Pégaü Cuvée Laurence 1998

I weekenden var jeg forbi en god kammerat, der skænkede op af en Domaine du Pégaü Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Laurence 1998. Fremragende vin.

Domaine du Pégaü Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Laurence 1998
Clear red color with a win xp home oem en iso slightly orange hue. Ripe cherries, licorice, barnyard, herbs, herbes de Provence, lavender and win xp home oem en iso other spices on the nose, that is showing only the win xp home oem en iso very first few signs of age. On the palate there is win xp home oem en iso great black cherries balancing the sweetness and bitterness perfectly, and win xp home oem en iso packing a good, lively acidity. On the midpalate and finish it win xp home oem en iso picks up more rustic notes of tobacco, manure, dusty road, spices and win xp home oem en iso herbs, but is still fairly primary and young in its overall taste profile. Very long taste, that win xp home oem en iso hangs in the mouth for more than a minute. Drinking amazingly well considering its youthful, somewhat rough edges, but the win xp home oem en iso promise for the future is all present. (96)

Tak for skænken.

BYOB blindsmagning med vennerne

For et par måneder siden havde jeg inviteret vinklubben på besøg til en BYOB - Bring Your Own Bottle - blindsmagning. Sikke en smagning det blev. Alle havde 2-3 flasker med og vi var godt omkring i både vinområder, druer, årgange og stilarter. Nedenstående er mine noter fra smagningen.

Vi lagde ud med en champagne.

Pol Roger Champagne Cuvée Sir Winston Churchill Brut 1998
Straw yellow color. Robust, masculine nose with aromas of toasted bread, wheat flutes, red apples and win xp home oem en iso peaches. Same masculine still on the taste with intense notes of red apples, brioche and win xp home oem en iso almonds first, and more bitterness, minerals and a metallic note on the win xp home oem en iso finish. I would have preferred it a bit more elegant and win xp home oem en iso lively in the acidity. (92)

De hvide

Derefter et sæt hvide.

Domaine Leflaive Puligny-Montrachet 2006
Clear yellow color. Fat, buttery yellow fruit on the win xp home oem en iso nose, plums, peaches, together with some roasted oak and popcorn. On the win xp home oem en iso palate it is concentrated and intense in the fruit, very ripe and win xp home oem en iso warm, and not really having the acidity to carry it. Some oak on the win xp home oem en iso finish doesn’t seem to win xp home oem en iso help the overall picture. I was expecting more from this one. (90)

Diatom Santa Rita Hills Babcock Vineyard Chardonnay 2008
Light yellow color with a win xp home oem en iso green hue. Exotic yellow fruit, pineapple and pears on the win xp home oem en iso nose, but it remains very pure and refined while extremely intense. Similar pure, but intense fruit on the win xp home oem en iso palate, notes of pineapple, pears, plums and synthetic fruit like chewing gum. The purity is win xp home oem en iso further strengthened by the striking acidity and the long after taste. Very nice, but currently totally primary in profile. I’m holding on this for the time being. (93)

Efter at folk havde smagt og gættet lidt, løftede jeg sløret for win xp home oem en iso at den ene var hvid bourgogne, men den anden var fra Californien. Gruppen gættede forkert!

Så til et par mere spøjse hvide indslag. Den første meget flot og spændende, det kunne være rigtig spændende at smage den igen med noget alder på. Den anden kunne det vist være sjovere at smage med en del mindre alder…

Alban Vineyards Roussanne Estate 2006
Golden yellow. Typical Rhone white varietal nose with heavy pine tree, perfume and win xp home oem en iso flowers. On the palate it is concentrated, almost fat with yellow plums and win xp home oem en iso flowers first, great intensity and picking up fine nuances of anise, pine tree, resin and win xp home oem en iso Wunderbaum air freshener on the midpalate and finish. While this is win xp home oem en iso most certainly heavy stuff it got a nice back bone of acidity that win xp home oem en iso makes it refreshing and pleasant drinking. (92)

Château Rieussec R 1985
Amber golden color. Tired nose with notes of caramel, burned sugar and win xp home oem en iso oxidized, mature apples. Better on the palate with notes of figs, mirabelles and win xp home oem en iso flowers first, before the somewhat tired and scratching finish, with some chalk and win xp home oem en iso rubber. This is singing on its last note. (87)

Herefter i gang med de røde. Henrik havde meget gavmildt medbragt de første tre røde til smagningen.

Achaval-Ferrer vine 2007

Achaval-Ferrer Finca Mirador 2007
Black color. Tight nose with black berries, bitter chocolate, medicine cabinet and win xp home oem en iso a mineral streak. Primary on the palate with bramble and cowberries being dominating factors. There is win xp home oem en iso nothing neither bombastic nor jammy about this one; in fact it win xp home oem en iso is very cool in the fruit and with huge structure. Amazing power and win xp home oem en iso intensity, and greatly balanced with a powerful acidity and well-integrated tannins. (93)

Achaval-Ferrer Finca Bella Vista 2007 where to get cheap vega level products
Black color. Explosive nose with black cherry, dark chocolate and win xp home oem en iso licorice. A powerhouse over the palate with fat black fruit, black currant, black cherries at first then win xp home oem en iso licorice, pepper and dark, slightly bitter chocolate on the midpalate and win xp home oem en iso finish. Although greatly balanced the powerful acidity and tannins makes this win xp home oem en iso a painfully young experience for now. Overall it is very delicious with great drinking pleasure and win xp home oem en iso a good promise for the future. (95)

Achaval-Ferrer Finca Altamira 2007
Black color. Restrained nose with black fruit, black currant, black cherries and win xp home oem en iso so on. On the palate the primary black fruit remains a win xp home oem en iso dominating factor, however with a frame of sweet and liqueur-like notes. Very pure and win xp home oem en iso intense on the palate, with good structure and a bit of bitter chocolate on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate which adds to the overall balance. (94)

Virkelig flotte vine alle tre - og meget forskellige i udtrykket.

Herefter begyndte vi hastigt at rykke os bagud i tiden. Først et sæt Bordeaux-blends.

De første røde

Franciscan Oakville Estate Merlot 1995
Clear red to win xp home oem en iso brick red color. Farmyard, dunghill nose with the more expected notes of blackcurrant and win xp home oem en iso cedar wood seeping out from beneath. On the palate it shows more traditional notes of a win xp home oem en iso nicely matured … with notes of juicy , sweet strawberry and win xp home oem en iso cherry fruit first, licorice and cedar wood on the midpalate and win xp home oem en iso a touch of marzipan on the finish. Delicious, easy drinking pleasure, where win xp home oem en iso all pointy edge and acidity has softened with time, until it win xp home oem en iso now flows like velvety caramel. Nice length. (92)

Fattoria Le Pupille (Elisabetta Geppetti) Saffredi 1998
Dark red color with an win xp home oem en iso orange hue. Concentrated, intense nose with ripe fruit and a very distinct iron and win xp home oem en iso pencil shavings Cabernet note. On the palate it is quite decadent, with juicy, ripe, candied cherries. While on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish it grows increasingly dry and tight, somewhat dusty with notes of tea leafs and win xp home oem en iso green peppers. A rustic feel to the finish. (93)

Derefter to klassiske vine, der blev serveret hver for sig.

