Points : 8,25/10 Price : 95 TL Sevilen 900 Fumé Blanc 2016 : Not your typical Fume Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc) here but still I really liked it. The nose is fruity and gourmand with aromas of peach, litchi and cherry. It goes on with flavours of green apple, apricot and pineapple. A very surprising wine,…
Porta Caeli Ament 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Franc Merlot Petit Verdot
Points : 9/10 Price : Around 120/150 TL Porta Caeli Ament 2014 : This Bordeaux blend is a beauty. I’m not a fan of their Cabernet Franc as I wrote before but this wine really is one of my favourite. Full bodied but not heavy, beautiful tannins, first aromas of wild strawberry, mint and undergrowth,…
Yedi Bilgeler Phytagoras Reserve 2013 Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon Syrah Merlot
Points : 8/10 Price : 90 TL Yedi Bilgeler Phytagoras Reserve 2013 : This blend made with Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Merlot is very enjoyable. Its tannins remind me a bottle of Haut Médoc my grand father used to drink. Not exactly with the same density but it’s quite close. The addition of Syrah…
Yedi Bilgeler Solon Attica 2016 Malbec
Points : 8/10 Price : Around 75 TL Yedi Bilgeler Solon Attica Malbec 2016 : Malbec is a beautiful grapevine which has some very interesting characteristics : it usually have spicy, plum and liquorice aromas. This Malbec made by Yedi Bilgeler (the 7 sages) winery certainly is the best of its kind in Turkey. I…
Kayra Vintage 2014 Sauvignon Blanc
Points : 6,5/10 but the 2016 deserves 8/10 Price : Around 90 TL Kayra Vintage Sauvignon Blanc 2014 : this Sauvignon Blanc is kind of disappointing. It’s an easy wine to drink, nothing bad about it but it’s like something missing in comparaison with the 2016 vintage I had the pleasure to taste at Sommelier’s…
Chamlija Reserve 2015 Alvarinho
Points : 8,5/10 Price : 75 TL at the Chamlija’s winery I love Albariño, the Spanish grapevine for its acidity and floral flavours. If Chamlija’s Albariño is typical, this other bottle with a Portuguese name is on a completely different level. This is a very classy wine. Albariño goes perfectly well with a mild curry…
