Tasting Notes of Wines around the World
On the nose at first meaty, but after a while some cherries and menthol notes come forward. In the mouth smooth and well balanced. The finish leans toward dry fruits. The aftertaste is pleasant, although it doesn’t last very long.
This red wine that matures for one year in French oak is produced under the Peza denomination. Continue reading “Domaine Paterianakis 2014”
Fresh nose of green apple, lime and melon. In the mouth it displays a pronounced acidity and citrusy flavours. The finish is a bit prickly, but pleasant. The aftertaste is longer than most wines I tasted while spending this year summer holiday in Crete. Continue reading “Theon Dora White 2017”
Citrus flavour like lemon and grapefruit dominates both on the nose and in the mouth. Beside the addition of some marzipan, I find the aromatic profile, as well as the tactile sensations of this wine, rather simple. Some more richness comes out in the aftertaste, where the citrus sensations linger for quite a while. Continue reading “CaSal di Serra 2016”
On the nose pleasant aroma of peach and lime, with a freshness that continues in the mouth, where it finishes with a flavour of green apple. No much aftertaste, beside the refreshing sensation.
This wine is made 100% with Vidiano, an ancient white grape variety indigenous of Crete that some years ago almost got extinguished. Continue reading “Vorinos White 2016”
On the nose boisé and earthy. It reminds of antique furniture and clay pot. In the mouth it still displays a good acidity, solid tannins and a decent aftertaste. Unfortunately, the overall sensory experience can be defined as fascinating and intriguing, but not really as pleasant. Neither in the bouquet nor in the savour. Continue reading “Chateau Figeac 1982”
On the nose, vinous with plum and sour cherry flavours. In the mouth, lean, acidic and slightly astringent, with a drying, sour finish. Not much aftertaste.
Lagrein is an ancient grape variety that is most probably native to Alto Adige, the northernmost wine producing region of Italy. It can deliver full bodied wines with a deep and dense color. Continue reading “Cantina Terlan Lagrein 2016”
Lean and clean nose, with hints of fresh green foliage. In the mouth, crispy and mineral, with a finish dominated by citrus fruits that last through a fairly long aftertaste.
Greco di Tufo is one of the three DOCG of Irpinia, in the Campania region of Italy. Continue reading “Greco di Tufo Feudi di San Gregorio 2017”
The nose is dominated by an aroma of apricot. In the mouth the wine displays a velvety texture and a light, but fairly long, aftertaste of the same sweet apricot first perceived on the nose.
Overall, this Jurançon Sec produced by Cave de Gan delivers a simple but very pleasant experience. At 7 EUR a bottle in Paris it offers an attractive price-quality relationship. Continue reading “Cuvée du Baptême 2016”
On the nose, subtle flavour of yellow fruits, like peach and ananas, vegetal notes and flint scent. In the mouth, some more freshness would be welcomed. The experience finishes on a slightly bitter note, which accompanies the aftertaste as well. Continue reading “Livio Felluga Friulano 2016”
On the nose this Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze DOCG presents the apple and pear aroma (or white peach, depending on your point of reference) typical of Glera, the main grape variety used to produce Prosecco (at least 85% of the blend).
The apple-pear marriage is apparent in the mouth as well, where the high acidity is nicely balanced by the effervescence. Continue reading “Oro Puro”