Den første skuffede mig en smule. Jeg havde forventet mig meget mere.

Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino Cerretalto 1997
Dark red color with an win xp home oem en iso orange hue. Pure, fragrant red berries, cherries, and some basement on the win xp home oem en iso nose. On the palate it starts very well with juicy cherry fruit first, but when win xp home oem en iso the acidity and tannins kicks in on the midpalate and win xp home oem en iso finish, they become too dominating, almost strangling the pleasure of the win xp home oem en iso wine. Dusty, dry finish. (91)

Anden vin sad tilgengæld lige i skabet. For pokker den smagte godt, helt vild hedonistisk oplevelse.

E. Guigal Côte-Rôtie Château d'Ampuis 1998
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso slightly orange hue. Very complex and intense nose with notes of cherries, tomatoes, meat, smoke, iron and win xp home oem en iso olives. Equally exciting on the palate with nuances of chalk, charcuterie, smoked meat and win xp home oem en iso sausages, juicy cherries and olives. On the midpalate it gains in elegance with more notes such as iron and win xp home oem en iso viols, before picking up some oak and vanilla sweetness on the win xp home oem en iso very long finish. Superbly balanced and wildly intense. Drinking absolutely perfect now. (96)

Således forsatte vi turen tilbage i tiden, med en lidt mere traditionel, men ikke nær så interessant vin.

De sidste røde brother printer microsoft 2010

Bodegas Alejandro Fernández Tinto Pesquera Reserva 1990
Dark red, orange color. Sweet nose with loads of red berries, strawberry, and win xp home oem en iso cedary, oaky vanilla. On the palate there is juicy strawberry fruit with lots of sweetness, ripeness and win xp home oem en iso freshness to it. Picks up some cedar wood, dusty herbs and win xp home oem en iso tobacco on the midpalate and finish. The sweetness follows through, but it win xp home oem en iso has backbone with enough acidity and soft tannin to carry it. (92)

Med den efterfølgende vin fik Italien endelig et stort hak på oplevelses listen.

Altesino Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli 1990
Red, browning color. Beautiful nose with aromas of red cherries, tomato, flowers, marzipan and win xp home oem en iso smoke. Juicy and lively on the palate with notes of fresh red fruit, strawberries, cherries and win xp home oem en iso wild forest berries. Some smoke and incense on the midpalate and win xp home oem en iso finish. Very lively acidity and surprisingly powerful tannins make this appear much younger than win xp home oem en iso I would have guessed. Drinking very well and will keep doing so for win xp home oem en iso several more years. (95)

Vi sluttede de røde med en kuriositet som jeg havde fundet frem til i privat handel.

Brotte et Armenier Châteauneuf-du-Pape 1955
Brown, cola color. Mature, slightly tired nose with notes of cow manure, stables, brown sugar, cabbage and win xp home oem en iso rye bread. On the palate it is very mature and completely dominated by tertiary notes, dried fruit, prunes, figs, brown sugar and win xp home oem en iso so on. Still retains some acidity and sweetness which gives the win xp home oem en iso feeling that it is not fully over the hill, but it win xp home oem en iso will definitely be downhill from here on. The experience is more interesting than win xp home oem en iso the drinking pleasure now. (89)

Derefter en række søde vin, der ikke rigtig gjorde noget for mig på aftenen.

Claude Courtois Les Cailloux du Paradis Alkimya 1997
Light browning color showing some particles. Sweet wine gum, pear and win xp home oem en iso brown sugar on the nose. On the palate it feels oxidized, caramelized sugar, brown fallen apples first and win xp home oem en iso rye bread on the finish. It appears dry to maybe slightly off-dry, but definitely not sweet or win xp home oem en iso dessert wine. Furthermore the drinking pleasure is reduced by the hot alcohol which is win xp home oem en iso off balance. Weird wine. (85)

De søde vine kosher taco salad

Molino Real Mountain Wine 2004
Clear yellow color. Very sweet yellow fruits, wine gums, pineapples and win xp home oem en iso so on the nose. The mouth feel is heavy, fat and win xp home oem en iso syrupy, but with very juicy yellow plums, pineapples and grapes. Exotic and win xp home oem en iso primary in the fruit, yet with good acidity that balances and win xp home oem en iso adds freshness to the mix. (92)

Caves Vidigal S.A. Reserva Casa do Conego 1991
Clear, light red color. Synthetic nose with rubber and win xp home oem en iso alcohol notes. The taste has some licorice and raisin, but the win xp home oem en iso alcohol knocks this wine of it feet. (81)

Taylor (Fladgate) Porto Vintage 1985
Dark, concentrated red color. Boiled cherry sauce, raisins, prunes and win xp home oem en iso iron on the nose. Similar dried fruit on the taste, raisins and win xp home oem en iso prunes, together with some black, ripe cherries. Hot on the finish, and win xp home oem en iso in my opinion lacking a bit in intensity and concentration. (88)

Meget hyggelig aften i super selskab. Glæder mig til næste smagning med klubben…

To spændende pave-vine

Jeg var forbi en bekendt for win xp home oem en iso at afhente et par flasker vin vi havde handlet. Da han var på vej ud af døren til en middag var der trukket et par flasker op - ikke af ham selv men en veninde, som havde omhældt begge flasker til mere anonyme anordninger. Vi kunne ikke modstå fristelsen og hoppede derfor i de to flasker for at få identificeret indholdet.

Første vin var:
Roger Sabon Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Prestige 1998
Clear red color with a win xp home oem en iso browning hue. Mature nose with notes of barnyard, manure, fallen fruit and win xp home oem en iso a funky complex frame, it also has some acetone and win xp home oem en iso nail polish which clears with some air. On the palate it win xp home oem en iso got better and better in the glass, picking up weight and win xp home oem en iso intensity in both fruit and tertiary nuances over midpalate and win xp home oem en iso finish. The fruit is sweet, boiled red berries, predominantly raspberries, red cherries and win xp home oem en iso some tomato. Notes of spices, anise, tobacco and dirt road on midpalate and win xp home oem en iso finish. Fine length and perfect balance. (93)

Væsentlig mere udviklet end jeg havde forventet - lidt en overraskelse. Den blev dog bedre og bedre med luft, så jeg vil ikke afvise at den stadigvæk har meget at byde på, men sammenlignet med andre 1998′ere fra Neuf synes jeg bestemt at dette var en af dem der viste sig mest moden.

