14.0
Troplong Mondot
alcoholic, almost spritige nose piercing. Strong Body Builder body without any elegance. Impressive but far from balanced.

The tasting conditions were expected as well, even if this time lacked the spit cup made of cardboard. Was a pity, however, that some representatives were visibly tired and listless. Some wines were disappeared at halftime auszuschenken and a few representative (s) type rather than the iPhone around.

All in all, but another very good reason.

How scared away customers from the Expovina

This year I tried again to visit some stands on the wine vessels of the Expovina. Usually you come out of sheer people do not really adjust to taste alone. But this Sunday it was between 13 and 16 hours a perfectly quiet afternoon.

My visit at the booth of Louis Bovard was meant as a broadening of horizons in the direction of the red wines of this quality good. As a longtime customer who regularly buys a few bottles of Medi Nette, Ribex or other white gems from Bovard, I wanted to know if such a magnificent terroir Pinot's is also good. Unfortunately

was the intermezzo at Bovard stand very short. I was forbidden (yes, that's right!) Spit out the wine in this state. "People here do not tolerate this, unfortunately," they said with moderately friendly tone.

I was dumbfounded, read the glass and went on. Something I have experienced in the past 10 years have never and I was wondering where can be the motivation of the Domaine Bovard, to prohibit its potential (or existing in my case) customer spitting the wines.

Unfortunately, I also trained as a taster, not possible, five Pinot Noirs judge seriously if I drink a glass of each wine must. This has nothing to do with to do a reduced appreciation of the wine or the wine, but purely for practical reasons. Finally, I would not fluctuate after tasting more than do the ships at Bürkliplatz.

So I wonder whether it is better for Bovard, if ten drunken proles unthinkingly toss another glass as if an interested wine lovers who regularly buys Bovard wines (e), would like to try some new drops and then spit out. Perhaps the former sold more easily possible.

I was certainly shocked and hope that this is a one-off slip on the part of the estate of the grand seigneur of the Lavaux. For the first nose that I was still in the "Basic Pinot" could put the estate was promising. Unfortunately, the experience was not a single gulp, respectively. Spit out. Too bad.

drinking parties people may http://www.domainebovard.com/ discover the excellent wines of this good - but remember spitting allowed!

Daughter Has Yellow Dishcharge

Domaine de Mourchon - Grand Reserve 2006

Today in the glass, Domaine de Mourchon - Grand Reserve 2006th


dark purple, almost black core. Beautiful shine.

Syrah pointed nose, only a lot of dark berries, blackberries, blueberries, and to notes of pepper, then an almost floral note and a pleasant tartness, some sand spike and the scents of a cut and remember the sun-dried wild flower meadow.

Fresh, fruity start, then quickly and powerfully mouth-filling, much tannin, finely woven and with it a very pleasant acidity, flavors of cherry compote, some Christmas spices and a hint of coffee.

In the finish, the wine - if he is drunk at 16 degrees - long and balanced response. At higher temperatures, the alcohol is quite high of 15% a little too noticeable.

has undoubtedly proved the company Gazzar with this wine even more of a good nose for a Preis-/Leistungs-Schnäppchen. If you like authentic South of France, which body, strength and flavor combine with cool but not plump fruit that is in this price range have to look far to find a better wine.

This wine is 2010 antrinkbar but should be decanted before serving 2-3h, for only then unfolds the whole spectrum of flavors. Ideal drinking window would be between 2012 and certainly 2018th 17 vvpunkte +. can

This wine is also rich with autumn foods (such as venison) record. My compliments!

24 Hr Laundry Upper East Side York

Ségla 2006 - wonderful refreshment of Margaux.

During our holiday in Piedmont, we have tried on a beautiful sunny afternoon, the second wine of Rauzan-Ségla 2006; a very pleasant change after all the Nebbiolo and Barbera's s. Here are my notes about this:


Medium burgundy, light ruby reflexes. In the nose is very fresh and flowery, as are scents of rose petals, a bit of eucalyptus and some chocolate, served with a subtle touch of wood. On the palate, soft start, beautiful Miineralik, at first rather modest, red-berry fruits which, over time more and more noticeable. The acid is present, the tannins are moderate but ripe. Very nice enamel. Rather slim but well-balanced wine, very delicately constructed, the components very well coordinated.

