanted, opened two hours in advance. Energetic and fresh, dusty extraction, youthful structure with lively acidity and firm but well integrated tannins, still with good, juicy fruit but the aromatic development clearly goes in the direction of forest floor and black tea, dry finish indicates full maturity. Drink soonish - it will most likely dry out eventually.

Médium to light ruby.Very medicinal ( in a good way), earth, some shy ripe dark prunes....actually smells like a not overly ripe chateauneuf du pape...which is fine. The palate is elegant and again away from your classic Rioja reserva. It takes you again to the flavours of southern France . And just the finish more marked by the typical Spanish wood coat brings it back to its real origin. Ready to drink but can still hold some winters.

A bit disappointing considering past efforts with this cineyard from Sineann wines. I had expected more

One great argument as to WHY bother with a wine cellar :-)

Cork only bled through 20%.

Mature, bricking, beautiful transparent colour.
Nose is of a dry day in an autumnal forest - no mushrooms. Has hints of maturity and spicy flowers (not irion of violets nor roses).
In the mouth, the tannins are still open for business. This is an elegant and beautiful creation on its plateau. Long, slim, intense and with a well-balanced and rich palate. Classic! (May very well have been a fatty boy, earlier. But as all wines converge to Barolo...)

Enjoyed a few glasses with pizza and the rest with a 2 hr movie.

I think it can still get even better. If you are stocked, don't feel stressed at all.

Definitely not my style or usual cup of tea (wine). But cheers decided differently (one of the reasons I cancelled my subscription) so I got it. ... and I actually liked it 😊👍

Nice dark bright ruby red color with a lot of purple👍

Full minus body. Medium plus acidity. Well felt tanines. Quite powerful structure.

Lovely aromatic, red & black fruits & spices.

Same on the palate, pomegranate, cherry, raspberries first, then plum, blackberries, pepper, ginger, licorice, all in intensive & very enjoyable way 🍷👏

Bought at Lidl in Mallorca. PnP, 14.5% Alc., natural cork, dark cherry color.

Nose: Dark cherry, a bit diffuse.

Palate: Full bodied, wood or barrique still a little rough, nevertheless all in all gentle, harmonious and good balanced with expressive black and blue berries. Reminds me a lot of the basic Douro red from Vale Dona Maria.

Nice drinking pleasure, very high PQR, 8 Euros.

I am excited with this 2023 Israeli rose even its not the greatest, because there isn't many "good" kosher roses (sad..). So if the rose is drinkable even when its lacking a bit in acidity it a win..

It's a blend of Grenache (85%)
and Counoise (15%) 11%alc NM

It shows nice aromas of Passion fruit, Kiwi, Fresh strawberry, Starfruit, Lychee, Papaya, Grapefruit, Lemon. In the mouth it is dry but fruity with mild acidity(👎) flavors like aroma, finish is medium and tangy.

easy to drink..

I really liked the 2019 Rosso di Montalcino from Casanova di Neri, it was a slightly-lighter Brunello, relative to that this was a bit of a disappointment. Still a delicious wine if less of a "special occasion" wine.
So: popped and poured: Lovely bouquet with cranberry, cherry, violet, and forest floor, medium body, slight bite and bitterness on the finish, alcohol 13.5 covered, medium finish, lots of charm. Definitely a food wine.

Better than I remember from before. Served with smoked pulled pork mole enchiladas 😋. Perfect. Nice nose of dark fruit, oak, vanilla. Medium-full bodied, soft but firm tannins, nice acidity and finish. Plenty of oomph to stand up to this rich and spicy dinner, a perfect complement.

This was my friday night kiddush wine I was afraid I'm not going to be able to enjoy it to the fullest since i was a little under the weather, however it was so amazingly delicious that it took me right up to the higher spirits, A REAL ONEG SHABBAT!!

Red fruit, Sweet cherry, raspberry, fig, cloves, hints of oak, some herbal notes, Red bell pepper, Freash farm grape tomatoes, Black pepper and spices

NM 14.5ABV

Profound aroma, nice silky mouth, fruity with medium acidity, the tannins is smooth but not strong I would say low to medium, with a medium spicy finish!!

Grapes:
Pinot noir, Grenache, Barbera,

Profile:
peach salmon in color, nice aroma, bright fruit forward flavors with refreshing acidity and medium finish.

👃👅:
Papaya, Apricot, Guava, Orange peel, Strawberries, Bitter cucumbers, Peach, Watermelon,

I enjoyed the wine over a span of a few days, and it held up fine, plus the bitterness fade away slowly

Not decanted. 40% Touriga Nacional, 30% Tinta Barroca, 30% Touriga Franca. The wine seems very strong and intense, has a slight heat at the moment, yet I would not have expected it to have 16% (!) alcohol. Still a little young, but the wine is already a lot of fun. 91+ pts. at the moment.

Still a beast. Deep purple and no signs of peaking. Tannin still providing lots of structure with a need for 2-3 hour decant. This has years left. Had it with friends and will be looking to add a few of these as it will continue to get better over the next 2-3 years before a long life at peak.

First of two. Excellent. Slight eucalyptus on the nose with dark fruit. Color was excellent with no bricking on the edges. Still dark and brooding. Smooth with tannins largely integrated. 3.5 hr decant and it needed all of it. Cannot wait to have the second bottle.

Tropical and floral, and not as mineral or herbal as I prefer, but tasty. Sweet but not heavy (M to M- body), acidity moderate / lower energy than I’d like for a Mosel kabi but enough to work with food. Probably ideal for spicy Thai or Vietnamese type dishes.

Bouteille 4/18. J’avais omis de prendre des notes sur les précédentes mais il me semblait que le vin était désormais abordable. Et bien non. On sent surtout l’acidité, les premiers fruits ont disparus. Pas de trace d’évolution. Au fil de la dégustation le vin s’est un peu ouvert mais si peu. A attendre ou à carafer au moins 4 heures.

Gaja Vertical Celebration: PnP for an hour. Very consistent with other notes. This was a little bit of a roller coaster, offering flashes of freshness, silkiness, and bewildering complexity, with notes of ripe strawberry and hints of dusty rose. At times, it tightened up with firm tannins. However, this has all the stuffing to be an unforgettable wine. I can't wait to try this again in 5-10 years. 94-95

Drunk at the chateau and definitely a step up from the Chateau Ferrand which is their bigger production wine. Medium colour but definite spicy plum and forest floor tertiary notes. This continues to age well and may yet improve

Pale yellow-gold with green tint. Citrus, green apple, white peach, white flowers, medium toasted barrel, oak, hazelnut, flint and minerality. Medium-full bodied, medium-high acidity, medium structure, medium alcohol and medium finish. Complex, energetic and well-balanced. Good tension on the palate.

2021 Magis seemed to be less imposing than 2019 and 2020. Most likely due to the vintage. Still fabulous, but I would focus on buying 2019 and 2020, rather than 2021.
