Gérard Bertrand

Gris Blanc Vin de Pays d'Oc Rosé 2020

N: tastes like the leaves of a strawberry with a hint of medicine. Feels like freshly mowed grass in the nose. Texture feels like vodka (very dense but clear alcohol, almost evaporates while you drink it). Smells like inside of a mini van for a mom with 7 kids but she makes them all vegan. 9.4
J: light fruity aromatics, fruity not overly dry, hints of berries. 9.0

Freixenet

Carta Nevada Brut Cava Macabeo-Xarel-lo-Parellada

J: smells like warm honey. Tastes sweet with hints of green apple and maybe lemon? Overall love it! 9.5
N: it smells like syrup that you left on hot asphalt for half a day. If I had to describe the smell I’d say it was fungal. Like sweet but dangerous. Smell wise not it. Tastes like bad fruit juice -which is better than most good wines. 9.0

J. B. Becker

Wallufer Berg Bildstock trocken Riesling 2011

A high-acid, mouth-puckering assault on the palate. Tightly wound even with a decant, I can’t imagine this on a pop n pour. Layers of mineral & tart fruit; hint of petrol comes almost as a respite from the onslaught. Ok maybe I’m slightly exaggerating. Cool wine. — 4 years ago

Viña Casablanca

Nimbus Single Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc 2020

N: does not make me regret my decision every time I take a drink. Briefly feels like marines army crawling down my throat but then they hit a river. Mostly pleasant. Tastes like the skin of a white grape. Appealing but not really. Still wine but underperforms my sadness gauge. 9.6
J: light and a bit tart. Not overly dry. Very smooth on the tongue. Light white grape and citrus flavors. 9.4
