Mas Lumen, 2008, Languedoc, France

Yes, you read that vintage correctly. Today we are tasting a 16 year old wine. (Well, I am. Alone. None of my guest tasters are around. Sigh. Mope.) To be honest, I hadn’t even noticed the vintage until it came time to do the review. I had popped into Cambridge Wine Merchants not too long […]

Domaine Gramiller Coeur de Raisin 2022, France

I’ve had, and reviewed, stuff from Domaine Gramiller before. I’ve liked it. I’ve been meaning to try this one for some time.

Dr. Pauly-Bergweiler Riesling Trocken 2021, Germany

Puig Parahy ‘Georges’ Cotes du Roussillon AOP 2014, France

This one came highly recommended from Cambridge Wine Merchants (thanks Stewart!).  So I thought I’d give it a go. It’s highly recommended, and relatively affordable. And it has a fair amount of age on it. Apart from that, I tasted it not knowing much about it. In the glass Dark. Although not quite as dark […]
