This wine secured the 🏅 6th place in our wine tasting lineup.
A charming bouquet of quince, fennel, bruised apple, bakery, chalk and citrus. Good acidity, structure and balance. Delicious and easygoing despite 14% abv. All my guesses were wrong - vintage, appellation, and producer.

This wine secured the 🏅 9th place in our wine tasting lineup.
A bit tired and mature bouquet of crushed apple seeds (boy, how many apples had to suffer to produce this wine?), an old sweaty sweater and rubber. The flavours are more pleasant - jerez and mushrooms. Yet overall, the mouthfeel is flabby. The aftertaste is long and super hot. That's why my guess was Nicolas Joly (bingo!). A shameful experience. All the merits are overshadowed by issues.

This wine secured the 🥈 2nd place in our wine tasting lineup.
Simply gorgeous. Such a multilayered and nuanced bouquet of apple vinegar, a wet shirt (that was wet for a long time, hehe), honey, chalk, gunpowder and apple. Then it reveals some creamy notes like dried cheddar. High acidity, but so well balanced and integrated (?). Delicious and evolving. The aftertaste is long and persistent. Dangerously quaffable, it's so hard to stop. Guessed Jacky Blot. IMO the best value of the evening.

What a beautiful continuation. A bit of apple vinegar (again, in a good way), pastilla, white flowers, and cheese-flavoured popcorn. And while it's shy in the bouquet, the mouthfeel is gorgeous. A perfectly balanced and delicious wine with a never-ending aftertaste. Quaffable, multilayered, mineral and complex. Guessed producer.

Ooof, a wine with a sociopathic character. It's full of disturbances. Lots of wood, Mivina spices and bread. Add some bog, smelly fish (Unhygienix would be proud), curry and a blossoming lake. I am too tender to deal with this character (literally, these are my blind notes).
Imagine my surprise when I learned the name of this wine and that it was made by the same person behind Patapon. The facial expression on the Patapon label tells it all. It's not a mistake. It's not a fault. It's KHARAKTER.

The bogging atrocity still haunted me and my senses. Luckily, this bottle guided me to the blessed light. Shells, wet stones, boxwood, apples, fruit trees blossoms, Jerez and meringue on a lemon tart. Fresh, crunchy and well-structured. Such a delicious remedy. I guessed the producer, yet I fear it underperformed due to the previous bottle.

Lovely. Since we knew the list of wines it was easy to guess this wine. As Treebeard said, I feel it in the water, […], and I smell it in the air. Roasted nuts, honey, seawater, earth and jam. Good acidity and structure. I wanted to give it a higher score, but the aftertaste is not long enough.

Green was the colour of its dress. No seriously, green apricot, flowers and seawater. It's attractive, but nothing overly fascinating. This wine feels like waking up after a very long dream and going outside to be greeted by ideal weather. You appreciate that, but your mind is clouded.
At least, l'Ange Vin L'iris is delicious and fresh. It has a long aftertaste with a nice metallic touch.

It's hard to guess Chenin Blanc here. Fino Jerez, mushroom soup, nuts, wet cellar with a few ripe apricots. Good acidity and a round palate. Yet the aftertaste is rather short with some disturbing bitterness. Nice, wanted to taste this wine for a long time.

I looked at you
You looked me
I smiled at you

Yet we parted ways. A bit crazy, a bit hazy, a bit empty. A tower made of wet pebbles, decored with bread crumbs soaked in yeast-infused water. All that to guard a fading jasmine flower. Fresh, yes. But nothing special.
