Vintage 2016. The color is bright and ruby. The nose is red fruit and minerals. The mouth keeps the same sensation the confy increases, but well-rounded. The aftre taste is short, which is a pity. — 5 years ago

High acid juicy juicy juicy!! Red jelly bean (jolly rancher brand). Butter fruits, maybe overripe plum. Sensation of fizziness in my nose but it’s a flat wine. Juicy plump slightly overripe strawberries on the nose. Ok I think def watermelon jolly rancher too. YUMMMM!! — 6 years ago

Quality check on Le Raganie Brunello di Montalcino 2013 and what a showstopper, starting off a bit shy but evolves into a layered complexity with plenty of finesse, with four hours in the decanter its hard to raise your nose from the glass. Red, very vibrant fruit is backed up by dried spices and pronounced but balanced savoury complexity of forrest floor and crushed stones. A subtle volatile lift brings further complexity. Fresh palate with, fine grained tannins and a tactile sensation that brings the wine throughout its long finish. Not Brunello, its a trademark Ragnaie! — 6 years ago

#magnum #barberadasti developed, ripe high tannins, high alcohol sensation even though label says 13.5, low acidity, very Mediterranean, still smooth texture and complex tertiary aromas. I thought it had some Merlot or Mourvèdre blind tasting, very cooked red fruit. — 8 years ago

This Albariño pours up pretty in the glass - yellow-gold and a touch of bubbles. The bubbly sensation doesn't last too long, but it's festive while it’s there. The nose brings some citrus - of course - and a smattering of stone fruit and ripe apples. In the mouth, the magic really begins. The acidity is razor-sharp and a complete delight. The bottle should come with a dozen oysters. Flavors of apples and Meyer lemons grace the palate and you simply don't run out of minerals. There's a lot to like here, and it lasts long beyond the sip. — 9 years ago

Wow, just Wow--Simply in a perfect place and drinking beautifully, the 2005 Domaine de Caillou Les Quartz Chateauneuf du Pape takes some time to open up. Nearly an hour in a decanter transforms plum sauce and brown spice into ripe cherry, blackberry with a citrus spritz, sweet rose, smoky minerals, undergrowth and animal musk. It's silky and rich on the palate, without being heavy, showing mineral-infused red and black fruits, backed by zippy acidity and spice, leaving a fresh yet grippy sensation. The finish is long, and still structured, teeming with lively energy and sizzling away to a note of tart raspberry and tobacco. This has a decade worth of maturity in store for us... If you can find it, don't hesitate! — 5 years ago

Excellent wine, the style is minimalist but very focussed. The sensation is that of a natural but elegant wine, some sort of a gentleman farmer style, I love it. The nose starts with some leathery hints and with some air it gets quite fruit forward with an accent on black currant and small red fruits. The mouth shows very youthful with firm tannins and a vibrant acidity. I'll buy again. — 6 years ago

When opened it had strong, off smells and was nearly undrinkable. It took hours to turn into a beautiful wine, and the next day was lush in fruit dimension and sharp with acidity. Whew, patience. — 6 years ago

So much subtlety going on with this wine. Lots of flavors from great fruit and great minerality. Lots of complexity that is super fun to unpack. Definitely have the sensation of never being able to taste all of the flavors in this. — 7 years ago

The bright golden color of this Riesling is very intense such as the nose that offers a clean fragrant bouquet. The first smell goes on greedy ripe fruit and hints of fresh butter quickly balanced by floral aromas. The first sensation of the palate is lively and reveals a sharp freshness on delicate green apple and lime. Then it soften to give flavorsome white peach aromas. Very well balanced the finish is smooth and refreshing. For those who like to have a evolving palate, this wine will not let you down. — 8 years ago

Från högt belägna vingårdar på berget Dentelles de Montmirail. Aromatisk. Ganska lätt i kroppen med en sval känsla. Mörka bär, rosblad, bacon, blodgrape, garrigue. Avslutet är rökigt med en mineral sensation. Ofiltrerad och charmigt lättrustik. — 5 years ago

A nice crisp white wine that really might be one of the better examples of true minerality that I’ve seen. The sensation of wet stone really comes through - would give this bottle to someone who wants to understand what people mean when they say that. Precise and enjoyable with a long finish. — 6 years ago

So rich and tropical. Some sweetness (or the sensation of sweetness). Only complaint is lack of finish. — 6 years ago

Nice wine - definitely a step up in complexity from a “normal” white. I would recommend this wine to anyone looking to understand what an ocean-like salinity really tastes like as that sensation is quite intense here. Loads of acid but still balanced. — 6 years ago

Very nice Kabinett here. Leaves quite dry sensation even though there is residual sugar here. Not the lightest od Mosel Kabinetts but a very good one. — 7 years ago

Browning crimson red. Tiring looking, fading in color. Dull and widened rim.

Decent bouquet of mature Bordeaux claret. Dried cassis, blackberry, mushroom, cedar, cured meat, old leather, and damp soil.

Completely resolved. Smooth mouthfeel full of dried red fruit, minerals, graphite. Lingering sensation of cedary oak on the backend.

Great price at less than 20 euro. An elegant wine given the hot year. Pop and pour recommended. 89.

This should not be decanted too much — 8 years ago
