A complex nose of yellow plum, fresh sliced apple, vanilla cream, honey, lanolin and spice are all in play. Mid-weight, there is sound acidity, and it is ready to drink.
At only 7% alcohol, this German Riesling from the Mosel is a wine you can gulp down all in one sitting … and you just might do that, it’s that good. A lime bomb on the nose, with gunflint, grapefruit and white peach aromas. It dances lightly on the palate with a vibrant core of natural acidity. It’s sweet, yes, but not at all unbalanced. Hold for 5 to 10 years to appreciate the emerging petrol notes.
Sourced from a Rocky Knoll Vineyard block in Cromwell sub-region. Complex aromas of dried herbs and savoury meats. Mix of ripe red/black fruit flavours on creamy-textured palate, supported by well-integrated tannins. Finishes with chocolate and spice notes. Ready for venison.
Very pale in colour with a hint of lime; grassy, passion fruit aromas with notes of green beans fill the nostrils. Medium-bodied and dry, grapefruit and green plum flavours excite your taste buds. The flavour goes on and on.
Bright ruby. Clean nose of red berries and oak-scented spices. Light- to medium-bodied with adequate acidity, fine but firm tannins. Ready to drink and great with surface-ripened cheeses like Brie or Camembert.
Round, full and expressive with melon, citrus, pear, herbal and floral notes. Fresh and lively with a salty, mineral quality and soft acidity. 100% Verdejo.
The 2001 vintage in Bordeaux hides some fine wines that are often underestimated in comparison to the much-celebrated, and great, 2000. This fine example shows signs of evolution in its colour and on the nose. Complex and hard to describe, the fruit is still present, but tertiary aromas (animal scents, etc.) take the front stage. Silky, it tastes fruity in its great elegance. Delicious and at its peak.