A very nice and very digestible Bordeaux is good to drink already but still good for several years may sleep in the basement. 16 vvpunkte to enjoy 2010-2015. Available from www.gazzar.ch

1.2ghz Wirelessaustralia

La Lagune 1994


Matured Carmine, significantly lighter border. The nose is not very expressive but quite pleasant. Subtle notes of cedar, leather and eucalyptus to a red-berry fruits, very fine. On the palate, soft start, very balanced, moderately complex, with hints of red berries, Lakrizze, mushrooms and coffee. The tannins are still present, the fruit clearly in retreat. In the finish La Lagune 1994 short but consistent. All in all, certainly not a great but a very pleasant-to-drink wine that accompanied my Hohrücken grilled today evening perfect. 15 vvpunkte. He can drink in 2010 or 2015 or 2020. Better he is not anymore. But surely it takes more than 10 years until it noticeably worse. Just a matter of taste. The remaining bottle of times I put to page.

How To Give A Brazilian Wax

Little 95er ...

yesterday and today in the glass, two small but nice 95er that prove the best possible way, that even "small" wines can offer a lot of advanced age drinking Pass.

Ch La Gurgue 1995: Carmine Red, ripe color, slightly lighter border. Immediately after opening very accessible, fragrant nose, typical of Margaux, a little smoke, a lot of chocolate, To dark red berries and cedar. On the palate, beautifully balanced with a fully mature tannins, and a lot of enamel and an amazing amount of depth. Medium length, very harmonious finish.

Ch Poujeaux 1995: Darker color than La Gurgue acts, still very fit. behavior in the nose first right, then after 2 hours decanting wonderful Bordeaux aromas, as is first of very fine cigar box, some smoke, then white lilies, violets and red berry fruit and coffee. On the palate, soft start, pleasant melting, ripe, red berries, Lakrizze and again a slightly smoky note, the tannins still available, mature and well integrated, the whole rounded off by a rather subtle acidity, very elegant! Poujeaux 1995 antrinkbar, but could set in 2-3 years and definitely has a jagged reserves for another 10 years. A beautiful, classic Bordeaux value in the payments of class. 17 vvpunkte. 2010-2020.

Are Alienware Durable

Schafuuser Wiiprob 2010

Last night I tasted in the saddle Fusser Wiiprob some wines. My focus was on the Pinot Noir, but additionally I can also try one or the other "exotic wine." As always, my notes spontaneous snapshots are sometimes not 100% under ideal conditions have come to pass. Where I have known the prices of Wines and a Preis-/Genuss-Einschätzung specified.

Everything is considered in particular the level of Schaffhausen's Pinot Noir is very high. It had many wines with good flavor and harmonious fruit. Even in 2009 there was little to lower acid wines. My compliments to the winemaker.


E & E Gasser-Bircher ( www.gb-weine.ch / info@gb-weine.ch)

Sauvignon Blanc 2009
Tolle, expressive, very typical Sauvignon Blanc nose . Exotic fruit, citrus flavors, nice spice. On the palate plenty of fruit, citrus flavors again and almost peppery spice. Very lively acidity. A wine with character, very typical of the variety. Compliment! Vvpunkte 17, 2010-2012. For 17 francs a strong buy recommendation.

Pinot Noir Late Harvest 2009
Fruity nose, red berries, some smoke, very discreet touch of wood, very typical of the variety. On the palate until soft start, lots of red berries, very velvety tannins, fresh acidity. In lasting finish the alcohol does something noticeable. Nice Pinot. 5.16 vvpunkte, 2010-2015. Ca. 17 francs, very good value. Pinot Noir Barrique 2009


Bright ruby, the nose still quite strongly influenced by the wood, spicy, nice Beerenaromatik, plus some herbs. On the palate, fresh, very typical of the variety, of medium stature, but well balanced with ripe tannins, for the year also wonderful fresh acidity and very balanced wood use. An elegant, sensitive vinified Pinot, bravo! 5.17 vvpunkte, 2011-2017. With "only" 20 francs a Top Buy!

Merlot / Pinot 2008 Merlot
Distinct flavors in the nose, slightly vegatil reminiscent of tomato, a little less deep than the pure Pinot. Meaty upbeat, very good structure, with brightened tannins and good acidity. Medium long finish makes fun and has reserves. 17vvpunkte, 2011-2018. 28 francs, not cheap but worth the price.

Cabador 2008
smoky peaty nose, a little cloves, stable, a slight Muffton. On the palate, soft, round kick, then very fruchtbetong, rather with moderately complex red berry aromas. A lot of acid and tannin. Well done, though not very inspiring. Vvpunkte 15, 2010-2014. Fri 19.50. No must-have.


