2020 Filipa Pato Bical Nossa CalcarioBairrada more |
9/2/2022 - Boudica wrote: flawedI took this to my tasting group tonight and it was resoundingly disliked by all tasters. This wine is Brett affected. It's subtle, but still very noticeable, and really diminishes the quality, flavour and aroma of this wine. A definite thumbs down. Very disappointing given the reviews it has received elsewhere and for the price paid - $70 AUD is not ok for this quality. |

9/14/2022 - CADomer Likes this wine: 93 pointsTo me this wine is pure happiness and when I drink it I find it nearly impossible to focus my mind on the tasting notes that I am experiencing. What I am struck with is more of a feeling of overwhelming pleasure that leaves me feeling all warm and fuzzy.

2018 Henri Jouan Coteaux Bourguignons Cuvée ThomasPinot Noir more |
8/29/2021 - viniferatu Likes this wine: NRI don't agree with other tasters that this is underripe. If anything, I think some very ripe grapes made it into the blend, as there are clear raisined and cooked qualities to the fruit, but it does have some green notes that are pretty typical of Pinot, and it is certainly tart. The 2018 vintage was probably tough unless you were very selective, and I'm thinking Jouan threw in some less than perfect grapes.... I still like this quite a bit.

8/28/2021 - viniferatu Likes this wine: NRA little smoky and reductive at first, but it opens up beautifully with air. This is one of my favorite styles: herbal, earthy, ethereal, just the tiniest bit sweet. Diverse citrus juice and pith notes, wild herbs, white flowers... tense and nervy, just a hint of soothing sweetness. Delicate and quite herbal. Lovely!

2016 Fratelli Alessandria Barolo MonviglieroNebbiolo more |
6/19/2021 - viniferatu Likes this wine: NRThis is really too serious to be opening now, but I love Alessandria and I have been dying to give this, their iconic wine, a try. Dark and brooding, and slow to open, but it does show very well tonight. Aromas of red and black cherry, blue plum, the fruit element is intense and borderline jammy, this is quite ripe, plus lots of non-fruit intrigue including violets, dry pine forest, and whispers of mint, peppercorns and licorice... Thick and velvety on the palate, it has great structure in deep plush tannins and a clear vein of powerful acidity. It is unyielding on the mid palate, but the finish bursts with flavor, so many ripe fruits and spices lingering very long. Not as tight as I thought it might be, but this is obviously more than a decade away from its peak.

6/13/2021 - viniferatu Likes this wine: NRI love the wines of V Paris, but this is throwing me for a loop. There is a ton of VA, and at moments I am just not finding this at all pleasant.... aromas of rotting plum and cherry, wilted flowers, crunchy blackberry, petrichor, peppercorns... thick and tangy, rather sour, finishes long and spicy, and it is here that it redeems itself, but this just seems off, I dunno

2019 Von Schubert Maximin Grünhäuser Abtsberg Riesling SpätleseMosel Saar Ruwer more |
2/25/2021 - viniferatu Likes this wine: NRSmoky and a bit stinky tonight. Aromas of peach juice and peach skin, apricot, honeysuckle, apple jelly, spice, black tea and minty herbs. Richly textured and luscious, with honeyed and floral inner perfume to match its sweet fruit. This feels like it'll be cloying at first, but it turns quite elegant and mineral on the finish. The finish is gorgeous, with plenty of lifted herbal and floral stuff lingering alongside sweet fruit and delicate honey, integrated electric acidity wends its way through all the richness carrying filigree nuance long. This is brilliant Spatlese. Way too young, but I really wanted to try some Grunhaus 2019 soon.

2018 Envinate MiganCanary Islands Listan Negro more |
12/8/2020 - viniferatu Likes this wine: NREthereal and peppery, this is so much fun. Reductive and a little smoky, this element mostly blows off and integrates with all the other stuff. Aromas of peppercorns, blood orange, red plum, strawberry, iron, fennel seed, dry autumn meadow, rosehips, a little roasted and charred something or other.... there's plenty of mystery and intrigue here. Fresh and lively on the palate, light to medium in body, very mineral and herbal, very dry but not so tannic, lots of tart juicy fruit, but gentle acids, subtle satin textured, there is great balance and such character. Lingering notes of blood orange and herbs are delicious, but the clear and present minerality, a pure chorus of rocks, is utterly intoxicating. This is like some kind of sunny red Muscadet. It is awesome.

2018 Domaine Dupont-Fahn Bourgogne Blanc Chaumes des PerrièresChardonnay more |
12/5/2020 - viniferatu Likes this wine: NRPretty and ethereal nose of vanilla, almond extract, underripe strawberry, green apple, lemon, white flowers and a hint of toasty cereal. Fresh and mineral, a clean acid line drives everything. Medium in body, there's subtle chalky grip, and a touch of citrus pith. This does not impress with weight or significant texture, but it has sneaky concentration and lingers beautifully. Finishes tart and mineral, with pure lemon and apple notes, and a moderate amount of oak spice and creaminess. I'm not sure this will be worth saving for more than a few years, but right now it is easy-going and quite indicative of its origins. Tastes like a nice Meursault to me!

2016 G.D. Vajra Barolo AlbeNebbiolo more |
12/13/2020 - viniferatu Likes this wine: NRYum! Juicy and fresh Barolo. Aromas of strawberry, red cherry, red plum, ripe peach, brown spice, licorice, dried mushrooms, desiccated autumn meadow and roses. Juicy and firm at once, with notions of dark fruit on the palate, as well as the fruits discerned on the nose. Also more savory on the palate than on the nose, with a little tar and pan drippings on the finish. This is quite open now, but the best will come in 5 to 10 years. It will no doubt be doing fine in 15, but perhaps will have peaked before then. Wouldn't be surprised if it is singing hits at 20+. One would not argue that it is the best of Barolo, but given its stature and price, it is a veritable monument for the region.

9/28/2023 9:05:00 PM - I don't think you got a representative bottle. I'm also thinking you're mistaking Bairrada sponti (see Lars Carlberg's piece entitled "What's the stink") for Brett. Maybe this wine is a smidge Bretty, but I really don't think so; it is yeasty in a different way, if you ask me. I fear that this wine did not travel to Australia under ideal conditions, and that is perhaps why it was so disappointing for you. My experiences with Filipa Pato always highlight pristine fruit, but I'll also note that even her entry level Dinamica wines typically need many hours of air, if not a day or so, to really open up and blow off their sponti-ish aromas. Hope you have a better Pato experience soon!
