9.0

Awesome honey & pain d’épices nose. On palate, sweet but balanced with some acidity. On finish, got Amontillado sherry-like flavors (biological and oxidative ageing) of rancio and yeast. Complex, beautiful. — 6 years ago

A typical pleasant red blend (4 local grapes) of Alentejo, where there are many of it. Has still potential to age few more years with high tannins, fruit and acidity. — 6 years ago

Semi Secco dosage is too sweet ! I wish to try the Brut version soon. Can be ok if you drink one glass in a bar with some tapas. — 6 years ago

Beautiful nose of cherry liquor and cooked cherry. Very distinctive and expressive. In mouth it has a sharp attack, then delicate tannins. Not dull, not complex, just good. — 6 years ago

8.0

Refreshing acidity, some tension on the palate that makes the wine so pleasant. A very well made and balanced entry level champagne ! Pinot Noir 40%, Chardonnay 40%, Meunier 20%. — 6 years ago

Is it possible to make a lighter Sangiovese than this ? Mixed feeling: very light on attack and mid palate, then get harsh tannins on finish . Was better after 2 days. You better open it and wait one or two days. Organic. — 6 years ago

Pazo de Bruxas (Familia Torres)

Rías Baixas Albariño 2017

Aromas of pomelo and grapefruit. Vivid acidity with some green notes and slightly mineral. A typical Albariño wine: good value, perfect with fried and seafood, and tapas ! Recommended. — 6 years ago

7.0

Very light and fruity Pinot Noir, not complex. A technical wine: do the grapes matter in this wine ? It looks like very scientific: a precise winemaking (selection of yeasts, etc) is involved i think. — 6 years ago

Château Les Graves

Premières Côtes de Blaye Red Bordeaux Blend

6.5

Usually good values can be found in Blaye. But I found in this wine too much tannins and a hot sensation (too much sulfites?). Decant it 3 hours before you drink it. — 6 years ago