Albert Fehr ( www.rebgut.ch / info@rebgut.ch)

Pinot Noir 2009
Expressive, very himbeerige nose. On the palate, nice fruit, quite a lot of meat on the bone, flavors of gummy bears but all in all, very pinot-type manner and pure. A young and rather cool to drinking pinot for the balcony. 5.15 vvpunkte, 2010-2013. Pinot Noir Barrique 2007


depth nose, reminiscent of a great Burgundy, great flavor. Soft palate opening, full, almost wide, but then are added beautiful tannins and a fresh acidity carrying the red berry flavors well, back to a nice spiciness and a little Lakrizze. Very complex wine. 5.16 vvpunkte, 2010-2015.

2006 Pinot Noir / Dornfelder (50%)
little herbaceous nose, nice fresh fruity palate-opener, it was more mundane aromas with a solid structure. Gerbstoffgerüst good. Vvpunkte 15, 2010-2013.


body Achers wines (rhein-wein@bluewin.ch)

Pinot Noir Steiner AOC Gold Seal 2009
Simple, clear Pinot nose, very typical of the variety, good berry fruit. On the palate, fruity, simple structure, easily digestible with a good glaze. Cool to drinking, uncomplicated Pinot pleasure. 5.14 vvpunkte, 2010-2012.

Pinot Noir Late Harvest 2009
right wood said nose, subtle aromas of Pinot. On the palate, very distinctive, beautiful red berry fruit, moderately complex, but with good Gerbstoffgerüst. Not particularly deep but done very well. Vvpunkte 15, 2010-2014.


Susan and James Windler-dull (+41 52 657 12 12)

Pinot Noir 2008
Rustic smoky nose, quite interesting with a mineral, volcanic note. Good start, a lot of fruit, Gletscherzältli, harmonious acidity, moderate tannin. No paragon of complexity but a very harmonious wine. 15 vvpunkte, 2010-2014. For 12 francs a very good Pinot.

2009 Pinot Noir barrel samples from the expansion
yet coined Gletscherzältli flavors dominate the expressive, fruity nose. On the palate, fleshy, round with very low acidity. Character has less to drink than the '08, rather young. 5.14 vvpunkte, 2011-2013. Also 12 francs, a fair price for a good table wine.


Arnold Deuber ( www.deuber-weine.ch / info@deuber-weine.ch)

Pinot Noir Spätlese 2008
After the first bottle had a cork taint creeping presented the 2nd Bottle much better. Typical Pinot nose, good, fruity palate, medium build, rather rustic but not boring and uneventful with good acidity, and nature reserves. 5.15 vvpunkte, 2010-2014. For about 16 francs a very good value. Pinot Noir Barrique 2008


Clear wood note, a lot of spice, a hint of cassis, white pepper. Great taste, very elegant, classic, good structure, wonderful lively acidity and solid finish. A very characterful Pinot with corners and edges and reserves. Very inspiring. 5.16 vvpunkte, 2011-2017. 25 francs, priced at the upper limit.

Cuvée Primeur (50% Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon 35% Cabernet Franc 15%)
shows in the nose, the slightly herbaceous flavor of Cabernet Franc. On the palate, only a whole load of fruit, then resist spicy at the same solid structure. The wine combines fruit and power exquisitely. Like Enrico Trapletti presses in Ticino top grapes his "Trapletti" in stainless steel tanks and an inter-esting attempt this assemblage the Bordeaux varieties: remove it without wood. Getting used to, but I like it. 17 vvpunkte. 2010-2014. At 20 francs worth clearly a sin.

Le Rêve expanded in 2006
classic Bordeaux blend in the barrel. Coca-Cola very ripe nose tends to oxidize. On the palate, supple, round, more modern looking, again cola flavors (Cola Fröschli) remind me of Bordeaux copies of the new world. A flatterer at the level of a simple, more modern Cru Bourgeois made. To be the dream must, in my view still worked somewhat. The Cuvée Future shows that the facilities were there. 5.14 vvpunkte. 2010-2013. With about 30 francs no pattern.



forest Meier ( www.fasshotel.ch / waldmeier@fasshotel.ch)

presented Unfortunately, the two wines this good is not good from the side. The 2007 Pinot Noir selection was already clear oxidative notes. The 2005 Pinot Noir barrel was definitely well over the zenith and no longer edible.

Whether it's up to the exclusive bottled in half bottles (which are known to mature more quickly) or on the vinification I can not judge. Too bad, these documents might well potential.



