Finish: those same notes persist, but blood orange makes a late appearance, complete with its zest. Comments: peat and Port always make us a bit nervous, but I must admit this one has been handled beautifully. It even holds its own after the lovely sherry from our Chinese friends. SGP...
Posted on December 30, 2024 by mcginnessalex Sokol BlosserEvolution RieslingColumbia Valley, Oregon NECTAR WINE STYLE Take in a nose-full of bright tropical fruit, citrus, and a hint of floral. This wine is bursting with mouth watering notes of lychee, lime, pineapple and peach. Analysis: ...
Mouth: very good! Starts citrusy and even rather nervous, goes on with zesty tropical fruits (passion fruits), and gets then more buttery, as well as more peppery. A little oil as well (grape pips) and then peppered blood oranges and green walnuts. Finish: medium, with good ginger and ...
While this lacks some stuffing, there’s plenty of interest here and it seems quite its own wine. The nose gives up little on opening, slowly releasing iron and blood aromas mixed with prettier florals. These contradictions are the essence of the variety for me, so it’s nice to see them...
blood—the most extroverted of the vintages from 2015 through 2021. They will age for many years”. A number of excellent US wines (not just California but Oregon too) are in this report too, and more will follow in future reports. Relative to Italy, we just wish to point out how ...

I did another 3 minutes of broil, and still the meat was really rare when I ate it (note blood-rare juice coming out of the left meat loaf in the photo). So I’ve upped the baking time to 9 minutes and 3+ minutes broiling. Do check the internal temp if you can – it should ...
Beef blood aroma precedes a ‘raw’ palate. There is something nice about this wine, a freshness, that sets it apart from the preceding entries, but it ends with somewhat drying tannins. 86-88? (Chateau Tournefeuille) More austerity but not the worst here. The nose is actually rather sweet...
A big, fruity nose with lots of black fruit. In the mouth it is really nice and ripe with interesting portlike flavours. Big tannins on the finish. Very Good/Very Good Indeed. 2002 Tinto, Quinta de Ventozelo, Douro(RRP £7.49) ...
“clones”, as had always been done. But when they started vinifying the grapes of each vineyard separately, they quickly realized that each “clone” gave outstanding wines; even better, that each had something unique about it, and merited to be bottled on its own. That’s exactly what ...
