Tasting articles

Tasting articles are the way we publish our most important groups of tasting notes, typically horizontals (one vintage, different producers) or verticals (one producer, different vintages) or from one particular region. Reluctantly, and only because we know how useful they are, we give scores, out of 20, European-style. We also suggest suitable drinking dates because we feel strongly that the wine trade doesn't give us consumers nearly enough advice about when to drink their wines. See more details of What our scores mean.

You can see a complete list of the tasting articles that have already been published in our comprehensive list of Tasting articles by region, although remember this does not include all of the tens of thousands of tasting notes on the site. To find specific tasting notes, use the Tasting notes search which also allows you to Find this wine by linking you directly to the relevant pages of www.winesearcher.com listing prices and stockists worldwide.

Readers may remember how only last year I raved about the Faro wines of two producers, Bonavita and Salvatore's Geraci's Palari estate . Faro is a tiny DOC perched on the windy hills at the very eastern tip of Sicily overlooking the straight of Messina. It was practically extinct when in. More...
In your much-appreciated response to our recent survey , many of you said you'd like more coverage of less expensive wines. So here is a collection of tasting notes on more than 200 wines currently retailing in the UK for under £10 a bottle, including some really rather delicious ones - and some. More...
Jancis writes: Our German specialist Michael Schmidt tasted widely at the VDP's Weinbörse, its first showcase of 2012s, in Mainz at the end of last month, an experience he describes in Mosel Riesling 2012 - terroir v tradition?   Below are his notes on 27 Pfalz 2012s. We'll be. More...
Every year, I use London's extremely useful  Big Fortified Tasting to teach myself a lesson. In 2011 and 2012, the lessons were concerned with passing the MW practical examination. In 2013, with the exam now mercifully conquered , I could follow a more personal interest, so I embarked on a. More...
Last February I was invited to an intriguing comparative tasting of Mommessin's Clos de Tart v Giacomo Conterno's Barolo Monfortino. Intriguing because, on the face of it, the wines have nothing in common: different grape variety, different terroir and different country. I thought it merely. More...
We continue our week devoted to Pinot Noir with an Australian specialist in this capricious variety, Nick Farr of Geelong, son of Gary Farr who initially made wine at nearby Bannockburn. There is no doubt that Geelong, a vastly capacious zone on the cool Victorian coast, can provide fine. More...
More non European Pinots in today's tasting article: a collection of tasting notes on the latest releases from the determinedly biodynamic Marlborough estate of cinematographer Michael Seresin. See Monty Waldin's 2011 profile of Seresin . Seresin Pinots are, like those of Bergström of. More...
We continue this week's Pinot Noir theme with a look at the 2010 releases of one of our favourite Oregon producers, Bergström. (Left is the view from their tasting room.) I was impressed by what I tasted last time I attended the International Pinot Noir Celebration in. More...
It's certainly a treat to taste 14 vintages of Clos de la Roche but this was just one of the excitements in the collection of 45 tasting notes below, which include no fewer than seven seriously mature Meursaults, six premier cru Chambolles, four Latricières and no fewer than five Chambertins. But. More...
The very young Campi di Fonterenza estate, founded only in 1997 and run by twin sisters Margherita (left)  and Francesca Padovani, is one of the producers notoriously absent from the annual Brunello en primeur tasting . I have lamented this situation before, because in order to capture a. More...