Trutmann (info@weinbau-trutmann.ch)

Pinot Noir Selection 2009 (pressed for Schlatter, Hallau)
fresh, berry nose, tobacco note, red berry. Fleichiger, upbeat, very creamy, rather low acidity and moderately strong tannins. A correct Pinot, not more. Drink young and cool. 5.14 vvpunkte. 13:50 francs. Pinot Noir Barrique 2008


maturity nose, cooked berry aroma. On the palate a bit better but also because quite cooked fruit, reminds me a little Pinot Valais. The tannins are fine and soft, the acidity deep right. Vvpunkte 15, 2010-2014. 15 francs.



Richli deer-cellar ( www.richli-hirschen.ch / paul_richli@bluewin.ch)

Pinot Noir Late Harvest 2009
Great berry fruit, fine flavor, slightly smoky, mineral, very deep. Wonderful palate, a bouquet of berries, elegant, spicy, not cooked with good structure with rather low acidity. Very harmonious finish. A nice Pinot with reserves. 5.15 vvpunkte, 2010-2015. For 14 francs a top value.

Pinot Noir Old Vines 2009
Classic, deep Pinot nose, smoky back components. On the palate, intense, a lot of meat on the bones, yet very elegant and very fresh. There is nothing of too much or too little. 16 vvpunkte, 2010-2015. For almost 15 francs a highlight. Pinot Noir Barrique 2008


Wow, a Burgundian nose, deep, smoky, complex, with lovely spicy touch, a little thyme. On the palate, then an explosion of flavors, red and blue berries, spices, pepper, beautifully fresh and mineral, dense and yet not clumsy. Pinot elegance at its finest. This is top! Vvpunkte 18, 2010-2017. For 20 francs an absolute highlight.

Trottenfüür 2009 (Pinot Noir, Cabernet, Merlot)
little herbaceous nose, still very young and impetuous. On the palate, almost sweet-looking candy aromas, plenty of fruit, very round, soft tannins. Quite modern and to me a bit too mainstream. 5.15 vvpunkte. 2010-2014. 17 francs.


wine Schlatter ( Register Right-schlatter.ch / info@weinbau-schlatter.ch)

Pinot Noir Barrique 2009
Herbaceous, slightly reductive nose, a little peat eingies at depth with Burgundian overtones. On the palate, very fruity, lots of red berries, delicate flavor and rather low acidity. Vvvpunkte 15, 2010-2014.

Pinokrat 2007
greasy nose, reminiscent of the Bacon-Snacketti of doubt, do something Lakrizze. On the palate fresh, spicy, very elegant body, good balance of fruit, acidity and tannin, a bit too heavy wood. 5.16 vvpunkte, 2010-2015.

Pinokrat 2009
Berry nose, very alcoholic with hints of Porto, a little banana. Meaty, wide mouth, a lot of power but clearly at the expense of elegance. The acid is low, the wine seems a bit clumsy. Lives of clearly the fruit. 5.15 vvpunkte, 2010-2013.



AAGN - Gysel ( www.aagne.ch / info@aagne.ch)

Pinot Noir Spätlese 2009th
What a lovely Pinot nose, very typical of the variety, fresh, nice flavor. On the palate, lovely fruit, powerful but not coarse, very well balanced with good acidity and a lot of soft, ripe tannins. A top-late harvest combines the elegance and power. Vvpunkte 17, 2010-2016. For 18 francs a bargain. Pinot Noir Barrique 2008


still quite stressed wood nose, nice spice, a little cassis, vanilla, coffee, and thyme. Soft palate opening, smoky, mineral components, lots of red berry fruit very sound structure, vocal, ripe tannins. Another highlight. 18 vvpunkte. 2010-2017. For 23 francs a clear Best Buy.


Keller Chlosterwy ( www.weinkeller.sh / info@chlosterwy.ch)

Pinot Noir Cuvée 2007
sweet, lightly cooked nose. On the palate, slender statute, nice fruit, light oak spice, good melt at rather low tannin. 5.14 vvpunkte. 2010-2013. 26 francs.


Hedinger wine ( www.hedinger.ch / sunneberg.kellerei @ hedinger.ch)

Pinot Noir Tradition 2009
right dark color, nice Beerenaromatik. On the palate, powerful, a lot of fruit, for a Pinot but also quite wide. Good tannic structure. 5.15 vvpunkte, 2010-2015. A nice wine for 22 francs. Pinot Noir Barrique 2008


Very intense woody note which is actually existing fruit marginalized. On the palate, really well structured with robust tannins and acid stimulating but unfortunately too strongly dominated by wood, the fruit is covered completely. Too bad. 5.14 vvpunkte, 2010-2015. 22 francs.

