Vintage 2021 | much colour, some almonds in an introverted smell, prominent bitters in taste, vanilla, gods structure and acidity. Again, I did not recognise Chenin Blanc from South Africa. Many wine varieties are growing towards each other… Good effort. — a day ago
Vintage 2020 | dark coloured, cherries in smell, nougat in taste, juicy and good structure. Good effort. — 3 days ago
Vintage 2023 | Chardonnay to love, flint in smell, stinky (love or hate), good body and structure, long aftertaste. Refined minerality. — 3 days ago
Vintage 2021 | White Rioja can have many expressions. This virus/malvasia Rioja has a yellow colour, fresh aromatic smell withal and nougat, fine pleasurable taste with rondeur. Good effort. — 6 hours ago
Vintage 2015 | the big bubbles from the mousse are in fact the only thing why I doubted for a moment if the wine in my glass would be champagne. But the yeast in taste, apple and high acidity was very convincing to me. Chardonnay, Pinot noir and Pinot Meunier. Happens to me made at the doorstep of the King in England 🫢 — a day ago
Vintage 2021 | the smell with strawberry is appealing and much better than taste — 3 days ago
Vintage 2016 | Reliable. Three more years in cellar gives the wine no more depth. Paired with Kung Pao chicken. — a day ago
Vintage 2024 | a jolly lovely white wine with lots of fruit: pear, melon, juicy taste. I liked it although I did not recognise the Albariño grape. — a day ago
Vintage 2021 | High end Chardonnay to adore. A very broad spectrum of impressions in smell, citrus, apple, almond, good balance and that appealing swallow-factor. Vines up to 78 years old. Very nice. — 3 days ago

Vintage 2021 | light colour, cherries in taste and smell, a bit rough in taste. Nebbiolo true to type. — 6 hours ago