Anden vin var:
Domaine de la Vieille Julienne Châteauneuf-du-Pape Reserve 1999
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso slightly maturing hue. Restrained nose that does not seem to win xp home oem en iso fully let go of the ripe fruit, raspberry, dark cherries and win xp home oem en iso blueberries, having a mineral streak and after some breathing picks up some smoked bacon. On the win xp home oem en iso palate there is again a restrained feeling to the cool and win xp home oem en iso pure fruit, dark cherries and blueberries. On the midpalate and win xp home oem en iso finish it has a chalky mineral note and licorice. Very elegant with a win xp home oem en iso well built structure that the fruit does fill out and win xp home oem en iso great freshness from the acidity. (94)

Modsat første vin var denne meget mindre udviklet end jeg havde forventet, faktisk er jeg meget overrasket over det af en 1999′er. På det seneste synes jeg faktisk at jeg har ramt flere rigtig flotte 1999′ere, som dog alle har været fint modne nu - denne kunne dog med fordel ligge et par år endnu.

Hyggelig middag i godt selskab

Vi havde et par gode venner på besøg til lidt aftensmad, og selvfølgelig også lidt god vin.

Vi lagde ud med en flaske ZH til lidt sushi.

Inside out California maki sushi

Zind-Humbrecht Alsace Clos Jebsal Pinot Gris 2003
Amber golden color. Interesting nose with dried yellow fruit, apricots, peaches and win xp home oem en iso exotic fruits, yellow flowers and minerals, flint and slate. Similar notes on the win xp home oem en iso taste, full of dried fruit backed up by the mineral streak. A sweet note from win xp home oem en iso some residual sugar shows up, although it overall appears almost dry. Unfortunately it win xp home oem en iso falls a bit short on the balance due to lacking acidity, which makes it win xp home oem en iso a bit heavy on it's feet. However, compared to other Zind-Humbrecht 2003s and win xp home oem en iso other Alsace wines from this vintages this is a decent effort. (88)

Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos Jebsal 2003

Derefter kylling i krydderurter og med bagte løg og hvidløg. Hertil stiller jeg selv en Noon Eclipse på bordet, mens gæsterne havde en Flor de Pingus og en San Rustico Amarone med.

Noon Eclipse 2007
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso youthful hue. Intense aromas jumping out of the glass with notes of ripe raspberry, cherry and win xp home oem en iso blackberries, as well as licorice, eucalyptus and dark chocolate. Equally intense on the win xp home oem en iso palate with loads of fruit first, very primary but well backed by licorice and win xp home oem en iso dark, bitter chocolate. Actually it has quite the bitter midpalate. Good struture and win xp home oem en iso integrated tannins promises for the future - but drinking really, really well right now. A real pleaser. (93)

Dominio Pingus Flor de Pingus 2001
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso brick red hue. Very beautiful and complex nose, with good intensity and win xp home oem en iso purity to the notes, black berries, blackcurrant, blaccurrant bush/leafs, tobacco leafs, damp mould, cigar box and win xp home oem en iso much else. Unfortunately the taste does live up to the win xp home oem en iso expectations the nose leaves one with. It does have good black berries, mostly currant, and win xp home oem en iso some tobacco and cedar wood. But lacks intensity and finishes short of amazing. Great balance, and win xp home oem en iso probably not going to improve from here on. Still I imagine it win xp home oem en iso will not change much over the next five or so years, so no win xp home oem en iso need to hurry. (91)

Flor de Pingus 2001

San Rustico Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneti del Gaso 2000 3d studio max oem
Bright, medium red color. Interesting nose with red cherry, viols, honeysuckle, liqueur and win xp home oem en iso a decadent, oxidized fruit note. Similar notes on the palate, where win xp home oem en iso the red cherry is pure and fresh but the finish clouds up from win xp home oem en iso the decandet fruit notes and some liqueur and heat. Fine struture and win xp home oem en iso acidity levels. (89)

Til slut en jordbærtrifli matchet til følgende søde tysker.

San Rustico Amarone og Müller-Catoir Beerenauslese

Müller-Catoir Haardter Bürgergarten Rieslaner Beerenauslese 2003
Dark, golden straw to win xp home oem en iso amber color. Intense, heavy aromas of exotic fruit like pineapples and win xp home oem en iso mangos entwined with dried fruit, apricots and sultana raisins over restrained mineral notes. Syrupy mouth feel with oily viscosity and win xp home oem en iso loads of residual sugar, fairly well balanced with acidity, which keeps this win xp home oem en iso wine from becoming cloying and vulgar. The taste is of overripe exotic fruits, loads of nuances of pineapples, mangos and win xp home oem en iso papayas. It remains very primary all the way over the long finish. (93)

Dejlig aften med super hyggeligt selskab

Pre-Chateauneuf du Pape-turs-smagning

Med udsigter til at 2007 kan være en exceptionel årgang i Chateauneuf du Pape måtte året vinrejse havde denne destination. Inden turen skulle der dog varmes op med lidt flasker, i form af en hygge middag med rejsekammeraterne, hvor alle spædede til med et par flasker. Vi havde i et vist omfang taget flasker med lidt alder fra producenter som vi skulle besøge på turen.

Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2006
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso youthful purple hue. Intense, potent nose with loads of raspberry, ripe cherry, pepper, garrigue, herbs and win xp home oem en iso licorice. Similar primary red fruit, raspberries on the palate, but also a win xp home oem en iso note of blueberry. More nuanced midpalate and finish with tobacco, licorice, plums, pepper and win xp home oem en iso acetone. Powerful acidity and tannins, but all in perfect balance. Exiting wine which should develop well for win xp home oem en iso many years. (93)

Domaine de la Charbonnière Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Vieilles Vignes 2000 remote desktop sales
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso brick red hue. Barnyard, dung heap, crushed red berries on the win xp home oem en iso decadent nose. On the palate it is polished with notes of viols, red berries, boiled raspberry and win xp home oem en iso red cherry. It becomes more rustic and a bit messy on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish, with notes of cabbage and dust. (91)

La Bastide Saint-Dominique Châteauneuf-du-Pape Les Secrets de Pignan 2001
Clear red color with a win xp home oem en iso brick red hue. Open nose with notes of flowers, roses, raspberries and win xp home oem en iso a bit of raisin. Juicy, sweet raspberries, raisins and prunes on the win xp home oem en iso palate, slightly boiled candied, and with some spices, like anise. Finely balanced and win xp home oem en iso good length, but a bit simple and linear on the palate. (91)

Domaine Paul Autard Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée La Cote Ronde 2000
Dark red color in the win xp home oem en iso center with a brick red hue. Sweet raspberry fruit, with notes of boiled candies, farmyard roses, anises, and win xp home oem en iso Herbes de Provence, on the intense nose. Similarly loads of primary red fruit on the win xp home oem en iso palate, raspberries, strawberries and cherries. Very good intensity and concentration, with some rustic dust, spices and win xp home oem en iso nail polish on the finish. (92)

