2 year anniversary dinner for Tannat! Fresh, gourmand, fine bubbles, one of my most favorite recent discoveries. — 8 years ago
Surprisingly subtle with a bit of smoke, but gentle, yet complex enough that each taste had a new discoveries. — 9 years ago
you better have this vinery on your screen! one of my personal discoveries at vievinum 2014. super likeable winemakers (each of them in a bread-and-butter job with big names and at their own little estate as well).
homeplay. one of my favourite blaufränkisch!
for me comparable look and feel to prieler's "goldberg", which is a BIG yardstick! elegant, cool type with complex palate and just the right arc of suspense. makes me smile ~~
so i correct my entry line:
you better have this vinery in your cellar!

One of the discoveries of the vintage so far, but more so how far Lamy has come in his wines that aren't St.-Aubin, this is outstanding. — 8 years ago
LEFKADIA winery (Krasnodar, Russia)
LIKURIA RESERVE WHITE BLEND (Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Gewürtztraminer)
Vintage 2012
Tasted 13/01/2015
Inspired by previous discoveries of Russian wines, I've moved further and find something very unusual - blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay & Gewürtztraminer. It's NOT maturated in oak as one can guess seeing word "reserve" (pity, of course). What's inside? Sophisticated, elegant, fresh & crisp worthwhile white, pale lemon yellow coloured.
Delicate nose of white plum, kumquat, chrysanthemum and touch of minerality.
On well-balanced and live palate I've noted initial flash of mango and peach, followed by lime, white currant, white raspberry & lychee flavors.
Lovely lingering citrus acidity on finish with minerals back.
Paired finely with baked Karelian river trout and light homemade salad. — 9 years ago
One of my favorite red blend discoveries at Lot 18. Fresh and inviting. Very easy to over drink 😎 — 10 years ago
One of my favourite discoveries from Riesling Downunder and I couldn't wait to drink it with friends. Beautiful balance. Rheinhessen generosity, defined peach and nectarine flavours, bit of glaze, soft and correct acidity, breadth and focus. Complete. I love this wine. — 10 years ago
Sweet and medium, very pleasant to drink. — 8 years ago
So fresh for a 99. This is a great example of merlot at it's best. One of the best Bordeaux discoveries we've had in a while! — 8 years ago
This has been one of my greatest wine discoveries in many years. I tasted MC4 with a local wine merchant a couple of years ago and bought
a case on site. Wish I had bought more as now both the 12 and 13 are sold out. Having a bit of a love affair with this wine and I just can’t help myself from
dipping into my stash. Ripe and evolved blackberries. Acidity perfection and beautifully balanced. — 9 years ago
This one drives me towards more discoveries in Spain... — 9 years ago
One of the great discoveries in Gevrey Chambertin. Even young it drinks well. Typical cherry and spice but very elegant with excellent balance even for a 2013. Needs at least 3 more years to really open. Cool climate vintage ~ typically great Burgundy. — 10 years ago

A complexity, no flaws, a bomb! An incredible nose, very floral, of the rose. Black fruit flavors, sour cherries, a crazy length. Just wow.
