Ruby red color. Delicious Syrah aromas, with dark forest berries, herbs and forest floor, but also lighter berries like raspberries. After a while some wet brick. Surprisingly light, with little tannins and delicious fruit, where the light fruit reminds a bit of a Burgundy.

Dark and dense color. Aromas in direction of sweet dark berries, flowers, leather, tobacco and some oaky vanilla, and reminds somewhat of a "new world Bordeaux wannabe". Fruity and meaty on the palate, still with nice structure.

Aromas not ulike a Provence rosé, with ripe strawberries and herbs. Fruity, dense and full bodied, also like a Provence rosé, with nice structure and a slight bitterness in the finish.

Dark and dense color. Earthy aromas with sweet dark fruits, wet bark, herbs and some alcohol. In the mouth the wine is rich, mature, soft and not quite dry, and appears more agreable than the Orzada Carmenere, which is a bit surprising.

Tight ruby red color. Aromas of ripe dark berries, herbs, dark chocolate and something woody, or stalky, the latter probably green notes from pyrazine. Firm and structured, with good intensity for a wine at this price level.

From a magnum. Traditional Rioja aromas, with very sour cherries, black olives and wood, although not as woody as five years ago. Intense and sharp, with pronounced acidity, tending to being unpleasant. Needs fat meat!

From a magnum. Lovely, developed and Merlot dominated aromas, with leather, earth and liquorice. Ripe and generous.

Developed aromas of yellow fruits and ripe pears, in addition to some sur lie and toast. Rich, fresh and fruity on the palate, with good length. The best so far, and good value for money.

Color something between redcurrant and mullet. Delicious aromas of honey and red berries, like raspberries and plums. Light weighted, velvety and semi sweet on the palate. I mean a bottle tasted before X-mas was better, though.

Earthy aromas with dark fruits, leather, coconut, but also some floral notes. Full bodied and a bit rustique, with coarse tannins. Typical Saint-Estephe with its rough style.

Typical and powerful Sangiovese aromas with dark plums, tobacco, forest floor and some barrique. Powerful, smooth, concentrated and impressive on the palate, with a bit jam like fruit, which could come from the old vines.

Very Sauvignon Blanc on the nose, with green (pyrazine) aromas. Also some ripe apples and blackcurrant bush. Full bodied and quite oily in the mouth.

Nice Beaujolais with some nature wine aromas of farmyard/brett. Light and juicy on the palate.

3/17/2024 - AudunG wrote:

Very different from the generic Fleurie, as the Grille Midi is fatter and more meaty, with more concentration. This is certainly due to the old vines used here (90 years). It is also more enjoyable and accessible.

Cool cherry aromas. Tight, narrow and structured on the palate, with pronounced acidity. More Burgundy style than Beaujolais.

Expressive and ripe Sauvignon-Blanc aromas, with blackcurrant bush, citrus, nettle, smoke and green grass, in addition to some oak. Good concentration, with evident acidity. The sharpest Sauvignon Blanc edges have, however, been rounded off in the barrels. The wine can be drunk now, but will keep for at least another 10 years.

Delicious and floral Nebbiolo aromas with tar, leather and some liquorice, and fruit aromas in the direction of plums and cherries. Soft and delicate on the palate, with sweet fruit (mostly due to the residual sugar content of 6,8 g/l I guess).

Disgorged 2016. A bit developed, but rather light color, despite the age. Fruity and mature aromas with yellow apples and raspberries, vanilla and fresh baked bread. Quite full bodied, with sweet and rich fruit on the palate.
