This Pa brewery is rocking my world. Close my eyes and taste this, and I drift back to my time when I lived in Waterloo, Brussels. Label says 9.5% abv, but it’s tucked in nicely. Woody notes on the palate, with cardamom, cloves and licorice. Heart-warming as it slips down the hatch. Well done! — 7 years ago

Light golden color. Granny Smith apple dominant on the nose with hints of tropical fruit and moderate new oak. Mid-weight on the palate with bright acidity and pleasant flintiness. 14.5% alcohol. Mostly barrel fermented with the remaining 8% fermented in concrete then aged 12 months in 42% new French oak. $80. — 9 years ago

Wax on with zesty lime and green apples, and wax off with a long bitter honeysuckle finish. Pairs well with nutty tomme cheeses, but does well on its own as a Sunday afternoon snack. — 10 years ago

Un Blanc de Blanc ? Celui là est merveilleux ! Une gourmandise du début à la fin. Une robe dorée, un nez toasté, abricot et agrumes, une rondeur en bouche avec une équilibre des arômes superbe.

1990 vintage. At Cabotte in London. Medium golden hue. Wonderful nose of nutty, old oak, and stone fruits. Some oxidation. Slight anti septic aromas, but pleasant. Complex. On the palate, rich and silky, with real body and high concentration of flavour. Good length. Classic. Drink now until 2020+ — 10 years ago

Fooook meee! Do love #Tondonia Viña Gravonia 05' blanco #crianza it's the nuts, it smells of nuts and stewed apples and almonds & has a liquid mineral core with waxy lemon, golden syrup, Mr. Tom bars (remember them?), also smells of honey, acacia, toffee popcorn & lemon oil. Has a wonderfully fat palate with a chewy nuttiness along with rich lemon rind, peach & apricots (specially the skins), juicy, long and complex finish. Works great with fish (tonight with smoked haddock in a cheddar & chive sauce, butter braised samphire, edamame & butter bean salad with giant couscous n feta) — 11 years ago