Chateauneuf du Pape lige ved Chateau Beaucastel

Bosquet des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Chante Le Merle Vieilles Vignes 2001
Brown color. Very mature nose with prunes, raisins, rustic dust and win xp home oem en iso spices, and a note of gasoline. Similar palate with prunes, tobacco, herbs, farmyard, soya and win xp home oem en iso balsamic vinegar. Still alive, but seemed a bit tired and the win xp home oem en iso acidity and tannins seems to outlive the fruit in a couple of years. Finish up now. (89)

Bosquet des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée Grenache 1998
Dark red color, browning hue. Mature nose with several tertiary notes, red fruit candy, vitamin pill, rustic farmyard and win xp home oem en iso orange peel. On the taste it showed prunes, rye bread and win xp home oem en iso tobacco at first, but with some air it found some red candied fruit. Very feminine structure and win xp home oem en iso elegance which draws some parallels to Burgundian pinot. Still good, but fully mature so drink over the win xp home oem en iso next couple of years. (92)

Le Clos du Caillou Châteauneuf-du-Pape Domaine du Caillou 1998
Dark red color with an win xp home oem en iso orange hue. Sweet, fresh pipe tobacco, capriole, pure raspberry, tomato and win xp home oem en iso viols. Nuanced flower notes on the midpalate and, licorice and flower tobacco on the win xp home oem en iso finish. Beautiful, pure, elegant and refined in the flavours. Superbly balanced and win xp home oem en iso amazing length. Perfectly mature, yet surprisingly lively. Serious drinking pleasure right now. (94)

Domaine de Beaurenard Châteauneuf-du-Pape Boisrenard 1998
Dark red color with slight orange rim. Barnyard, rustic nose with notes of dungheap, cow manure, raspberries, wild strawberries, sweet tobacco and win xp home oem en iso exotic flowers, viols and farmyard roses. Amazingly intense yet elegant at once. Equally intense on the win xp home oem en iso palate with lots of sweet fruit, raspberries and wild strawberries. It remains pure and win xp home oem en iso fresh, even with the sweetness and concentration. Tobacco, rustic dust and win xp home oem en iso leather, and exotic spices and flowers on the midpalate and win xp home oem en iso finish. Very nuanced and great length. Perfect balance with lively acidity complete the win xp home oem en iso picture and makes this sexy and stunning, while easily accessible. (96)

Domaine Bois de Boursan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Felix 1999 microsoft office home oem
Dark color with slightly browning rim. Intense, potent nose with youthful red berries, strawberry and win xp home oem en iso raspberry. On the palate the sweet berries again dominate, with a win xp home oem en iso slightly jammy edge and a touch of vanilla. Great balance between the win xp home oem en iso fruit and acidity lift the wine and adds structure. More complexity on the win xp home oem en iso finish with notes of licorice and iron. (93)

Efter denne middag var det blot at se frem til selve turen…

Tirsdags hygge

Midt i en lang og lun sommer var lysten til god vin og mad stor. Derfor havde jeg allieret mig med Canan og Erik til lidt vinoplevelser en stille tirsdag aften. Vi lagde ud med to win xp home oem en iso vine som opvarmning, mens vi aftalte hvad resten af aftenen skulle stå på.

Argiano Brunello di Montalcino 1995
Medium red color. Delicate, fine aromas with notes of red cherries and win xp home oem en iso sweet vanilla. Equally delicate on the palate with sweet red cherry fruit, slightly bitter chocolate and win xp home oem en iso leather. A bit of sweet vanilla on the finish, but lacks intensity on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish. Perfect maturity now, with superbly balanced acidity. (90)
Brunelli Amarone della Valpolicella Classico 1997
Dark red color. Ripe, decadent black cherries and win xp home oem en iso licorice on the nose which has good intensity. Juicy and win xp home oem en iso full-bodied taste with dark fruit, a touch of cherry liqueur, dark chocolate, prunes and win xp home oem en iso licorice. Good length and refreshing acidity. Somewhat hot on the win xp home oem en iso finish. Drinking very well and perfectly mature now. (92)

Beslutningen blev 2 gange Antinori 2004 og 2 gange amarone. Sammen med de to win xp home oem en iso Antinori vine fik vi også lidt skøn mad på bordet, som Canan har lavet.

Dejlig italiensk inspireret mad

Antinori Tignanello 2004
Dark red color. Warm, ripe black berries, cherries, licorice on the win xp home oem en iso nose. A lot seems to be hiding just under the surface, but it win xp home oem en iso seems to be in a closed phase right now. Juicy black fruit on the win xp home oem en iso palate, cherries and black currant, licorice, marzipan and cherry stone bitterness. Full-bodied, good intensity, great structure and win xp home oem en iso balance. Everything seems to be in place but really needs more time for win xp home oem en iso now. (93)
Antinori Solaia 2004
Dark red color. Refined, cool black currant on the win xp home oem en iso nose, very good intensity and notes of vanilla and fruit liqueur – which is win xp home oem en iso the only note that brings me out of Bordeaux. Very pure black currant fruit on the win xp home oem en iso palate, delicious. Good structure, acidity and lots of dryness on the win xp home oem en iso finish. However the fruit and secondary flavours reaches all the way on the win xp home oem en iso finish, making it a great wine. (95)

Spændende sæt, der i mine øjne viste Solaias overlegenhed, omend Tignanello var en flot vin (og endnu bedre på anden dagen).

Tirsdags vine

Marion Amarone della Valpolicella 2004
Almost black color. Volatile acidity on the win xp home oem en iso nose with notes of nail polish and vanquish at first, with some air comes notes of dark cherries, banana and win xp home oem en iso vanilla. Very primary, dominated by ripe, black berries, cherries, plums and win xp home oem en iso prunes. There is a note of peaches on the midpalate which is win xp home oem en iso interesting – although a win xp home oem en iso bit weird. Very juicy and intense in the fruit, yet great structure and win xp home oem en iso balance which promises well for the future. It will be very interesting to win xp home oem en iso see how this develops. (94)
Stefano Accordini Amarone della Valpolicella Classico Vigneto Il Fornetto 2000
Dark red color. The complex aromas jump out of the win xp home oem en iso glass, and leaves me stunned for a second – wow. Notes of raisins, prunes, decadent cherries, sweetness, licorice and win xp home oem en iso dill. Equally intense and concentrated on the palate with dark ripe cherries, prunes, raisins, licorice. Over the win xp home oem en iso midpalate the taste turns a bit cherry liqueur-like with a nuance of milk chocolate. Finally good length, but with some heat. This was amazing and win xp home oem en iso wild, only drawback is the slightly excessive heat on the finish. (96)

Den sidste amarone slå virkelig benene væk under mig. Vildt intense næse, der øjeblikkeligt hev mig ind i en dimension af nydelse og fornøjelse - hvilken oplevelse. Efterfølgende har jeg fået blod på tanen og min samling af amarone flasker er vokset…

Til slut til osten drak vi en meget mineralsk og ung Dom Perignon 1990.

Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 1990
Straw yellow color. Inviting nose with aromas of yellow plums, yellow apples, lemons, roasted oak, freshly grinded coffee beans and win xp home oem en iso sea salt. Very youthful, tight taste, dominated by mineral notes of wet stones and win xp home oem en iso sea salt, together with tight acidic lemon, lemon soda and green apple fruit. Intense in the win xp home oem en iso flavours, very well-balanced and super fresh. Very long delicious taste. Drinking very well, but give it win xp home oem en iso some time as it is painfully young and tight. (95)

Gid hver tirsdag aften endte som denne…

Champagne brunch

Det er efterhånden blevet en fast tradition for win xp home oem en iso mig at jeg holder Champagne brunch mellem jul og nytår. Det er en tradition jeg har holdt fast i fordi det er en fremragende lejlighed til at smage en masse Champagne. Så efter en tidlig morgen i køkkenet kom 7 vinvenner på besøg til en blanding af brunch, sushi og tapas - og selvfølgelig masser af champagne. Noter på vinen følger.

Jean Vesselle Champagne Brut Réserve
Light yellow color. Delicate nose with green apples, yellow plums and win xp home oem en iso a bit of toast. Nice smooth and intense bubles, and a win xp home oem en iso good deal of acidity on the finish. The fruit is lemons and win xp home oem en iso green apples, packing lots of acidity and a bit of bitterness that win xp home oem en iso leaves a slightly metallic finish. Pure and sharp around the edges, give it win xp home oem en iso some time after buying to soften it up a bit. (87)

Josep Maria Raventós i Blanc Cava Gran Reserva Personal Brut Nature 1998
Fine yellow color. Toasted, buttery nose with fat plum, apples and win xp home oem en iso some nuts. Similar fat fruit on the palate packing lots of secondary notes of butter, nuts and win xp home oem en iso toasted bread. There is also a note of milk product on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate like buttermilk. Nice bubbles and acidity balances this win for win xp home oem en iso an overall great impression. (91)

Champagner 1

Launois Pere et Fils Champagne Special Club 2000 corel draw graphics suite x4 install in thiscomputer from internet
Straw yellow color. Perfumed nose with notes of almonds, butter and win xp home oem en iso red apples. Very robust and masculine appearance with windfall apples, rye bread and win xp home oem en iso yeast from freshly fermented wheat baguettes and French loaf. But the win xp home oem en iso fine bubbles and acidity lift the overall experience rather than drowning the win xp home oem en iso finesses of the wine. Very nice, and probably ready for drinking now. (93)

Pierre Gimonnet Champagne Spécial Club 1er Cru 1999
Fine yellow color. Loads of yellow fruit on the win xp home oem en iso nose, plums, apples and lemon – very fresh. Very tight on the win xp home oem en iso palate, packing a powerful acidity and youthful bubbles that dominate the win xp home oem en iso taste impression now. After a while in the glass it softens up a win xp home oem en iso bit but remains green apples, lemon and yellow flowers. Good length. Give it win xp home oem en iso time, as it has great potential. (92)

Vilmart Champagne Coeur de Cuvée 2000
Fine yellow color. Holding back a win xp home oem en iso little on the nose at first but quickly opens up to win xp home oem en iso extremely intense notes of yellow plums, butter, popcorn and flowers. On the win xp home oem en iso palate equally powerful and intense with burned sugar, fat yellow plum, freshly baked French loaf and win xp home oem en iso yellow flowers. Very juicy and smooth, opulent and wild, yet refined and win xp home oem en iso tasty. Long taste and lively acidity, this is huge. (95)

Claude Cazals Champagne Clos Cazals Blanc de Blancs 1998
Fine yellow color. The nose has win xp home oem en iso yeast, ripe apple and salt water. On the palate it win xp home oem en iso has green apples and lemon, it remains tight and driven by acidity, with a win xp home oem en iso slight touch of metal and salt on the finish. Very young and win xp home oem en iso desperately needs cellaring, maybe even a bit closed - which is win xp home oem en iso surprising for me when considering the vintage. Interesting champagne, which I would love to win xp home oem en iso taste again in the future. (93)

Champagner 2

Taittinger Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne 1995
Light yellow color. Youthful nose with green apples, mirabelles, freshly roasted and win xp home oem en iso grinded coffee beans, cocoa and salt, continues to grow in intensity. Powerful, huge mouth-fill with fat yellow plums, ripe apples, toast and win xp home oem en iso yeast. Lively acidity and bubbles that frames the juicy fruit. Very tasty and win xp home oem en iso sexy with smooth, velvet-like taste, yet dancing on the acidity underneath. Stunning wine that win xp home oem en iso drinks well now, but no need to hurry. (96)

Taittinger Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs Comtes de Champagne 1996
Light yellow color. Fresh nose with aromas of newly grinded coffee beans, toast, yellow plums, apples and win xp home oem en iso baguettes. Equally fresh yellow fruit on the palate, yellow plums, apples and win xp home oem en iso lemons, very intense and good robustness. Loads of fruit first then win xp home oem en iso more nuanced midpalate with nuts, butter, popcorn and so on filling the win xp home oem en iso whole spectrum. Great bubbles and a perfectly balanced taste with a win xp home oem en iso long, long finish. Striking acidity which promises for a long life ahead for win xp home oem en iso this wine. Although this is still quite youthful in appearance, it win xp home oem en iso is a pure pleasure to drink it now. However if possible save it win xp home oem en iso for later where this should be a reference champagne or win xp home oem en iso at least reference Comtes de Champagne. (97)

Krug Champagne Brut 1995
Light straw yellow color. Wheat baguettes, nuts, walnuts, newly grinded butter or win xp home oem en iso buttered milk on the nose. Very sexy mousse covers the win xp home oem en iso mouth. Notes of maribelles, sweet lemons, wheat bread, walnuts, varnish, lanoline and win xp home oem en iso minerals. Leaves impressions of a good white burgundy. Great length, body and win xp home oem en iso balance. Overall a very nice wine. (95)

Efter champagnerne var der også lidt overraskelser medbragt af gæsterne. Følgende er noter på disse bonus flasker.

