Eged-Hegy Dülö Kékfrankos 2009

K U
8.9

Sundried tomatoes with some dried oregano and herbs. Little bit of olives. Acid is nice. Sole cranberry sandal wood and Rose hips contrast and no so subtle mineralality. The kekfrankos is the Same as the blaufrankisch. 1530s the bull's blood wine. The story goes that the people were surrounded, drank all the wine and charged an attack against the Ottoman Empire. Killed the head of the snake and they scattered. Not sure if the legend is true but it's The only town in the Ottoman Empire area that has been left pristine. 😏 regardless it's a darn good wine — 10 years ago

Felton Road

Block 5 Pinot Noir 2002

First time trying an old Felton Road and a Block 5 courtesy of Can. Forest floor, some black fruits. Great concentration with depth and intensity of flavour. Good length but never felt over-blown or heavy. Shows why this wine is an icon. 94 points — 11 years ago

Felton Road

Central Otago Riesling 2008

Umm, not dry. Can't remember how much sugar, but it's about medium dry. Very good, too - mellow lemon, honey tones from age, generous, fresh and juicy through the palate, shapely and with bags of charm. — 11 years ago

Central Otago Pinot Noir 2007

Still plenty of fruit. Sweet black cherry and spice. A nose reminiscent , strangely enough, of a Charles Hiedseick NV champagne — 11 years ago

Abrau Durso

Brut Champagne Blend

Just speaking from me personally taste this my favorite sparkling wine ever. Made for Imperior house in Russian Empire. Blended 11 grapes and the taste just crisp acidity, red apples and a hot of swiftness in aftertaste. Not a method traditional, but very nice sparking! — 11 years ago

Tiare

Empire Sauvignon Blanc 2011

Collio DOP 2011, 14%. Bottle taste in November 2014.
Beautiful color, luminous and slightly green.
Typical Sauvignon nose: leaves of tomatoes and geraniums.
Grapes were slightly overripe, short cryomaceration, aged large barrels. Very elegant in the mouth, with taste of sage, but I must admit that I am a Sauvignon lover. This wine won important prizes in France: very well deserved in my opinion.
