Beaming with red fruits and great balance.

The mousse is outstanding, it’s full on but yet still elegant and not over the top with thousands of tiny little bubbles. This matches Perrier-Joet rose champagne and beats other Rose Champagnes.

Medium + Aroma, salmon pale, high acidity, dry, Pronounced Raspberries, strawberries and cranberries, also redcurrants, red cherries, red apple and red plums, brioche, dried raspberry, dried cranberry, cheese, toast, pastry, bread dough, blackcurrant leaf, rose, honeysuckle, lemon, lime, jamminess, kirsch, Forrest floor, mushroom, caramel, wet leaves, cream and fig.

Long finish and high complexity. Top top Cornish Sparkling Rose done in the traditional (champagne) way. This acidity is very high and so are the aromas so this will preserve for many years.

Still tastes so young! Will easily go for another 10+ years. Wonderful primary, secondary and tertiary flavours. I think the 2009 slightly edges it however. Medium + everything. Incredible value again for a Gran Reserva Rioja.

Citrus forward currently, I think I have drank this too early… I would leave this for at least 3-6 years for more development.

Lemon, lime, orange peel, grapefruit, pineapple, acacia, chamomile, blossom, honey, nuts, hints of Caramel.

It felt Medium-Sweet sugar levels to me rather than full blown dessert wine.

2013 Clos l'Église (Pomerol) Esprit de L'Église

Red Bordeaux Blend more

1/23/2024 - Jonesy’s Vino Likes this wine: 92 points

Pomerol along with Saint-Émilion produces the best Merlot in the world from the clay, limestone, some sand and gravel soils, old vines and expert winemakers. This bottle has 85% Merlot with the rest being with the traditional right bank Cabernet Franc.

It produces Full bodied Merlot and not the medium everything you have from the house wines or some new world options.

This example is very good value and can keep drinking for 5-10 years with careful cellaring.

Blackcurrant, Black Cherry, BlackBerry, Oak, Chocolate, Tobacco, earth, leather, cedar, cigar box, black plum, red cherry and strawberry.

The tannins were gripping, delicious and high with high acidity, the flavour intensity was pronounced, aroma medium + and the finish was medium- long. The wine was dry and the complexity was high.

Drink now - 2032.

Marlborough more

1/8/2024 - Jonesy’s Vino Likes this wine: 92 points

I am not a Sauvignon Blanc fan however I cannot deny the complexity and depth in these Marlborough SB, they are astonishing young wines.

I am more a Chardonnay or Riesling fan but I respect the flavours and winemakings in these NZ delights far too much.

Pronounced aromas and flavours of Passionfruit++, Grapefruit, blossom and pineapple.
Also, Lime, Apple, elderflower, grass, gooseberry, green bell pepper, lemon, chamomile, lychee, mango, blackcurrant leaf, wet stones and asparagus.

Flavour intensity = Pronounced
Acidity = High
Sweetness = Dry
Body = Medium
Finish = Long

Outstanding Wine.

Another Alsace delicacy. Pinot Gris the French upper class version to the Italian Pino Grigio.

Alsatian whites are incredibly unique to the world of white wine. The Vosges mountains creating a barrier against bad weather letting the vineyards enjoy excellent sun.

This Pinot Gris displays… Pinneapple, ginger, honey, melon, peach, lime, orange, pear, banana, apricot, apple, Lemon, lychee, blossom and acacia.

Medium aroma, medium-high flavour intensity, medium body, high complexity, medium-long finish and high acidity.

2021 Hedonist Wines Shiraz The Hedonist

McLaren Vale more

12/29/2023 - Jonesy’s Vino Likes this wine: 90 points

McLaren Vale easily matches Barossa Valley for big South Aussie Shiraz. Having lived in Adelaide I was able to sample many and visit all the regions to my utter delight.

Pronounced Cassis, BlackBerry, Blackcurrant.
Also Black Plum, BlackCherry, Black Pepper, eucalyptus, forest fruits, vanilla, violet, oak, blackcurrant leaf, raspberry, strawberry, chocolate, leather, olive, liquorice, mocha, bramble.

Will become much more complex with many more years of aging, but drink now for a new world fruit explosion of joy, luckily I have one more which I will age for the longer term and compare. The fruit will however go for many more years in this beauty. Full bodied, medium-high tannins. High acidity. High flavour intensity. Long finish. Pronounced aroma.

Drink 2024-2032 with careful cellaring.

I love to try younger Barolo’s compared to the more classic aged Barolo’s but you should never drink a Barolo younger than 5 years.. it’s tannins and acidity need to soften and the flavour needs to develop, red cherries, black cherries, cranberries, violet, roses, blackcurrant, raspberry’s, redcurrants, dried cherries, dried cranberries, hints of oak, tobacco, Italian herbs, truffles, cedars, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves. Medium aroma, high acidity, high tannins, medium-plus flavour intensity, medium-plus complexity, medium finish. A good example of a Barolo.

This is yet another cracking Chilean wine, Chile breathes great value in wine. The blackcurrant shines through dominantly with great taste, there are hints of black cherry and black plum. The spices from the oak complement the wine. There is cedar, touches of mint, hints of chocolate and a cheeky aroma of green bell pepper. The acidity is high, tannins are medium-high, the flavour intensity is medium -high, the complexity is medium and finish is medium.

The finish was long , it was dry, the acidity was high, the flavour intensity was high, the tannins were grippingly delightful the aroma was complex.. and my girlfriend was blown away… said it was most intensely delicious wine she had ever tried.. and it’s one of my favourites too. Luckily I have one for the 2016 vintage which I will age much longer for flavour comparison. The 2017 Enjoy you will.. right now.. in a couple years or in many many more.. it will age beautifully.
