White Blend more

Pale. Not much in nose. But very different, subtle but unusual taste, we think honeysuckle, with a saline twist.

Pure 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.

Good 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 Vineyard

Martinborough more

1/21/2024 - FraserMacmillen Likes this wine: 89 points

Solid 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.

A 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.

2016 Lismore Syrah Cape South Coast

more

12/15/2023 - FraserMacmillen wrote: 95 points

Medium bodied but solid dark red.
The nose is to die for, floral leafy aromas that I struggle to pin down. Nettles. Raspberry. Some saltiness, sea-weed.
On taste, smooth but notable acidity, paired well with steak and pink peppercorn sauce. Fruit is well balanced with spice, smokiness, there is some sweetness but also a wonderful freshness. We loved this.

2017 Château Maris La Touge

Minervois-La Livinière Red Rhone Blend more

11/10/2023 - FraserMacmillen Likes this wine: 90 points

Deep red.
On nose, changed with time, initially more fruit, but became funkier within an hour or so with strong herbal, hay/lavender/garrigue notes, bit barn yardy.
On taste, similar, matches the nose.
Could be smoother, still some acidity

Lovely syrah, well rounded / balanced, fruit/oak/herbs. Found that the herbal aromas (rosemary) came out more after some exposure to air.

This is one of the silkyest wines I've had, v smooth.

Red Blend more

4/30/2023 - FraserMacmillen Likes this wine: 89 points

Like most Priorats we did enjoy this.
Solid crimson red, belies a lightness of body.
Nose, quite herbal, rosemary, bit of oak?
Taste, dry, fruit (sour cherry?), green pepper, quite a lot the going on. Moderate acidity. Quaffable.
Not the smoothest Priorat but tasty and v enjoyable at this price point..

2020 Inama Soave Classico Vigneti di Foscarino

4/7/2023 - FraserMacmillen Likes this wine: 88 points

Pale white, doesn't give much away on the nose.
Hard to describe this. Quite a bit of acidity but a pleasant mouth feel, interesting taste but quite one dimensional we thought. Pleasant, but taste is subtle. Maybe we're missing something?

4/2/2023 - FraserMacmillen Likes this wine: 88 points

Pale 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.