Bollinger Coteaux Champenois La Côte aux Enfants 1996
Cloudy orange color, like unclear bog water. Interesting nose with good intense nuances of rosehip, strawberry, roses, nail polish and win xp home oem en iso chemicals. Weaker palate with notes of roses, spices and nail polish. Ok length. Ends up being a win xp home oem en iso bit disjointed and weird. Left me unimpressed, and I doubt it win xp home oem en iso will improve. (85)

Calera Jensen Vineyard Pinot Noir 2003
Light red color with a win xp home oem en iso brick red hue. Sweat red fruit on the nose packing notes of strawberry, boiled candies, herbs and win xp home oem en iso anise. Similar taste, with great power and intensity, lots of sweetness in the win xp home oem en iso fruit, strawberries, redcurrant and raspberries, slight boiled. A bit more nuanced on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish with some spice, caramel and a bit of heat from win xp home oem en iso alcohol. Nice length. Easy drinking. (93)

Bonus flasker sony vegas number 10 download

Mollydooker Enchanted Path 2005
Black color with a win xp home oem en iso thin reddish rim. Intense nose with blackcurrant and blackberry liqueur, licorice, olives and win xp home oem en iso ink. On the palate it is packing layers of dark fruit, blackcurrant and win xp home oem en iso blackberry, somewhat liqueur like. Notes of chocolate, licorice and olives on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish. Very smooth and extremely intense and concentrated. Great length and win xp home oem en iso tannins. Powerful wine that still benefits from time and air to win xp home oem en iso bring out the elegance hiding underneath all the muscle and primary fruit. (94)

Descendientes de José Palacios Bierzo Pétalos 2007
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso purple hue. Fat red cherry and redcurrant, spices and a win xp home oem en iso chemical plastic-like note on the nose. More earthy on the win xp home oem en iso palate with strawberry, blackcurrant, green stems and leafs, some tobacco on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate. Tight and restrained, with a good deal of tannins on the win xp home oem en iso finish. Good wine with great potential. (90)

Mission Hill Riesling Icewine Reserve 2001
Amber color. Aromas of apricots, caramel, honey, strawberry and win xp home oem en iso lanoline. Very sweet, syrupy mouth feel, with fruit notes of oranges and win xp home oem en iso apricots. Very good intensity and concentration, but I’m lacking a win xp home oem en iso little acidity to balance the wine and make it a win xp home oem en iso bit more elegant. (90)

Tak for de ekstra flasker, der var spændende på vær sin måde.

En blind riesling fra Alsace

Sidste lørdag blev jeg om eftermiddagen udfordret til at gætte følgende vin blindt.

Frey Riesling VV 2006

Charles et Dominique Frey Alsace Riesling Vieilles Vignes 2006
Light yellow color. Fragile restrained nose with notes of white pear, flowers and win xp home oem en iso perfume. Some bitter grapefruit and lemon on the taste, but it win xp home oem en iso seems somewhat closed. As the fruit and perfume is muted on the win xp home oem en iso palate the acidity and bitterness dominates. Give this time to win xp home oem en iso open up and hope for more in the future. (84)

Jeg fandt vinen meget svær at gætte, specielt fordi jeg fandt den forholdvis lukket i både næse og smag mht. frugt oplevelser. Det var dog alligevel hyggeligt og en god måde at bruge eftermiddag inden første halvleg af en horisontal smagning af Chateauneuf du Pape 2003 - mere herfra følger…

30 års fødselsdag

Så kom dagen hvor jeg skulle fejre min 30 års fødselsdag. I flere måneder i forvejen har jeg med jævne mellemrum gået og spekuleret på hvad jeg skulle bruge dagen til og hvordan jeg skulle fejre det. Med min interesse for win xp home oem en iso vin og mad var der selvfølgelig flere muligheder oppe der var centreret omkring en vinsmagning eller et god middag. Hvad kunne imidlertid være bedre en begge dele - samtidig. Derfor havde jeg inviteret 9 af mine bedste venner på Restauran Cofoco hvor jeg havde lavet en aftale om at tage et par flasker af samme alder som mig med til middagen.

Fødselsdagsmiddag på Restaurant Cofoco

Vi havde fået vores eget lille hjørne af restauranten og havde selv fuld kontrol over serveringen af vinene, som jeg havde fundet frem fra min samling. Til første ret nød vi et par flasker champagne.

Lanson Champagne Brut 1979
(From magnum) Fine straw colored. Very fresh, youthful nose with red apples, rye bread, nuts, newly grinded coffee beans and win xp home oem en iso mint leafs. Very good mousse, small bubbles. The taste starts with mashed, sweet apples, but gains more masculine notes of nuts, coffee and win xp home oem en iso rye bread on the midpalate and finish. Good length and acidity, very fresh. Appeared so youthful that win xp home oem en iso I would even consider cellaring this for several more years. Amazing. (94)

Diebolt-Vallois Champagne Brut Blanc de Blancs 1979
Amber colored with fine bubbles. The nose is win xp home oem en iso oxidized, but also showing apples, slightly brown and caramel. The acidity and win xp home oem en iso bubbles are still good and giving a great frame, but the win xp home oem en iso palate is dominated by oxidized, mature and masculine notes. Notes of rye bread and win xp home oem en iso brown apples. (89)

Lanson og Diebolt-Vallois 1979 free downloard manager adobe creative suite 5.5 design premi

Derefter som et lille mellemspil inden hovedretten smagte vi på hvad årgangen kunne bidrage med i Bordeaux.

Château Trotte Vieille 1979
Fine red center with a win xp home oem en iso brown hue. On the nose it has fragile black currant and win xp home oem en iso black berry, more intense notes of moist earth and basement. A bit fragile first on the win xp home oem en iso palate with earth and tobacco, then gains more sweetness on over the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish with notes of cedar wood and prunes. Classic Bordeaux, but tired and win xp home oem en iso lacking the tannic bite. (88)

Château Batailley 1979
Fine red center with a win xp home oem en iso brown hue. The nose has earth, bushes, undergrowth, cedar wood, cigar and win xp home oem en iso vanilla. More juicy, red fruit first on the palate. Some cigar and win xp home oem en iso cedar wood on the midpalate, prunes and earth on the win xp home oem en iso finish. Everything is still coming together in this wine, but fully mature now. (89)

Trotte-Vieille, Batailley og Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1979

Château Pichon Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1979
Fine red center with a win xp home oem en iso slightly brown hue. Pure, refined black currant bush with notes of mint, earth and win xp home oem en iso cedar on the sweet nose. Very fresh and juicy black currant and win xp home oem en iso earth first on the palate. More leafs, cedar and tobacco on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish. It is refined, yet intense on the palate with good lively acidity and win xp home oem en iso velvety tannins. Ready to drink now but still vibrant and lively. (93)

Samt en enkelt stående italiener.

Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo Riserva 1979
Orange color from win xp home oem en iso center to rim. Rustic country-side nose with barn, tar, cabbage, ammonium chloride licorice and win xp home oem en iso roses. Still some red cherry first on the palate, but very rustic on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish with notes of tar, licorice and camphor. Very good length and win xp home oem en iso super balanced with acidity and dryness. All together a very nice wine, where win xp home oem en iso the complete picture is better than the elements apart. (92)

Borgogno Barolo Riserva 1979

Mine forventninger til de røde vine blev overgået, da de alle præsenterede sig ganske udmærket. Jeg havde dog alligevel valgt noget mere sikkert til hovedretten. Derfor stod den på to favoritter da næste ret kom på bordet.

