Points : 8/10 Price : Around 90/100 TL Kayra Vintage Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2014 : very impressed by this wine. Beautiful golden colour. Flavours are powerful with peach, nectarine, yellow apple and vanilla. The texture is creamy. Very long length. Wow! This is not a wine for an aperitif but for a heavy meal with…
Umurbey 2015 Sauvignon Blanc Semillon
Points : 7/10 Price : Around 70 TL Umurbey Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2015 : those two grapes are often used in the Bordeaux region and maybe even more in the new world (US, Australia for example).

Points : 8/10 Price : Around 120 TL Suvla Reserve Kınalı Yapıncak 2015 : I really enjoyed this wine, especially as an aperitif. Its buttery taste will pair perfectly with a fatty fish.

Trajan rezerv Kalecik Karası 2010 : A really beautiful nose with great aromas of strawberry, black cherry, plum, wet stone, spices and some hints of oak. Very impressive. I’m thinking : 8 years! This will be fantastic… maalesef!!! It was like this wine should be drunk earlier than 8 years later. Tannins are medium but…
Chamlija 2016 Mavrud
Points : 6,5/10 Price : 55 TL Chamlija Mavrud 2016 : chamlija’s family comes from Bulgaria. So this is no surprise that they decided to use the Bulgarian Mavrud grapevine to do this fruity, easy drinking wine. Well, in fact, it doesn’t mean this wine is simple. But let’s go back to the history of…
