Ribeiro Brancellao Sousón

Vino afrutado muy fresco. Aroma y fragancia frutal. Ácidos, dulces y amargos todos moderados y equilibrados. De lo mejor blanco que he disfrutado — a month ago

Weingut Günther Steinmetz

Alter Satz Red Blend 2019

Beautiful wine - a blend of grapes so obscure the index of Jancis Robinson’s “Wine Grapes” reference will provide clues to only one of them. Highly aromatic - dried herbs & licorice - and a sweet sappy core. Cherry liqueur, buttressing acidity, medium finish. Good structure and balance. Lovely work. — 3 years ago

Fado Terres de Alter

Trincadeira Blend

In my next life I want to be a fado singer. In the meantime, this easy drinking, lemon forward, hints of herbs (tarragon, thyme) will completely suffice. Surprised by the low marks. — 2 years ago

Egon Müller

Scharzhofberger Kabinett Riesling 2016

A somm-recommended bottle after being consulted on which vintage might be the most open of the Egon kabi’s, and right he was. The 16’ was singing! Very Egon with the notes cassis, salt/slate, and a touch of cream. Definitely sweeter and richer (less of a classic kabi) than the Haart Ohligsberg Alter Reben kabi, but still very energetic and quaffable. Plus, I can’t look pass how singular these wines are (see notes on the other mentioned wine on a little related rant). — 3 years ago

Château Beaumont

Cru Bourgeois Haut-Médoc Red Bordeaux Blend 2020

Delectable Wine
8.9

A good solid Haut-Médoc" is how I described the 2020 Beaumont when I tasted it from barrel. I've no need to alter that summation. A mixture of red and black fruit on the nose, this feels cohesive and detailed, not powerful yet it engages the senses. The palate is medium-bodied with sappy black fruit. There is just a slight bitterness that lends tension, quite sharp with black cherry, orange rind and cedar notes towards the finish. It's not going to win the wine of the vintage but it's a…well, I told you at the beginning. (Neal Martin, Vinous, February 2023) — 3 years ago
