Points : 4/10 Price : 179 TL Suvla Kınalı Yapıncak 2012 : To be honest, at that price (179 TL), I was expecting much better. It’s totally drinkable of course but it lacks finesse and elegance. It’s very fruity with aromas of apples and red fruits and extremely bubbly… very big bubbles… like in a…
Yedi Bilgeler, Anaxagoras, 2017, Chardonnay Rezerv
Points : 8,25/10 Price : Around 110 TL Yedi Bilgeler, Anaxagoras, Chardonnay Rezerv 2017 : This is not a typical Chardonnay as I usually like them … BUT!

Chamlija 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon

Lykia Collection 2014 Pinot Meunier
Price : 90 TL Likya Winery Collection Pinot Meunier 2014 : I hesitated to put that wine on my list. I’m not a fan but still let’s have some respect for the people who decided to take the risk to make wine from Pinot Meunier. This grape is almost always used to produce champagne. Associated…
Chamlija Felix Culpa 2014 Chardonnay
Points : 8,5/10 Price : 90 TL Believe me, I’m entirely objective when I say that it’s one of the best Chardonnay i had in Turkey. And yes, once again, it’s from Chamlija winery. To be fair, I tried the “regular” Chardonnay from the same vintage and I was quite disappointed.. too herbal,, nothing much…
