The acidity is overpowering the fruits of this wine.

Fantastic price-value! Easy drinking Champagne with flavors of apricot, green apple, and citrus. Subtle yeast flavors. Lacked the length for a higher rating. But again, for this price point, a no-brainer.

What a stunning wine. Lots of minerality coming with some floral accents and a beautiful white fruit taste. Tasted blind and everyone guessed it is a Burgundy. Still has a long future in front of itself.

Unusual blend of Chasselas and Johannisberg (Silvaner/Sylvaner).

Very nice taste of ripe pear, white flowers, minerality and some brioche. Long finish and nice acidity. Definitely can cellar longer.

Decanted the wine for 11 hours - was definetely worth the wait. Nice complexity with cherry flavours, cloves, white pepper and also some raisin like flavours. Tannins very smooth. Very nice wine, paired perfectly well to a medium-rare tenderloin steak.

Nose: White peaches, grapefruit, ripe pineapple, slightly oxidative aroma in a positive sense

Palate: confirming the nose, pronounced white peaches flavours

Overall: Texture is round and generous, and the structure, thanks partly to the wine’s natural richness, has a lot of flavours.

Still young, but already drinking very nicely. Aromas of honeysuckle, apple and a bit of pear. Hint of petroleum flavor - in a positive sense. Has a hint of sweetness to hit and paired very well to medium spicy Chinese food. Will retry again in 2-3 years.

Lots of black fruit in this beautiful wine. Taste of blackberries, black cherries, some cloves, little acacia and a hint of vanilla from the oak used. Still a young wine, needs some air to explore itself.

Nose: Mushrooms and truffles from bottle age, dried blackberries, hint of smoke

Palate: med+ long, med acidity, med- tannins, med+ body, taste of prunes, dried blackberries, mushroom, savoury

Overall very nice wine to drink now and will not improve any further

Very nice wine! Red fruit driven by red cherries, cranberry, dried strawberries, but also some black cherries can be found. Rounded off with black pepper. Well-refined tannins, high complexity and a well-balanced finish.

While drinking I would have wished to have more bottles of this beauty! Tastes of wild honey, wet stones, ginger and of course its floral notes are super balanced. The acidity is high, which gives the wine an intense liveliness. Elegant, pure, precise - and very long!

This 1996 Tignanello was still performing beautifully! Super balanced and smooth. Would have not guessed that this wine is already 20+ years old! Decanted it for 30 mins. Paired perfectly with beef tenderloins, homemade mash and leek.

Opened two bottles, one had cork taint, the other was great. Commenting on the great one.

Lots of cooked black berries, dried plum, raisins, little leather, little dark chocolate - overall very smooth and very nice to drink. Not sure if it will get any better in a couple of years - I would drink now.

Nice and fresh Pinot Gris with floral (camomille and white blossom) as well as pear flavours. Well balanced and nice finish.

Very nice Alvarinho. Got a lot of lime, green apple, peach and wet stone flavors. Overall medium to high acidity. Overall very nice wine, will have to get more.

Pronounced flavours of chocolate, vanilla, black cherries and dried plum. Definetely more on the cooked and dried fruit side than fresh fruits. Medium+ body and long finish. Bold wine!

Strong lime and green apple flavours and hints of peach and pear. Nose and palate match. Overall very nice balanced wine with a nice length and intensity.

Primary fruit driven: crisp green apple, lemon juice, pear, pineapple and some tertiary aroma of petrol. Acidity medium-high.

Very enjoable to drink, but missing a bit of fruit intensity.

Very nice old world style Chardonnay, with a citrus flavor. Also some stone fruit and yellow apple. This wine is ready to drink now, but sure it will also be great in 2-3 years.

Nice medium body Merlot. Medium tannins. Blackberry, vanilla and some black cherries on the palate. Don't think the wine will develop significantly - drink now.

First glass of the bottle using Coravin. Even though on the young side it strikes you with its blackberry and blueberry like flavours right away. In the nose also toffee. Body medium and tannins balanced and nice. Very long finish - in fact you still have the taste in your mouth a couple of minutes after the last sip. Beautiful and looking forward to get a glass once in a while using Coravin. 92+
