Da Ne

La Spinetta Nebbiolo 2013

Not your typical nebbiolo. Packed with a wide array of fresh fruit aromas, flowers and cured meat with an almost juicy acidity. Something to seek out if you're into trying new things, and would be cool at a blind tasting. This house's entry level wines in piedmont and tuscany (il gentile di casanova or nero di casanova) are must-haves in my book.

Marco De Bartoli Vignaverde 2015

Fresh lemon and hints of white fruit complement the highly mineral and saline character of this grillo. Good crisp white, worth a go for those looking for alternatives for SB's, assyrtiko, albarino's or the many neutral and crisp italian whites that we are accustomed to.

Château Yvonne Saumur 2014, Saumur

Fantastic samur with a lactic character, good minerality. Great chenin, like so many other recent arrivals at the saq at this price point. Loire valley cab franc and chenin have consistently bringing a little bit more to the table than other classic regions/appellations as of late.

Henry Marionnet La Pucelle De Romorantin 2015

Légèrement hebdomadaire, avec des fruits de verger et un soupçon d'acidité d'orange et de bouche. Profil romorantin typique

Château Porto Carras Côtes De Meliton 2006

Des arômes merveilleusement évolués de tabac, de vanille, de fruits mûrs en cuir. Récitant d'un certain style de rioja, avec un bord de cabernet. Une bonne structure reste fidèle aux arômes du palais. Très bon jus

Domaine Agnès Paquet Bourgogne Pinot Noir 2015

Lumière et bordeaux rouge facile, difficile de penser à tout ce que comparer à ce prix de la région.

Domaine Les Béates 2015

C'est boire magnifiquement. Caractère typique de viande, fruité / fruits noirs / herbes accompagnée d'une belle fraîcheur vive. Il a du poids, mais son dynamisme le rend presque parfait

Domaine De Bellivière Les Rosiers Jasnière 2015, Jasnières

Another great chenin from the loire. Lactic and waxy, honeyed and mineral, white fruit with creamy citrus notes. Top notch, the imports from this region continue to impress.

Domaine Gourt De Mautens 2012

Big southern Rhone wine with all the power one would expect, has complexity but lacks any distinctive character that would have me purchase it. This is quite closed and will surely improve, but did not blow me away (it may have at half the price).

Domaine D'henri Chablis Fourchaume Premier Cru 2014