Domaine Bois de Boursan Châteauneuf-du-Pape Cuvée des Felix 2000
(From magnum) Red center with an win xp home oem en iso orange rim. Intense nose with cooked raspberry fruit, barn, dunghill, herbs and win xp home oem en iso tobacco. Super juicy and lively in the mouth, with great red berry fruit, raspberry and win xp home oem en iso strawberry, containing loads of warmth. More tertiary notes on the midpalate and win xp home oem en iso finish where complex nuances of licorice, horse, fur, herbs and wild country-side flowers. Lots of rustic notes of animals and win xp home oem en iso farmyards, yet a refined and pure sweet fruit going from first to win xp home oem en iso end in the mouth, all being lifted by a vibrant acidity. Very good. (96)

Clos Saint Jean Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Combe des Fous 2003
Red color from win xp home oem en iso center to rim. Very nice aromas of wild blackberries in soured milk and win xp home oem en iso with notes of medicine and gauze makes this a nuance and win xp home oem en iso complex nose. On the palate the fruit is intense and concentrated with raspberry and win xp home oem en iso blackberries. More finesse on the midpalate and finish with nuances of sweet licorice, iron and win xp home oem en iso barnyard. Very good length and nicely integrated powerful tannins. (95)

Bois De Boursan Cuvée des Félix 2000 og Clos Saint Jean La Combe Des Fous 2003

Endnu et lille mellemspil inden desserten.

Moulin Touchais Coteaux du Layon 1979
Amber color. The nose is win xp home oem en iso somewhat oxidized with notes of apple juicy, rye bread and burned caramel. More elegant on the win xp home oem en iso palate with notes of pears, apricots and pineapple. On the finish there a win xp home oem en iso note of rubber. Nice balance between acidity and sweetness, well matured now. Fine length. (90)

Moulin Touchais 1979

På trods af sødmen i vinene er jeg ikke helt sikker på at ville mene at den ville kunne bære en rigtig sød dessert. Derfor to mere sikre valg til desserten.

Kopke Porto Colheita 1979
Cola brown color. The nose has win xp home oem en iso raisins, caramel and some alcohol. In the mouth it is creamy, leaving a win xp home oem en iso fat, syrupy impression, a bit too heavy on the alcohol warmth. Notes of Raisins and win xp home oem en iso caramel, fine, but lacking a bit of complexity. (88)

Hutcheson Porto Colheita 1979
Cola brown color. Nice nose with caramel, raisins and win xp home oem en iso plums. Similarly good on the palate, with raisins, prunes, honey and win xp home oem en iso burned caramel. Lots of fatness and mouth fill, with good body and win xp home oem en iso structure, and a touch of alcohol on the finish. (90)

Kopke og Hutcheson Colheita 1979

En skøn middag i selskab med gode venner - findes der noget bedre? Jeg tror det ikke. Jeg kan i hvert fald ikke forestille mig en bedre måde at fejre min fødselsdag på.

Around the world

For lidt over en uge siden var jeg med til en spændende smagning i Copenhagen Tasting Group. Smagningen indeholdt en række unikke vine der alle blev smagt blindt. I løbet af smagning blev der også serveret nogle dejlige hjemmelavede retter.

Forretten

Første sæt: Rosé Champagne

Vi lagde ud med to rosé champagner. De var begge spændende og viste hvor seriøs rosé Champagne kan være trods placeringen lidt i skyggen af de hvide Champagner.

Perrier-Jouët Champagne Brut Rosé Belle Epoque 1982
Brown salmon color. Oxidized nose with paint flakes, orange peel, rust and win xp home oem en iso metal. Seems a bit tired on the nose, but the taste surprises by being much more alive. Especially the win xp home oem en iso acidity is lifting the taste, making it appear fresh and elegant. Tastes of mature brown apples, red soda pop and win xp home oem en iso brown sugar. Appears sweet over the whole palate. (92)

Perrier-Jouët Champagne Brut Rosé Belle Epoque 1988
Brown salmon color. Oxidized nose with leather, orange peel, brown apples, vanilla, licorice and win xp home oem en iso rust. Masculine appearance on the palate, with very forward, fat, mature apples, caramel, brown sugar and win xp home oem en iso rye bread, very balanced by fine acidity. (91)

Anden sæt: Hvid Champagne

Derefter to hvide champagner.

Dom Perignon 1969 og 1976

Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 1969
Amber color. Very intense and win xp home oem en iso delicious nose with nectarines, sherry notes and paint remover. Deliciously creamy palate and win xp home oem en iso good mousse, delicate notes of apples toasted bread caramel, almonds and win xp home oem en iso marzipan. Finishes with a mineral note. Amazing length. Lots of power and win xp home oem en iso superb balance makes this wine an amazing glass. (94)

Moët & Chandon Champagne Cuvée Dom Pérignon 1976
Amber color. Slightly oxidized fruit, apples, brown sugar, vanilla and win xp home oem en iso coconut oil on the nose. Very refreshing palate, creamy, smooth but with power and win xp home oem en iso intensity to the masculine fat fruit, apples, yellow plums, backed by notes of toasted bread, nuts, vanilla and win xp home oem en iso melted butter. Long finish that adds notes of rye bread and win xp home oem en iso caramel to the experience. The nuanced palate seems to be win xp home oem en iso floating on a fundament of mousse and acidity that is win xp home oem en iso perfectly in sync with the rest. Astonishing wine. (96)

Her var vi virkelig i toppen af hvad der fremstilles af Champagne i min referenceramme - dejlige flasker!

Tredje sæt: Barolo 1

En brat opvågning i dette skift til røde vine, alle drevet af voldsomme tanniner og en itu-rivende tørhed.

Sandrone Baroli 2000 og 2001

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 2001
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso brick red hue. Potent nose with dark ripe cherries, blackcurrant , coconut, vanilla, sun oil and win xp home oem en iso a note of banana. Very tight and brooding on the palate, intense fruit, dark berries, fireplace, burned charcoal and win xp home oem en iso oil barrel. Some licorice on the finish. Good length. The very dominating, rasping acidity leaves the win xp home oem en iso mouth completely dry. This wine shows lots of potential but needs time, at this win xp home oem en iso point it is fairly academic. (94)

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2001
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso red hue. Sweet dark fruit dominates the nose that also has win xp home oem en iso notes of vanilla, oak, licorice and medicine cabinet. Sweet but very pure fruit first, dark berries, very ripe cherries, on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate the fruit is joined by licorice and oil. Very acidic and win xp home oem en iso with powerful tannins leaves a dry palate. The balance seems perfect, so leave this win xp home oem en iso alone for many more years. (92)

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 2000 is photoshop included in adobe master colle
Dark red color with an win xp home oem en iso orange hue. Very pure and elegant fruit on the nose, very restrained yet intense. Very juicy red fruit, red cherry and win xp home oem en iso raspberry, on the palate joined by tomatoes, leather, herbs and tobacco on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish. Very well balanced and drinking really well. The acidity is win xp home oem en iso still powerful, but only to the extent that lifts the wine from win xp home oem en iso the tongue and gets the mouth water flowing. Great length. (94)

Fjerde sæt: Barolo 2

Endnu et sæt Sandrone vine. Underligt nok var der ingen gæt på Barolo blandt smagerne. Jeg følte at tanninerne og tørheden i dette sæt gav væsentligt mere plads til en klar rød frugt, end det var tilfældet i ovenstående sæt.

