Guy Breton Régnié 2013 Foggy ruby color. Nose of red berries, earth, dried flowers and this typical nature scent. About the same on the palate in a discret flavor intensity as it is not a monster of concentration and the nature profile of the wine is bringing the fruit up instead of overpowering it. Tasty […]
Hacienda Araucano Carmenere Reserva Colchagua 2013 Dark purple color. Nose of black berries, spices, bitter chocolate and grilled greeen bell pepper. Silky mouthfeel that covers some strenght and bitterness, all classical Carmenere caracteristics. May not be long, exactly like the remaining time before grilling red meat dishes on the BBQ in the upcoming warmer season. I’m hungry […]
G.D. Vajra Petracine Riesling Langhe 2010 Light yellow color with green hue. The wine is screaming its variety of Riesling on the nose with citrus fruit and pine tree aromas. Bright, fresh, dry, salty on the palate with an almost rocky feel and a touch of bitterness on the finish. Feels young and will probably […]
Château Vallon des Brumes Bordeaux 2011 Dark cherry color. Nose of small black berries, spices ans smoke. Smooth on the palate with a touch of Bordeaux classic structure and flavors on par with those from the nose. Good acidity, not as powerful as Bordeaux usually are, probably due to the 2011 vintage. Drinks well from […]
Georges Descombes Brouilly 2014 How could I describe my apprecciation for this wine other than… liked it a LOT! Fruit flavor loaded, fine spices, amazing freshness and it drinks so easily. To my palate, even better than the same wine from 2013 vintage and that one was my favorite Gamay from Beaujolais available in SAQ stores in […]
Pierre-Marie Chermette Fleurie Poncié 2014 Dense ruby color. Nose of red berries, dried flowers, spices and old wood. Intense palate, very young feel with cherry pit, flowers and lots of spices that adds a little bite on the finish. Medium acidity level, a little rustic and harsh for now, ageing shows even if not from […]
Pierre-Yves Colin-Morey Saint-Aubin 1er Cru La Chatenière 2013 Medium dark gold color. Complex nose of grilled pineapples, grapefruit, pear, spices, oak and just a hint of salty water breeze. Flavor profile is about the same with the addition of chalk, lime in a round mouthfeel that still gives room for the acidity to show. This is young or […]
Michele Chiarlo Le Orme Barbera d’Asti 2013 Dark ruby color. Nose of black and red berries, lot of spices notes, some earth and stays fresh. Fruit loaded on the palate with again spices and a touch of bitterness. Acidity brings freshness and paired with its structure, it allows this wine to be paired with a […]
Château Tour Saint-Vincent Cru Bourgeois Médoc 2009 Dark violet color. Nose of dark berries, earth, cedar wood, smoke and bitter chocolate. Very “Merlot” style even if this is not the dominant grape in the blend. About the same flavor profil on the palate, medium silkyness, quite long, concentrated, feels young and calls for a roasted […]
