This past Saturday night I went to friend’s house for dinner club and was amazed that 4 of the 6 wines he was pouring that evening were products from [...]
-
Color light yellow straw. Intense and delicate bouquet of ripe yellow apple and white flowers. Fruity taste and balanced. - Amber in color, with a honey, liquorice and tobacco nose. Complex palate with notes of coffee, honey and sultanas.
- Intense ruby red color with fine nose of blackberries and blackcurrant notes, balsamic and spicy hints. The wine display excellent acid structure, well balanced, elegant tannins. The impact in the mouth is velvety and persistent.
- Brilliant ruby red with a fresh fruity and flowery bouquet. Clean to the palate with fragrant sensations of ripe red fruit, violet and rose. Elegant and young, delicate in length and extremely drinkable
- Deep ruby red. On the nose you immediately have roasted coffee and spice aromas in harmony with subtle hints of black cherry and strawberry. As it opens the bouquet intensifies. In the mouth you are delighted with the return of the aromas and will taste a broad spectrum of tannins and minerals.
- Intense, Cardinal red with sparkling tonalities. Resolute bouquet, with trace scents of ripe plum and an undercurrent of mixed spices. Full flavor with long persistence.
- Intense red. Bouquet of ripe fruit with an undercurrent of spices (pepper). Flavorful, pleasing and elegant with good persistence.
- The color is delicate pink. The nose is fresh with hints of scented flowers ( geranium, pansy, peppermint) and citrus fruit appeal ( cedar, raspberry ). On the palate, the wine delivers lovely and sweet notes of cherries and strawberries. The freshness given by the right acidity stimulates the palate. The finish is clean and persistent.
- Pale straw in color with greenish reflections. The wine has a fresh and balsamic aroma with marked scents of vanilla and intense fruit concentration of plums, pineapples and apricots. Pleasant, elegant white wine which combines the classic fresh and mineral scents from Chianti with ample and fragrant fruit sensations. Enjoy now or leave it to age a bit. Best served slightly chilled.
- Pours with a tall lingering froth. Beautiful caramel, copper color. Wispy beige head. Complex smell. Aromas of sweet malts, spicy hops, wet hay, plum, brown sugar. Taste is complex too. Flavor of rich sweet malts, caramel. Lots of toffee. Full nectar with good carbonation. Hides the alcohol very well. A mild malty sweetness ensues as the werewolf attacks with its high abv. Nice chewy texture. Overall it has an earthy presence and finishes dry bittered nicely.
- Lots of character and a hint of booze induced warmth. Smooth, mellow and very well balanced. The caramel/honey sweetness really lingers too. The booze is well hidden and palatable. Clean but with a nice lingering buttery texture. Slick and a bit creamy taste in the finish. A definite buttery character in the flavor and the texture makes this brew go well with lobster.
- Brilliantly crystal clear. It's a golden honey color with little bubbles floating up. A light creamy head forms at first, then fades to small clumps of bubbles around. Starts with a light crisp lager like nose, with hints of honey and sweet malts. Digger deeper reveals the slightest hints of European malts, touches of alcohol sweetness, almost Belgian candy sugar, and quite a bit like a Belgian triple.
- This blonde dopple pours a bright clear orange color with a quickly dissipating head of big white bubbles that leaves nothing...no ring...no lacing. Nose of apples, light citrus orange, caramel malts, and a lot of purge grain alcohol booze. Flavors are caramel coated apple meets a light citrus orange or mandarin, followed by a large grain note on the back with searing alcoholic warmth. An interesting take on a blonde dopplebock. Strong warmth from the booze, sweet aftertaste, and smooth slick mouth feel.
- Clean, vinous, fruity with scents of cherry, black cherry and prune. Velvety palate, delicate and sweet tannins, full-bodied and rounded.
- Intense ruby red in color. Toasty hints of vanilla and chocolate, flavors of violet and cherries on the nose. Velvety texture on the palate with notes of warm spices and red fruit. Great minerality, long lasting ending.
- Bright Ruby. Stunning concentration of fragrances. Its ethereal fruity, flowery and balsamic notes strike for their fresh elegance. Notes of cherry, sour cherry, black cherry, morello cherry, violet, mint, aniseed, cinnamon. All its splendor is expressed in the palate with an extraordinary balance between the concentration of acidity and elegance. The typical notes of red fruit extended by the sweet tannins and mineral sensations return. Clean, elegant, lingering, delicate.
- Bright and lively ruby. Enfolding and sweet aromas of cherry, morello cherry, violet and strawberry harmoniously blend with hints of tobacco, vanilla, white chocolate and Mediterranean spices. The mineral and spicy fruit tone of the Brolio terroir is unmistakable to the nose. An immediate freshness opens to warm, full and rich tactile sensations to the taste. Ripe red fruit and the spices join in a long embrace of finely toasted notes. Elegant, it promises an interesting evolution in the years.
- Brilliant ruby red with a fresh fruity and flowery bouquet. Clean to the palate with fragrant sensations of ripe red fruit, violet and rose. Elegant and young, delicate in length and extremely drinkable
- Intense and full after-nose forwardness: vinous and flowery with notes ranging from geranium to rose fruity with strong scents of black cherries; nutty and spicy going from pepper to cinnamon, chocolate and vanilla. Full-bodied and structured palate revealing a medium acidity which is never aggressive or astringent. Very long and warm finish.
- Pours a clear amber Color, with a small Head that dont stick around. Aroma is caramel, and Booze. The taste is very sweet, Malt, Caramel, and Booze. You get almost a sweet grape taste in the finish. With 15% ABV its a hard hitter for sure.
- Orange-gold. Smell is of rich full caramel malt and well straw. Smooth and well balanced, with just enough malt and hops to add a fruity taste. Alcohol flavor is not prevalent despite 12% ABV, almost is not noticeable until you're through. Really good with BQ pork or pulled pork.
