A very fruit forward Tinta de Toro (or Tempranillo) with ripe and dense dark fruits and tannic finish. — 6 months ago

This is a great, simple chenin from Savennières that I like to taste once in a while. We had it along with a raclette (yes I know, again) and it was a great pairing.
Green apple, honey, wax, a touch of lemon too. The palate shows a massive acid drive, but it's not just fresh, there is some width and matter to go with it. Lemon juice and green apple touches that caress the tongue play around the acid drive and build up in the rear, before a long and fresh finish with the same fruit touches and a tiny waxy note in the very end. Chenin is well deserving all the recent rave, really. — 9 months ago
Mineral driven, oyster shell, tart apple, soft finish. Pretty lively on day 1, lost a step the next night. — 18 days ago

Really tasty mix of grenache and syrah. Spiced, but definitely taste the fruitiness over all else. Lovely smell. Definitely a wine that we could drink regularly. Had this in Denmark. — 8 months ago
A ton of minerality on this one. Sea spray, quartz, lemon, yellow pear, white peach, creamy but with good acidity. Wound pair great with oysters but also dishes with a light cream sauce. — 2 years ago

Chardonesk-like varietal native to The Northewestern Iberian peninsula… Pale lemon on the eye with aromas of green pear, smith granny apple, but also hints of white flowers and rosemary. The palate is very similar to a high quality White Burgundy: medium body, medium alcohol, silky, creamy, with refreshing citrus like acidity and a lingering oaky-smoky-vanillish finish… Over the top for my expectations and budget. Cheers! — 3 months ago
This is a notably vibrant style of Muscadet with crisp acidity, loads of lemon, green apple, pear and melon. Despite being sur lie the wine has a very clean, lean feeling on the palate. Great with scallops — 2 years ago

Ahhhhh. 21 N Rhône. I will drink 12.5% Syrah all day. Glorious. Needed an hour in the decanter and then it slayed. Meaty, floral, and so so fresh. — a day ago
