A clean and bright straw yellow colour with light green tints and notes of ripe fruits such as apples and pear. Wafts of hay and tropical fruits with hints of passion fruit. A well balanced crisp fresh and easy to drink wine with a lingering silky finish with recurring notes of ripe fruit. An absolute bargain at under €7!! — 8 years ago

Very interesting wine to say the least. Aromas of toast, yeast, green apple, orange blossom and quince. Round and rich mouthfeel with crisp lemon dominating the palate. Less acidic than its French counterpart but fresh and easy drinking nonetheless! Great alternative to an uncharacteristic Pinot Grigio. — 9 years ago

Pebbles in the mouth, a light green herbal aspect I can't pin down, fresh citrus pith. Dry finish. Way too easy to drink, damn.

Update: Ok, this bottle needs a ton of air, stunning now, almost Chablis-like in minerality and fruit/acid levels. — 7 years ago

Welcome to Easter weekend and lets start the weekend off right with a wonderful Bordeaux Blend from Andrew Will, the 2011 Champoux Vinyard continues to impress. This is a right bank blend of 54% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Franc and 18% Cabernet Sauvignon.

The nose is beautifully expressive with notes of blackberry, black cherry, black currants, tobacco, licorice, chocolate, herbal notes, spice, violets and fresh tilled soil.

On the palate there is well balanced notes of black cherry, blackberry, black currant, green bell pepper that I love oh so much, chocolate, graphite shavings, and floral notes.

This is a full bodied wine with medium + acidity and firm outstanding gripping tannins. This wine does not disappoint.

Everyone have a great Easter weekend and please take thing easy, be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷 — 8 years ago

Fresh and fruity with tropical fruits - passion fruit, pineapple, kiwi. Underlying touch of green apple ups the acidity to make it an easy drinking wine for high-summer. — 9 years ago

This lovely 32 year old had a green herb and black olive nose that would be easy to mistake for Chinon! Great with lamb blocks and quite fresh on the finish! — 9 years ago

Peachy, green (yes, gruner), salty, fresh, yum. Accidentally drank a whole glass just in the time it took me to pick something to watch. (Admittedly, I was taking a long time to pick something. But it’s hella easy to drink is what I’m trying to say.) — 7 years ago

This Rioja white wine is made from 50% Viura grapes, 35% Tempranillo Blanco and 15% Maturana Blanca, and they claim it's the first wine in the world made from those varieties. The grapes were grown in estate vineyards located “in different Rioja terroirs.” The Vivanco Rioja Viura Blend 2016 is pale in the glass and offers up a nose of citrus and wet rock minerals. It's a gentle set of aromas, and the palate follows suit, with easy acidity - still quite fresh, though - and flavors of lemon pie with a spray of green apples. It should pair very well with white fish, risotto or pasta with butter and pepper. — 8 years ago

Fresh, fruity nose. Light, crisp and very fresh on the palate. Light peach, pear and green apple flavors lead to crisp minerality and a touch of salinity. The finish is long and easy with lingering minerality. — 9 years ago

I am loving what great winemakers did in '13. What a stunning nose of lemon candy, minerals, some funk and so clean. Lovely palate. Ripe and juicy with being pristinely clean and so pure It reminds me of a mountain stream. I love these wines. Balanced and fresh with nice easy going acids and great amplitude and volume on the palate. Lovely flesh and dominant mineral tones. Green apple and pear skin abound. — 9 years ago

It needed an hour decant to come around and blow off the barnyard funk. After that, elegance, ruby blue and red soft fruits; blueberries, bright cherries, fresh juicy strawberries, some cooked green bell early on that gradually faded, steeped tea, soft saddlewood & minerality, a touch of easy wet black earth, pebbles. The 88 has all the classic characteristics and elegant finish one comes to expect from Pichon Lalande. Not their best but pretty darn good on Christmas Eve into Christmas. Merry Christmas all!!! — 10 years ago