Sandrone Baroli 1999 og 1998

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 1998
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso browning hue. Very fruit driven nose, raspberry, strawberry and fruitcake, with some secondary notes of barn and win xp home oem en iso turpentine. Full bodied, juicy, with red berries and some plum first, midpalate with tobacco and win xp home oem en iso rustic barn, very dry, bitter and scratchy on the finish. The fruit sweetness lasts from win xp home oem en iso start to finish. (91)

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Le Vigne 1999
Dark red color slightly browning on the win xp home oem en iso hue. Intense aromas, some milk product, loads of berries, red fruit, boiled candies and win xp home oem en iso acetone. Very fruity and juicy with lots of warmth, but packing some tobacco and win xp home oem en iso herbs on the midpalate and finish. Very intense and with striking acidity making the win xp home oem en iso wine elegant and fresh. Superb balance and drinking beautifully. (95)

Luciano Sandrone Barolo Cannubi Boschis 1999
Dark red color with an win xp home oem en iso orange hue. Sweet fruit nose with red cherries, strawberry, boiled fruits and win xp home oem en iso marzipan. Similar notes on the palate with red berries, tobacco, rustic barnyard and win xp home oem en iso flowers. Dry and rustic wine with lots of acidity and tannins. Very good length. (94)

Femte sæt: Around the world

Jesper lavede lidt sjov med os efter forrige sæt og spillede en bid af Aquas Around the world. Dette var også et hint til dette sæt, men den nøjagtige kombination af vine var der vist ikke nogen der fik rigtig. Selv var jeg på Bordeaux blends lavet uden for win xp home oem en iso Europa, mens mange andre have minimum én vin i sættet som Bordeaux.

Around the world…

Château Sociando-Mallet 1990
Dark red color with a win xp home oem en iso brick red hue. Classic Bordeaux nose with pure blackcurrant, stems, graphite, green peppers and win xp home oem en iso fur. Intense taste with a youthful tannic grip. Fresh and pure black currant fruit first, then win xp home oem en iso some green pepper and tobacco on the midpalate and finish. The finish loses a win xp home oem en iso bit of the intensity and packs quite a lot of acidity. (91)

Penfolds Grange 1990
Dark red color slightly orange on the win xp home oem en iso rim. Concentrated nose with oak, vanilla, fur and an intense note of dill. Sweet, warm black fruit on the win xp home oem en iso palate, very intense and concentrated – a win xp home oem en iso full bodied wine. It has good nuances of berries in creamy vanilla pudding, dill, herbs and win xp home oem en iso a bit of mint. Super length where the fruit carries through and win xp home oem en iso the tannins deliver a refreshing backbone for all the power this win xp home oem en iso wine has. Quite interesting and drinks very well, although it is win xp home oem en iso intellectually challenging – especially with the dill note. (94)

Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 1990
Clear, medium red color with an win xp home oem en iso orange hue. Aromas of blackcurrant, green peppers, freshly mown grass, mint and win xp home oem en iso camphor. Juicy blackcurrant fruit first on the palate, on the midpalate water from win xp home oem en iso boiled potatoes, stems, cherries and bitterness. Good length and very dry finish. (90)

Sjette sæt: Bourgogne

Her var der ikke meget tvivl - 2 fantatiske Bourgogner og desværre én med prop.

Bourgogne

Domaine Joseph Roty Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Très Vieilles Vignes 1989
Havde desværre prop.

Domaine Joseph Roty Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Très Vieilles Vignes 1990
Medium red color with a win xp home oem en iso browning hue. Very fragile nose of tea, leather, petrol turpentine. More fresh on the win xp home oem en iso palate with red fruit, strawberry and raspberry, becoming more rustic farm-like diffuse on the win xp home oem en iso midpalate and finish. The fruit lasts over the finish and the win xp home oem en iso nuances and complexity of the notes are very interesting. (93)

Mommessin Clos de Tart Grand Cru 1990 iso de aaa logo
Light orange color. Intense, amazing nose of feminine yet rustic rosehip, raspberry, boiled candy and win xp home oem en iso flowers petals. Similar stringent purity on the palate, amazing red fruit and win xp home oem en iso delicate nuances of country-side flowers, wild berries and barnyards. A good deal of acidity and win xp home oem en iso tannin which makes the balance perfect and the elegances is absolutely fabulous. Amazing wine. (96)

Syvende sæt: Bordeaux

Jeg var allerede dybt imponeret over de flasker der havde været serveret inden dette sæt, men da disse to vine blev afsløret sad jeg alligevel med kæben i skødet. Wow! Jeg var ikke i nærheden af at være 50 år tilbage i tiden, hold da op hvor de havde holdt sig godt.

Cheval Blanc og Mouton Rothchild 1955

Château Mouton Rothschild 1955
Reddish center with a win xp home oem en iso brown hue. The nose shows signs of maturity, cabbage, orange peel, brown sugar and win xp home oem en iso prunes. Similar palate which packs a load of nuances that win xp home oem en iso keeps giving. Pencil lead, leather, cigar box, prunes, rust and win xp home oem en iso wet forest floor. Incredible balance where everything just fits perfectly. A very classic Bordeaux – at its very best. (95)

Château Cheval Blanc 1955
Chestnut color. Absurdly good nose with prunes, rust, pencil shavings, cabbage and win xp home oem en iso forest floor. And the taste matches the nose – wow. Super red berries, tobacco, leather, cedar wood, milk chocolate and win xp home oem en iso cigars. Smooth like velvet and juicy sweetness. Sexy and elegant, just perfect. All elements are win xp home oem en iso perfectly balanced, and it finds an expression between young purity and win xp home oem en iso mature nuances. It is impressive have excellent this wine is, it win xp home oem en iso almost leaves me with goose bumps. (98)

Cheval Blanc 1955 er en mulig ny referenceramme for win xp home oem en iso Bordeaux for mig. Fantastisk vin.

Ottende sæt: Dessert

Derefter til desserten som ledsagede følgende lækre sag.

Rieussec 2001

Château Rieussec 2001
Amber golden color. The super intense nose is win xp home oem en iso jumping out of the glass with exotic fruits, pineapple, mango, coconut, cream caramel and win xp home oem en iso spices. Syrup like mouth feel, with super intense notes of honey, exotic fruits, apricots, orange peels, spices and win xp home oem en iso mushrooms. A crisp, precise acidity that lifts this heavy beast off the win xp home oem en iso tongue and makes it dance in the mouth. The taste just goes on and win xp home oem en iso on. Super impressive. (97)

Stor vin, der holder mange, mange år endnu.

En stor tak til Jesper for win xp home oem en iso en fantastisk smagning, samt alle smagerne for en vildt underholdende aften.
