Ripe plum on nose, but unripe fruit when tasting. Quite sour, and very little going for it.

not what I was expected. A little of pomerol, but not much. Not much spice and pepper, little fruit, a bit deadened, and not much aftertaste. Ok wine, but not at this price.

Cleary too young, with strong acidity and tanins not quite integrated yet. Though after 1 hour opened up, with good raspberry, blackberry and earthy tones. Chewy tanins after 2 hours. Goes thourgh a period of overly alchohol on the nose, but mellows out with black fruits and earth. Medium aftertaste.

dark purple colour and sweet and musty on the nose. Red fruit and subtle chocolate and slight earthy feel to the taste. medium long aftertaste. Nice and complex. Well integrated and subtle, even with an alcohol level of 14,5% (on bottle)

strong raspbery taste, and fruit on the nose. A bit sharp, and not very concentrated. Good overall wine, though not spectacular. Everyday wine

fantastic white wine, very deep flavour, sharpness and balanced. Lemon, grape, peach in a wonderful patchwork. Long aftertaste, that changes from sour to sweet over time.

dark, lucious and with good dark fruits. Big taste, lots of power, concentration and long aftertaste. Sharp start to the wine is in good contrast to powerful fruit. Refined.

unstructured, with vinegar on the nose, and overripe fruit on the nose. Very sour taste, with unstructured tanins and acidity all over the place. Not worth the bottle it came in.
