Wine-scores

“Evaluate a wine is something very subjective and, every palate is different. Perfection is something very personal, that’s why I rarely give a 100 Point score. And in the end the comment is more important. That’s also the reason I like to follow a wine several times, particularly during its first 2-3 years when it often changes the most and the consumer needs guidance.”

90	1	Abremundos - Octava Alta	2011				Mendoza	Red	Argentina	Cabernet Franc, Malbec			Oui		gestion.contable@monteviejo.com.ar; marketing@monteviejo.com.ar				20473	Larsson	Youthful with a very dark and inky colour. Nose is also really youthful it is rather showing off primary fruit. Slight hint of roasted oak in the background, but quite discreet with some spicy and peppery notes. Palate has a medium weight I would say. It is a wine with a high level of ripeness, so the fruit is rather on the dark side like; cherry, plum or dark cherry, plum, blackberry. Fine pepperiness there and quite mellow extraction. There is a fine level of tannin for sure, but quite well integrated at this stage. Good freshness, quite long finish. With those peppery, spicy notes. So it starts out quite bold and ripe and it finishes on that fresh and spicy side. I don't really pick up any oak on the taste. Good level of acidity as well, because it obviously feels like a quite warm climate with all that ripe fruit, but well balanced. I would call it with a fine drinkability for today, however, it will gain far more complexity from a few more years in the cellar.	24/09/2015	ewem-LRH8Zc	Dark Cherry, Plum, Pepper

84	1000	Felsner - Vordernberg	2011				Niederosterreich	White	Austria	Grüner Veltliner			Oui		office@weingut-felsner.at	02735/ 5521		Weinhandel Felsner	4944	Larsson	Young and pale; notes of citrus, green apple and cucumber; light palate, fresh and crisp with a zesty finish.	01/03/2013			4945	Del Monego	89	Bright, golden yellow with green hue.

86	10000	Château Félines	2015		Minervois La Liviniere		Languedoc/Roussillon	Red	France	Grenache, Syrah			Oui						27149	Larsson	Dark ruby red colour. Sweet nose, floral with jammed red fruit some oak and gingerbread spices. Medium bodied palate, still a bit tannic with an herbal spiciness, sour cherry and a medium to long finish.	19/12/2017
86	10001	Château Félines - Réserve	2010		Minervois La Liviniere		Languedoc/Roussillon	Red	France				Oui						19835	Larsson	Very dark inky core, very youthful colour, still with a hint of blue purple. The nose is also fairly youthful, with a lot of primary fruits there, crushed berries, black berries. Good concentration, good density, it still appears a bit young, just like the colour and the nose; but it’s showing a good structure, I think the tannins are starting to integrate. It’s a fairly high level of extraction, so you obviously need to wait a little bit for this level of drinkability. It has a medium towards long finish, that keeps lingering for a while, and I think the oak is also well integrated; but still with a little bit of tannic presence. Not something we need to rush to drink, but rather wait for. However, if you like to have something with a bit of bite with that nice piece of meat, put it in a decanter 30 minutes before serving it, and it should drink well.	08/04/2015	lnfaoYigDPE	Crushed Berries, Tannin, High Extraction
