Sainsbury's Taste The Difference

El Enemigo

Mendoza Malbec 2017

Vintage 2017 | sultry, chocolate, licorice, charmer. Mocca in taste makes the difference with Cahors. Both tasted blind. — 4 days ago

Very tasty. Sainsbury's taste the difference. Went very well with ice-cream — 3 years ago

Château Lassalle

Graves Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Vintage 2012 | Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon vieilles vignes. 12 months barrel aging. A dramatic difference in day 1 (pop and pour with a stew) and day 2. Solid decent Bordeaux in day 1 with nice fruit but a bit stubborn in taste. Now on day 2 beautiful vanilla and cherries, silk taste, with a lot of charm. Beautiful aged wine, still potential to age further. — 4 years ago

Feudi di San Gregorio

Serpico Irpinia Aglianico 2003

Oak, black currant, matured black fruits aroma, splendid! Fruity with rich taste that is different from 2 years ago of same vintage. Still have sourness with sweetness. And earthy, mushroom etc. complexity. This is a feature for this wine. Not only 2 years difference but also the history to 2020 would create that good flavor. 2003 @2800, tatong - XH, 201002-201027 — 4 years ago

Domaine Pascal Cotat

Les Monts Damnés Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc 2022

9.1

I know that this should be aged some time but had my brother in law visiting and he is a SB fan. Pulled this out of the cellar for him. Typical SB profile, balanced and a nice round creamy moutfeel. But other than that: I didn't taste the difference between this and a 15€ supermarket sauvignon blanc. Supposedly this is the top of Sancerre.... Maybe complexity will develop in a couple of years time but for now underwhelmed 🫣 — 9 months ago

Château Lafleur du Roy

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2009

It takes time to bring out real taste. 1st day , it’s difficult to find the difference to 2017, but 2nd day, clearly different, vintage taste. Much smooth. Gentle. Mushroom. A bit spicy.2009 @2400, Kping -, 210702-210717 — 4 years ago

Poggio Morino

Morellino di Scansano 2018

Delicious. Difference from smell to taste is drastic. Red fruits and fruit forward, essentially zero tannins — 4 years ago

Austin Hope

Les Rouillères Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil Cabernet Franc 2019

Vintage 2019 | a favorite producer of mine. 100% Cabernet franc, vines 25 a 40 years old. Bio wine. It is so much fun to taste the difference between Saint Nicolas de Bourgueil and for example Saumur Champigny. Pop and pour. Frivolous raspberry bouquet, gains expression with aeration. It’s not the power that catches the eye, but finesse and elegance. Medium weight. Lovely now, paired with ostrich stew and mixed vegetables from the oven. Happy. — 3 years ago
