Very good, oak, dark fruit, some savoury notes as well. Still quite a lot of tannins so will last for another while.

Enjoyed it a lot, it hs a good balance of fruit and secondary tastes as well. Cassis and leather stood out.

Ready to drink but still retains plenty of tanin so can last for a while. Notes of leather, prunes, strawberries. Delicious.

This is a perfectly fine bottle of wine but in my view it lacks character. It is like drinking a very good bottle of syrah. Wouldn’t buy it with my own money.

Very fragrant on the nose. Red fruit on the palate but also warming long lingering spice. Like it.

Full of flavour, deep purple colour. Not very tannic. Reminds me of amarone a little bit. Delicious

Still some time to go to perfection. Tannin is mild but could still be rounder. Flavours of rose, licorice. Especially licorice more noticeable than in other nebbiolios. Delicious.

Very very good. Slighly plumy with notes of tobacco, eucalyptus, leather and chocolate. The body is excellent with very silky texture. Long finish. Tanins are spicy but not overpowering.

Decent, not my favorite but it is a quality wine with most of the pinot noir characteristic. Red fruit, strawberry. Not too much else and quite strong tannins. Not sure if this needs more time.

What a pleasant surprise. Unlike most other sangiovese I have had before. It is very elegant, with dark berries, hints of vanilla and coffee.

Vanilla, butter and pear on the palate. The finish is long lingering and slightly zesty.

This has gotten better since last time. Or maybe it s just a better bottle. The oak is more prominent and makes the wine more balanced as it mellows the fruit. Decent value still.

Love this wine, once again. Especially on day 2. The tannin is still prominent but the wine is more approachable. Light red fruit ont he palette with some flowery notes too. Light wine with strong personality thought

It is delicious but I was slightly disappointed by it. Seems very "proper" and not too interesting.

Nose of vanilla and pineapple. Some appricot and zesty lemon with a honey finish.

Dark ruby colour, still quite tanic. Flowery on the nose, tastes of red fruit, red cherry, cucumber, dill, cocoa powder, coffee. Pretty good but definitely feels like it will get better with more time.

Liked it a lot. Smokey, red fruit but with a lot of complexity I cannot describe. Still some strongish tannin which I hope would have stoftened by now.

Very tannic on day 1. On day 3 it got a bit more approachable. Very powerful chocolaty, leathery flavors. Big wine.

Quite mellow, feels well aged with not a lot of tannins at this stage. Quite spicy with notes of leather but also fermented fruit like cherries. Not bad.

Delicious white wine. Main flavours of peach and apple matched with stony and mineraly notes. Not as tropical as I came to expect from other Sauvignon Blanc

Even after 10 years in the bottle the wine is fresh and easy drinking. Very impressed. Taste of dark fruit, light acidity, slight greenness.

Really nice with a complex nose, medium body, some acidity which makes it fresh yet interesting. Long lingering finish. The tannin is still relatively strong.

Mostly secondary flavors of leather and cedar. Hints of cassis on the notes. Still very tanic. Overall slighly underwhelmed but probably needs more time.

Too oaky and not very interesting compared to other wines from the producer. No issues otherwise just didn’t match my expectations

Definitely more oaky than I expected for a Meursault. Not saying it is bad, just my expectation was set elsewhere. I did like it, what doesn't help is that the same label you can buy in Waitrose for 20 quid.
