People's Voice Awards Tasting Notes

Vinicola Aurora Carnaval Moscato Rosé - The nose was spicy and floral with masses of ripe strawberry and a darker note of black currant. On the palate, soothing bubbles gave way to inner floral tones with blackberry and spice, which lingered through the refreshing finish. (89 points) Find it on Wine-Searcher!

2011 Schloss Gobelsburg Grüner Veltliner Lamm # 1 - The nose was intense yet soothing, showing ripe peach, hints of citrus, wet rock and stony minerals. On the palate, it was fresh yet lush, seeming to touch on all of the senses with notes of sweet stone fruits, citrus and inner floral tones. The finish was long, turning slightly tart, tinged with green apple and minerals. (93 points) Find it on Wine-Searcher!

2009 Glenelly Lady May - The elegantly-styled nose showed red berries, chalky minerals, vanilla and a hint of bell pepper. On the palate, it was focused, smooth and beautifully balanced with concentrated red fruits and mint on a structured, dense frame. The finish was intense with palate-staining fruit yet reminding me of its firm structure as fine tannin coated the palate. (93 points) Find it on Wine-Searcher!

1985 Conde de Valdemar Gran Reserva - The nose was rich and dark, rooted in the earth yet sweet and spicy with notes of brown sugar, vibrant cherry, leather and floral tones. On the palate, it was soft like silk, drawing you in to reveal ripe red fruits, earth and hints of citrus and spice, all while seeming impossibly young. The finish was long and fresh, showing tobacco and wood with sweet cherry and milk chocolate. (95 points) Find it on Wine-Searcher! (only currently available outside the United States)
