Wiener Gemischter Satz Mauer 2018, Zahel, Vienna, Austria

Great value wine. Pear, gooseberry, minerals and white pepper.






Franschhoek Cellars Reserve Chardonnay 2018, Cape Coast, South Africa

Lemon, a bit of orange in the background, oak that hasn't quite married yet. This cost me 149 SEK but really tasted like a 99 SEK wine.







Chateau Ste Michelle, Indian Wells Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, Columbia Valley, USA

This was very Bordeaux-esque. Blackcurrant, cedar, tobacco, some plum. Very tannic right now so try it in three years to get your bang for the buck.

Dark and red fruits. Meaty and minerality. Very long finish.

Prager Ried Hinter Der Burg Federspiel 2018, Wachau, Austria
