2005 Château Bouscassé MadiranTannat Blend, Tannat more |
4/25/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: NRProbably my best Bouscassé experience so far (included Vielles Vignes and Montus). On the palate the wine is powerful wine a harmonious texture. Still some tannins but not that disturbing. The fruit is wide open and feel rounded and almost sweet, far away from the blackness of the young wine. I wish some of my Bordeaux wines would be this nice after ten years. Great value also. |

2005 Château MazeyresPomerol Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/25/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: NRVery juicy and smooth, clearly developed, with nice energetic blue fruitiness, some bitterness from paprika, mint chocolate and a little "stench" quality that I appreciate. Drinkable now with very kind tannins and over all a very homogeneous mouth-feel. This bottle was great but maybe not outstanding. |

4/24/2015 - Magners wrote: NRDense, dark fruit and mint chocolate. Also a smell of horse that brings complexity. Very easy to like and absolutely drinkable already. Lacks a little personality but of course you can spot concentration and quality here. Not my cup of tea and I will not buy again but I don't regret that I tasted it. |

2013 Planeta Etna RossoEtna DOC Nerello Mascalese more |
4/20/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 87 pointsElegant on the palate with fresh acidity and just a hint of tannins. Sun-ripe, red berries and wet stones. A good drink in this price-range, nice and clean, but lacks concentration. |

2009 Castello di Monsanto Chianti Classico RiservaChianti Classico DOCG Sangiovese Blend, Sangiovese more |
4/20/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 92 pointsAn amazing bottle and far better that earlier tastings. Especially the oak has integrated nicely and the fruit is also wide open now. Medium-bodied and fresh, full of elegance and finesse this wine drinks beautifully now. Don't regret buying a case of these. |

1983 Weingut von Othegraven Kanzemer Altenberg Riesling SpätleseMosel Saar Ruwer more |
4/13/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: NRA very nice bottle, still with fresh acidity. On the palate of course very developed with notes of arrak, smokey mineral, tobacco and almonds but also some freshness in red apples and satsumas. The aromas are very complex and melted together. |

2010 Château de Cabidos Petit Manseng Sec Cuvée Compte PhilippeVin de Pays Pyrénees-Atlantiques more |
4/11/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: NRNot much has changed since I last tried this wine half a year ago. The wine is still really fresh and full of nuances. Citrus, mineral, bee-wax and some herbs. Very interesting and personal in a style that I drink way to seldom drink. |

2009 Clarendelle BordeauxRed Bordeaux Blend more |
4/11/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: NRSeems like you can buy any red wine from Bordeaux from the 2009 vintage and get a great experience. This wine is no exception and shows dense, ripe fruit with classical flavours as cassis, grass, coffee and gravel. Despite a few years old this wine feel rather young and there will be no problem keeping it maybe five years or so. |

1994 Dalva Porto VintagePort Blend more |
4/4/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 89 pointsVery developed on the palate with dried fruit, raisins, figs cherries in liqour and violet candy. Nice balance but shows a little bitterness and the finish is also rather short. Over all the wine tastes very good but lacks a little complexity and finesse. |

1993 Moulin Touchais Coteaux du LayonChenin Blanc more |
4/4/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 92 pointsA juicy and a little more than medium-bodied wine where acidity and residual sugar is in perfect balance. A very integrated touch of botrytis and a little mineral note brings further complexity. Clearly developed on the palate but not at all (too) old. The fruit is still fresh and energetic. An outstanding wine, year after year. |

1999 Château Bouscassé Madiran Vieilles VignesTannat more |
4/4/2015 - Magners wrote: 91 pointsSome development but still a lively acidity and rough tannins. Great concentration and length but the tannins make it hard to drink on its own. It may be me who is a little sensitive though. Rather open on the fruit with currant, black wine-gums, dried plums, tea and dark chocolate. |

2011 Delas Frères Condrieu La GalopineViognier more |
4/4/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 90 pointsVery fresh and high on acidity for a Viognier. Typical notes of peach, honey, bacon(!), orange flowers and bergamot. Long finish and powerful concentration. A great wine that doesn't need more time in the cellar I think. |

2009 Oremus Furmint Tokaji Dry Mandolásmore |
4/4/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 88 pointsA much better bottle than I had a year ago from this vintage. This on is dry, a little developed, a little waxy with notes of white peaches, almonds, hay, smokey minerals and a lovely, rich sun-ripe fruit. Fully integrated oak and a nice acididy makes the wine very harmonious and drinkable. A rather complex wine indeed. |

2008 Willi Schaefer RieslingMosel Saar Ruwer more |
4/4/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 88 pointsYummy. Rather sweet on the palate but with an acididty to back it up. Rich, tropical fruit that is still full of energy. Last bottle of the vintage unfortunately. An outstanding entry level riesling. |

2010 Gilles Robin Crozes-Hermitage Cuvée Albéric BouvetSyrah more |
4/3/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 90 pointsA generous wine with lots of not too sweet fruit and wet stones. Very drinkable with fresh acidity and smooth tannins. No signs of bay leafs or white pepper here, just nice, juicy fruitiness. Will last longer but drinks well right now. Will buy again. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

2008 Château Fourcas DupréListrac-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend more |
4/1/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 87 pointsMedium-bodied and elegant on the palate with rather tight fruit. Feels old-school in a good way with red berried, toasted oak and dried herbs. Right between the youthful and the developed and therefore very nice to drink now. Far from outstanding but a good glass of wine. |

2012 Oremus Furmint Tokaji Dry Mandolásmore |
4/1/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: NRGreat already but will be even better within a few years. Youthful on the palate with really high acidity and notes of apples, almond, basil and volcanic mineralty. The texture is oily but fresh. A great wine on its own or with food. |

3/28/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: NRA much better bottle than the one I tasted a year ago. This one i full of youthful energy combined with complex development. Very elegant on the palate with smooth tannins and fresh acidity. Perfect balance between fruit and spiciness from oak. |

3/28/2015 - Magners wrote: NRThis was a really boring bottle with a dusty, not so fresh feeling. The acidity has faded and the development is far from perfect. Some almonds, rotten apples and stoney minerals on the palate. A much better wine in it's youth. |

2009 Schloss Johannisberg Riesling Gelblack trockenRheingau more |
3/27/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: NRThis wine is in a lovely phase right now, still young and fresh but also with some development that brings smoothness and complexity. I find the fruit rather dense and ripe with some crispy mineral notes in the background. Very good. Will buy again if the price is right. |

3/21/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 92 pointsAn outstanding effort from an outstanding producer. Medium-bodied on the palate with rich fruit. Really concentrated and balanced with a long finish. Very interesting and also with great personality. Cherries, milk chocolate, coconut, toasted oak and minerals. Is this just about how great a Blaufränkish can get? |

3/21/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 88 pointsYoung with nice perfume, juicy on the palate with warm spiciness. Sweet red berries and toasted oak. Very elegant but a little light and with a short finish. Tastes very good and is well balanced. |

2012 Brigitte & Gerhard Pittnauer Weisse RebenNeusiedlersee White Blend more |
3/21/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 86 pointsYoung on the palate with minerals, pears and almonds. The texture is a little oily with high acids. A little too tight on the fruit at the moment. For me Pittnauer's red wines are a little more interesting at this price. Still a good drink though. |

3/20/2015 - Magners Likes this wine: 91 pointsThis is a really serious bottle of Gamay with loads of stoney minerals, dark berries and a little hint of leather. Well-structured with fresh acidity and also some tannins makes till a wine for the cellar. But why wait, it's outstanding already. |
