This wine was enjoyed over three days. It had a beautiful golden hue. On the nose, scents of grilled lemon, mineral notes, and ripe pineapple emerged, which carried through to the flavors. The acidity was milder than three years ago, and while the fruit character seemed somewhat restrained initially, it improved over subsequent days. The wine had a relatively long finish, a silky texture, and a well-balanced, enjoyable profile.

This wine presents a red color with emerging brick tones. It exhibits some signs of maturity in both aroma and flavor, yet it is far from overripe. The palate is greeted with notes of black tea, dark berries, French herbs, and licorice. The tannins and alcohol are well-integrated, and the acidity is balanced. This wine offers a harmonious blend of maturity and freshness. Enjoy!

The bottle was consumed over several days. On the first day, I thought it was almost defective. No fruit, just acid and a funky smell. It improved with air and in the following days it just got better and better. Still a bit fiery and perhaps short on fruit, but I could at least confirm that it was a correct bottle and that I can understand and agree with the reviews I previously read about the wine.

Short note. 2 btls last 2023. Not as good as 2022 perhaps? Great wine anyway. Mineral, yeast etc. Long finish.

Brick-red hue. Relatively light. Aroma of ripe fruit, charcuterie, and spices. Balanced acidity, integrated tannins. Medium-length finish. Bang for the buck.

Consumed over five days. Brick-red color. Fantastic aroma of dark ripe cherries, violet, chocolate, and leather. The taste might not be as intense, but still good. A blend of maturity and freshness. Could have been a tad longer. There is still bite in the tannins, although they are well-integrated. There is still good acidity remaining. No need to panic.

The wine is fresh with balanced tannins, displaying notes of dark blue and red berries with a hint of maturity. There's also a herbal and spicy undertone, leading to a medium-length finish. Perhaps a slightly sharp alcohol presence.

This wine displays a deep, intense blue-purple color. The nose is filled with black currants, violets, and a presence of oak. On the palate, it boasts a refreshing acidity and a prolonged finish characterized by violet notes, complemented by well-integrated oak. However, the alcohol content is slightly on the high side.

Dense, dark blue-purple color. Aroma with distinct notes of black currants, followed by prominent oak influences, toasted nuances, chocolate, and tobacco. Subtle green undertones. Medium-bodied and fruity, with the oak characteristics standing out, complemented by a pleasant hint of coffee. Young.

Low-intensity blue-red color. A subtle rosemary spiciness in the aroma. The palate reveals notes of blueberries. However, the alcohol stands out, resulting in a pronounced, burning sensation, and contributing to an overall lack of balance. Additionally, there is a noticeable bitterness on the finish.

Still red with a hint of blue. Couldn't discern the brick hue. A budding maturity on the palate. Dark blue and red berries. The oak is starting to integrate but remains relatively noticeable with notes of chocolate, etc. Balanced acidity and tannins. Medium-length finish. It's evident that it's not a classic Rioja.

I had expected much more from this, even though it's a budget champagne. Thin in both aroma and taste. Unpleasant bitterness, flat, and a very short finish. There are so many better options in the same price range.

Gyllene färg. Direkt efter öppning endast en skum doft av gammal kompost och disktrasa. Med lite luft kom frukten fram i form av citrus och gula äpplen. Fanns kvar lite oxiderade toner, lite åt sherryhållet men de blev klart mer angenäma med luft. Fanns även smör i doften. I smaken fanns citrus och mineral. Bättre i smak än doft men är inte helt övertygad.

Medelintensiv blåröd färg. Inga direkta tegelnyanser. Doften är fruktig med en blandning av ung och mogen frukt. Körsbär, blåbär och choklad. Doftar mer Italien än Frankrike druvorna till trots. Fortfarande bra syra, något avrundade tanniner. Smaken är lång och noterna är liknande de jag fann i doften. Faten är väl integrerade. Håller säkert flera år till.

Lågintensivt röd i färgen med tegel i kanterna. Inledningsvis reduktiv karaktär i doften. Därefter kommer körsbär, unga och mogna, mörka jordgubbar, mineral, kakao, jord och en blommighet. I smaken framträder mest jordgubb och mineral. Medelfylligt, syran är nu balanserad. Förhållandevis lång smak där de mogna jordgubbarna är framträdande.
