Tanins

Amphorae

Makura Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

This blend of CS, Merlot and Syrah aged beautifully. Tanins are super soft and velvety. A full body, thick and powerful red, powerful nose and aftertaste. Acidity and sweetness balanced perfectly. — 21 days ago

Château L'Evangile

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 2012

Wow. Kaleidoscopic wine. Dark cherries, dark chocolate, tobacco, roses and violets, a precise, pure, elegant and complex wine that is great now but will stand the test of time. Tanins are polished as can be and the wine is long and same time subtle. Great stuff. Highly recommended. Get one bottle and see for yourself. — 3 years ago

Tenuta dell'Ornellaia

Le Serre Nuove dell'Ornellaia Bolgheri Rosso Merlot Blend 2013

First day pnp. Nose stil bit closed. Tanins still very present. Solid wine. For now 89. Lets see tomorrow. Second day a bit smoother than day 1. Tannins not that dominant anymore. Good wine, point. No reason to raise the score. — 4 years ago

Domaine des Terres Dorées (Jean-Paul Brun)

Côte de Brouilly Gamay 2018

Beautiful, brilliant light ruby ​​red color. The first nose is intensely on aromas of small red fruits. On the palate, it is delicately fleshy, structured, muscular and elegant. A natural wine, with a real dense chew of fresh and juicy fruit. Open 30 minutes before tasting. The tannins are soft but persistent. To drink in 2/3 years.

Belle robe brillante rouge rubis léger. Le premier nez est intensément sur des arômes de petits fruits rouges. En bouche c’est délicatement charnu, structuré, musclé et élégant. Un vin nature, avec une vraie mâche dense de fruits frais et juteux. À ouvrir 30 minutes avant dégustation. Les tanins sont doux mais persistants. Devrait gagner en profondeur d’ici 2/3 ans.

Bodegas Faustino

Gran Reserva Faustino I Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2010

Tasted at the winery, they are going through a renovation of the visitor center. Kindly, we were greeted and offered to taste the 2010.
Color mild intensity, medium body, a little watery. Nose with cherry fruit notes. Palate not dense, tanins still need to rest.

Château Lafleur

Pomerol Red Bordeaux Blend 1996

The cork was disintegrating and the bottle was not entirely off but not as we remember this wine. Great fruit and tanins underneath what tasted as a very evolved and somewhat “cooked” Lafleur. Hoping our last couple of bottles will be better than this one… — 4 years ago
