Points : 8,5/10 Price : 100 TL at Milano Gurme This wonderful Turkish Sauvignon Blanc seems about the same as the 2016 Vintage. It’s quite hard to find a difference without tasting both vintages at once. Nevertheless I’d say that this year I’ve found even more flavours and it remains one of my favourite Sauvignon…
Yanık Ülke Gewürztraminer 2016
Points : 7/10 Price : 80 TL Yanık Ülke Winery is not afraid of experimenting and being the only one to use grapes such as Gewürztraminer here.

Gürbüz Trakya Shiraz 2016
Points : 8,5/10 Price : 90 TL Akın Gürbüz proves here that a wine critic can make a fantastic winemaker.

On the palate,…
Sevilen late harvest muscat 2013
Points : 8,5/10 Price : 130 TL Big respect for Sevilen with this beautiful Muscat! The exact name of the grape is « Bornova Misket » which is grown near Izmir. The nose is fantastic with aromas of lemon, mandarine, orange blossom and honeysuckle. It’s like a perfume aroma! This wine is rich and concentrated…
Arcadia A Cabernet Franc 2015
Points : 8/10 Price : 130 TL On the nose, strawberry jam, crushed gravel, roasted pepper, liquorice and dried herbs A bit too early to taste it, tannins are hard on the palate but the acidity is high so this is a wine you can keep for 10 years minimum. Flavours are black raspberry, black…
