Wijnen met een 'goede pers'

Leuke wijn voor als je eens iets anders wilt proberen. Fris, opwekkend, geurig, zuiver, vrij mild maar niet zonder pit, en wat vooral fijn is: deze Furmint is heel flexibel aan tafel en kan zelfs behoorlijk complexe gerechten aan.

Wijnmaker Enrico di Giulio maakt deze Gironia 2018 nu heel anders dan tien jaar geleden. Door een langere schilinweking vooraf en rijping op de lie na de gisting is de wijn rijper en complexer geworden.

This is a fantastic, rich prosecco with cooked-mango, apple and breaddough character. It’s full-bodied and layered. Dry. Delicious finish with lots going on.

Clean white fruit aromas, not terribly complex but very pleasant. The palate reveals tasty flavors and a long aftertaste, leaving an almost salty sensation in the finish. It transcends its price.

It's minty and has a clear Bordeaux twist, even in a more Mediterranean year like 2017. It's dense and glossy, with abundant fine tannins and pungent flavors.

This is polished and sleek, elegant rather than powerful, with very fine tannins and a fine thread. It's still varietal and recognizable as Mazuelo/Cariñena, one of the few pure bottlings in Rioja.

It's floral and perfumed with a touch of dark spices and clove, some notes of licorice and an earthy touch. It's medium to full-bodied with soft tannins and a velvety texture, finishing dry and long.

It's quite smoky and balsamic, with integrated oak but still showing some toasted notes and ripe fruit without excess, a mixture of red and black berries. It has good balance.

Lilac, chocolate box and stone fruit hints with warm blackcurrants, red and black cherries, cranberries, cedar, tobacco leaf and dusty earth.

Dried flowers, autumn leaves and cinnamon stick notions over a core of crushed red cherries, dried cranberries, apricot, underbrush, red currant and black cherries with a super spicy undercurrent.

Fresh and focused, this is beautifully constructed. Feeling solid and bright at the same time, this is a little spicy for Avesso and feels tightly wound. There seems to be some potential here.

Tart pineapple, citrus, melon, white flowers, and a kiss of honeyed minerality, it hits the palate with medium-bodied richness, a vibrant, focused texture, good acidity, and a clean, crisp finish.

It has the purity of fruit, balance, and length that's shared by all of these Chardonnay from Ramey. It's a great introduction into the wines of this estate.

With medium to full-bodied richness, terrific balance, and supple, elegant texture, it’s a great example of the quality of the wines now coming from this appellation, as well as this estate.

With beautifully integrated acidity, the fresh, pure, layered character of the vintage, and a great finish, this is one heck of a Côtes du Rhône Blanc to enjoy over the coming 2-4 years.

With remarkable purity as well as a crisp, clean finish, it’s terrific today, yet I suspect it will also evolve nicely for 3-4 years, if you’re so inclined.

This beauty has a juicy, medium-bodied, and vibrant style that carries lots of nectarine, orange blossom, and honeyed citrus aromas and flavors to go with a medium-bodied, elegant style on the palate.

With full-bodied richness on the palate, it has an incredible sense of purity and finesse in its tannins and texture, flawless balance, and a great, great finish.

Beautiful notes of kirsch, licorice, toasted spices, and flowery incense all flow to a medium to full-bodied 2018 that has polished tannins and a great finish.

Redelijke kleur, hechte viogniergeur, opvallend sappig in aanzet, bijna wulps van dikte en smaakaroma’s, overduidelijk viognier, krachtige inhoud, goede lengte, stevige maaltijdwijn.

Hechte diepe kleur, rustieke geurimpressies, wild, veel zwart fruit, mooi gerijpt, stevige kruidigheid, goede structuur, lange nagalm in smaak, winterse maaltijdwijn bij vlees en wild.

Light-bodied and crisp in style, offering tropical aromas of pineapple and passion fruit and grapefruit-like acidity. Straightforward, refreshing Sauvignon for drinking young.

Aromas of red berry, baking spice and botanical herbs lead the nose. Tangy and delicious, the smooth, easy-drinking palate doles out sour cherry, pomegranate and nutmeg set against crisp acidity.

There is a perceptible hint of sweetness but plenty of plush, concentrated fruit to absorb it, and the subtle tannic grip is most welcome.

Un sauvignon classique de l'appellation, cadré avec soin. Sa belle maturité de fruit lui confère une rondeur gourmande.

Toasted hazelnut, honeyed brioche, almond paste aromas on latest NV sparkling, partly oaked, includes splash chardonnay. Clean, bonedry (extra brut) styling, baked apple richness & breadth from late-harvested chenin dosage.

Plush butterscotch & ripe pear in 19, from a combo of separately fermented (part natural) & -matured parcels. Light oaking adds toasty breadth, with clean limy farewell.

Ripe Golden Delicious apple with hint of almond on 19. Ripe & rounded, aged in various formats of older oak, just enough acidity for balanced enjoyment.

Flavoursome, zesty return to form in 19 shows more fruit depth than drier 18. Green fig & grassy notes balanced by bright acidity on a creamy lees substrate.

Grootse wijn voor een vriendenprijs. Lieflijk wit vol bloesemgeur, plus kruiden en beheerst wat kittige ondeugd.

Al in de zeventiende eeuw was het Loire-gebiedje Haut Poitou geliefd bij Nederlandse wijnhandelaren om z'n fijne cabernet franc. Opgewekt roodfruitig, slank, met de beet van de betere bordeaux.

The wine proves nicely balanced and playful on the palate driven by juicy fruits and leaves an intense and animating feel in the zesty, herbal, smoky, and spicy finish.

It proves quite aromatic and herbal on the nose as clean and fragrant notes of gooseberry, cassis, underbrush, and green apple emerge from the glass in a way not unlike a Scheurebe would do.

Crushed rocks, slate, chalk and citrus accents are some of the many nuances that emerge with a bit of time in the glass. This release is fabulous.

Kirsch, red plum, rose petal and spice give the wine striking aromatic intensity and lovely inner perfume. The red grapes seem especially expressive in this release.

Lemon confit, white flowers, mint and white pepper lend aromatic brilliance to this lithe, super-finessed Blanc des Blancs.
