Quentin4's Review:

Spicy and aromatic on the nose. The palate is muscular, yet not overwhelming. Superb acidity and silky tannins. This wine will last for a long time!QChttp://www.questionofwine.com

Quentin4's Review:

I have tasted the whole range of Azelia Barolos upon release in Arpil 2008 and Margheria is no exception to the excellence of Luigi Scavino's work. The wine is opulent & shows superb aromates on the nose. Liquorice, blackcurrant, leathery style at first it continues on the mid palate with plums and more violet. Present tannins with a beautiful menthol fresh finish.QChttp://www.questionofwine.blogspot.com

Quentin4's Review:

Deep rose colour. Intense and rich on the nose, with plenty of candied aromas. "Zesty" on the palate, this rose is a classic Tavel, with a full bodied structure, good presence of alcohol (14.5%) and great flavours of strawberries, raspberries and roses. The finish is soft and long.Drink this wine well chilled for optimum pleasure.QChttp://www.questionofwine.com

Quentin4's Review:

Fresh and quite intense on the nose, it has a nice perfumed bouquet. On the palate the wine is well balanced with subtle acidity and a lovely round and aromatic style. Flavours of peach, white flowers and citrus, it is a perfect wine for lunch time.QChttp://www.questionofwine.blogspot.com

Quentin4's Review:

This wine is a blend of Viognier, Roussane, Marsanne, Grenache Blanc, Picpoul, Bourboulenc and Clairette. Clear and light lemon colour. Young and intense on the nose, it is a complex mix of almond, caramelised sugar and there is a good presence of the alcohol. (14%) 25% of the wine is fermented in oak barrel, which gives a lively and complex palate of white peach, violette and apricot. The toasted wood flavours are well integrated and give a round finish.QChttp://www.questionofwine.blogspot.com

Quentin4's Review:

Light yellow straw colour. The nose is round with aromas of chestnuts and toasted wood. On the palate, the wine is well balance with a good acidity and well integrated wood flavours of vanilla. A medium bodied chardonnay that develop some roasted oak character and an almost lemon-sweet finish. Very enjoyable indeed.QChttp://www.questionofwine.blogspot.com

Quentin4's Review:

Dark ruby colour. I have tasted this wine along the other four 1st great growth and Haut-Brion seems rounder with more vanilla extract. On the palate it is lightly spicy and presents flavours of balckberries, dark cherry and toasted wood. The acidity is still high but well integrated with the fruits. The wine posses great balance with soft tannins and lingering finish.QChttp://www.questionofwine.blogspot.com

Quentin4's Review:

I have tasted this wine after one hour of decanting. Dark Ruby colour. Shy on the nose at first, it came to life after a few minutes in the glass. Plum, cherry and a rich texture it was well balanced but might need some more time to develop. The palate was elegant and the tannins not overwhelming. I am convince this Chateau Latour will have much more to say in the next 5 years. (tasted in August 2008)QChttp://www.questionofwine.blogspot.com

Quentin4's Review:

Ruby colour. The nose was made of a large aromatic bouquet. On the palate, the acidity was a little high at first, once settled in the glass for a few minutes, the wine start to show some exceptional flavours of cassis, wood and roasted nuts. It is much more balanced than the first time I tried it. It is now developing slowly a mineral style which gives a wonderful texture to the wine. A classic Lafite. Beautiful.QChttp://www.questionofwine.blogspot.com

Quentin4's Review:

Deep purple colour. The nose is very impressive! Truffles, coffee and liquorice, it was all over... On the palate, even more impressive with great finesse and yet power. Plenty of black and red berries, more truffles and a rich texture. The wine is full bodied and gives a beautiful long length. Can be enjoyed already, but will go for quite some time! A great wine!QChttp://www.questionofwine.blogspot.com
