  • 2012 Viña La Rosa Chardonnay La Palma 82 Points

    Chile, Rapel Valley, Cachapoal Valley

    Quite expressive yellow tropical fruits in the bouquet. On the palate citrus, pineapple, litchi and apricots. Firm amount of bitterness in the finish. Overall and aromatic and tasteful wine with some sweetness as well. Not very interesting, but definitely a crowd pleaser.

  • 2009 Giacosa Fratelli Langhe Chardonnay Cà Lunga

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Langhe DOC

    The bouquet is not very expressive. On the palate mainly citrus and almost a bit drying in the finish. Some nuts and oxidized impressions. A special wine. Not sure if it is my style. Could the wine be a bit locked at the moment? Don't know. No score.

  • 2009 Massaya Blanc 83 Points

    Lebanon, Bekaa Valley

    Yellow fruits in the bouquet. On the palate tart lime, banana, some butter, bitter and sweetness and maybe even some limestone minerals. Nothing really exiting, but an ok wine.

  • 2012 Viña La Rosa Cabernet Sauvignon La Palma 77 Points

    Chile, Rapel Valley

    In the bouquet a lot of cherry fruits, a bit stinky and also some metal. On the palate lactic cherry yoghurt impressions, metal and a lot of sweetness. A very average wine, but nothing wrong with it.

  • 2001 Moss Wood Cabernet Sauvignon 90 Points

    Australia, Western Australia, South West Australia, Margaret River

    Not so many notes, but there are beautiful cherries, sweet spices, good acidity and a very firm amount of sweetness. This was tasted completely blind and the wine was not as impressive as I hoped for.

    Pleasant bouquet with sweet spices and some chocolate. On the palate soft tannin and pleasant acidity. A beautiful and intense wine. Completely ready now.

  • 2001 Col Solare

    USA, Washington, Columbia Valley

    Beautiful bouquet with a touch of barnyard. Juicy fruits, silky soft tannin and a lot of sweetness. I had the impression the bottle showed slightly corked impressions on the palate, but not serious enough for not tasting it. Nevertheless I don't score it.
