2019 Château de la Négly Coteaux du Languedoc La Clape Blanc La Brise MarineWhite Blend more |
3/30/2024 - FraserMacmillen Likes this wine: 90 pointsPale. Not much in nose. But very different, subtle but unusual taste, we think honeysuckle, with a saline twist. |

2019 Cantina Roccafiore Umbria Il roccafioreSangiovese more |
2/2/2024 - FraserMacmillen wrote: 90 pointsPure crimson, bit of fresh fruit and slightly metallic/plastic on the nose, almost like pencil lead. On taste wonderful freshness, cranberry/cherry/raspberry flavours, with a spicy woody kick. Some may baulk at the acidity? Good stuff, very quaffable, and still young. |

1/29/2024 - FraserMacmillen wrote: 89 pointsGood stuff. Solid straw colour. On nose I get almonds and lemon. Full bodied, viscous, on taste lovely freshness, citris, balanced by smooth butturyness and saltiness. Could imagine it with oysters, but enjoyed with an aubergine and lemon risotto. |

2019 Craggy Range Pinot Noir Single Vineyard Te Muna Road VineyardMartinborough more |
1/21/2024 - FraserMacmillen Likes this wine: 89 pointsSolid red. On nose abundant fruit and pencil lead, which follows through on taste. Cherry, cranberry fruit. Soft tannins. Bit split on rating, 87-90, this is on the fruity side of pinot which for us tones the rating down. |

1/19/2024 - FraserMacmillen Likes this wine: 89 pointsA v good full bodied red. Dark. On nose hit by the wood, but not overly packed. Lovely balance of wood, fruit and spice. Great winter wine. Fun label also. Split between 89 and 90, either way, it's lovely. |

4/2/2023 - FraserMacmillen Likes this wine: 88 pointsPale straw colour, Amazing nose, reminds me of a some Bordeaux sauvignon, pineapple, but also some maritime salninity, and minerals: inticing. On taste good balance of creamy butteriness and acidity. Slight zing. Apple and pineapple fruit for me. 88-89. |
