A. Bartholomaus & E. Catena Alma Negra Mendoza 2013 Deep purple color. Aromas of black berries, smoke, spices, tree bark, coffee and cedar wood.

Marchesi Antinori Tignanello Toscana 2008 Dark garnet color. Powerful nose of black berries, smoke, earth, spices and oak notes. It’s deep and complex. Silky mouthfeel that completely coats the palate with its fruit flavors, spices, rich oak notes, but balanced and fine with is impressive. So long and tasty finish. An iron fist in a […]
Weingut Pittnauer Zweigelt Heideboden 2013 Medium dark ruby color. Nose of small sweet berries, spices and a nice green note.

Les Deux Clochers Saint-Pourçain 2013 Light ruby color. Aromas of crushed strawberries and field berries. Fresh and inviting.

Parés Baltà Cava Brut Light gold color with fine bubbles. Not very intense on the palate, it still shows lemon notes with limestone minerality and green apples flavors. Good acidity level and length that brings up the rather thin mid palate. Not very complex, but fresh with an high drinkability level ! Among the best […]

Argiano Rosso di Montalcino 2013 Light and translucid garnet color. A little green at first, aromas of cherries and clay will come with air. Chewiness and good acidity level pairs with Morello cherries, small red berries on a short finish. Still, I like that lighter style very food friendly. Good+ (88) Made of 100% Sangiovese. […]
Cosme Palacio Rioja 2011 Dark red cherry color. Nose where oak leads the way with aromas of coffee, vanilla, caramel and spices notes. More expressive with air. Quite harsh at first on the palate at bottle opening, air will be of a good use here too. Then flavors of blueberries, mulberries, spices, cappuccino and vanilla. […]
