This is the first time that NJ Wines has written about two different vintages (2022 and 2023) of the same wine in one article. The reason for this is that there is almost no difference between its vintages. However, for some unknown reason, the 2023 vintage has been given a new name that lacks the word “Beerenauslese”, a new ... Read more
Sotirio, Podernuovo a Palazzone, 2021 (59 EUR/67 USD in Sweden) red dry wine, Tuscany, Italy, 90 NJP (22-07-2026 by Dr Nenad Jelisic)
Wow what a wine! Definitely the best 100% Sangiovese-wine that NJ Wines has so far managed to taste this year. The aroma is big, concentrated, sweet spicy, complex and fruity.

The wine of the month for June 2023 takes us to the southern parts of France and a wine region that goes from strength to strength, namely Languedoc-Roussillon. The wine in question has, for us Swedes, the somewhat equivocal name Cuvée Sextant (Sextant is similar to a lady that loves sex) and is produced by the cooperative Les ... Read more

The fact that the wines from here have not yet reached astronomical hights in terms of price does not make matters worse Domaine ... Read more

You know the feeling when you have been looking for something for a long time and you finally find it?