Pinot Noir Edition 2008
makes As expected, the 100% new oak very noticeable. The wine smells only after barrel - a barrel very good indeed - but is far too much. Acid and tannin were there, but the fruit is totally in the background, the wood covers to any Pinot-typicality. For me 14 vvpunkte because überholzt. Oak-lovers should love the wine. 2010-2016. 35 francs.


wine strain ( www.weinstamm.ch / info@weinstamm.ch)

7 Pinot Noir Selection 2007
Very nice nose, a lot of wood but also intense berry note. On the palate, very balanced and well structured. Nice fruit flavors, precise use of wood, powerful but elegant, lovely tannins good acidity. Long finish. A very nice Pinot Noir 17.5vvpunkte, 2010-2017. The 33 francs are appropriate.

No. 9 Pinot Noir Estate Reserve 2007
rather overcooked nose, slightly Porto-like. to drink Very powerful palate, great tannins, very fine, very soft, flattering and comfortable. Aromatic very intense and complex, but for me the overall impression a bit over-the-top - say, a touch more elegance to the wine would do well. Vvpunkte 16, 2010-2014. 45 francs.

4 Pinot Noir Selection 2009
Nice, spicy nose, deep and strong. Very fleshy palate herrilche fruit, not clumsy but perfectly balanced. Not very long in the finish but very consistent. Beautiful wine. Vvpunkte 16, 2010-2016. Much wine for 21 francs.


Lindenhof ( www.weingut-lindenhof.ch / info@weingut-lindenhof.ch)

Pinot Noir Late Harvest 2009
Very nice Pinot aromas, a hint of "green" resonates with what the wine is good stands. Slim prelude, then a lot of spice, some tannin and good acid. The wine has character and reserves, is perhaps a little too tight on the Gerbstoffseite what I like but good. Vvpunkte 16, 2010-2016. Very good wine for 17 francs.

Pinot Noir 2009 7:00 Cepages
typical Pinot nose, lots of spice. On the palate very well, again nice spicy touch, nice berry fruit, lots of character, acidity, tannin structure and fruit all in perfect balance. This is fun. 5.16 vvpunkte, 2010-2016. 20:50 francs for a very good value. Pinot Noir Barrique 2007


first-fragrant floral nose, it also notes of peat and smoke - reminds Talisker Single Malt a. On the palate, soft start, very well structured, lots of body, good acidity and noticeable wood. In leaving something to wood. 5.16 vvpunkte 2010-2017. 24.50 Swiss francs.

Pinot Noir Tête à Tête reductively 2009
legal alcoholic nose, one track. Fetter palate, lots of berry fruit, but too wide, too sweet for a Pinot. Not my thing. 5.14 vvpunkte, 2010-2014. 28 francs.



Baumann ( www.baumannweingut.ch / mail@BaumannWeingut.ch)

Pinot Noir Classic 2008
oxidative light nose but quite deep. On the palate, soft and round with varietal fruit, subtle tannins and good acidity. 5.14 vvpunkte, 2010-2011 drink - should no longer were to be stranded. 24 francs.

Pinot Noir "R" 2008
rather modest, not at all expressive nose, very deep, nice spice, mineral. On the palate, fresh red berry fruit, very fine tannins and stimulating acidity, structure and full of character and good. Still need to find some time to his full balance, however - he will. 5.16 vvpunkte, 2011-2017. 34 francs.

Aan-me 2008 (Pinot Noir)
fruity on the nose as the "R". On the palate with plenty of finesse, very good body, elegant, feminine, but just worked perfectly precise. A wine that is a 2nd View (or swallowing) need to understand it. But then you realize that the individual components fit together perfectly. For me, a tad better than the "R" - or shall we say - a tad different. Vvpunkte 17, 2011-2017.

ZWAA 2007
Beerenaromatik Beautiful, smoky, spicy, very, very Pinot. On the palate, again a beautiful Spice, a little needle wood, then red-berry fruits, top structure, a lot of tannin, high acid fits all balanced beautifully. Wow, nice wine. 5.17 + vvpunkte, 2010-2017 +

Mémoire & Friends 2010 - Part 2

Here are the 2 Part of my impressions of Mémoire & Friends 2010 . Of course these are just snapshots that have come under ideal conditions, not professional. It had many visitors, the wines were mostly already a little too warm and my notes are created in a very short time, so a little less detail than usual.

Cicero, Matt Thomas Mann ( http://www.ciceroweinbau.ch/ )

The Mattmann The 2008
Matt Mann-type sized cassis note falls once more. Very fresh nose, great herb flavor, very deep. On the palate, very well structured with a lovely acidity, lots of spice and melting. Long finish. 17vvpunkte, 2011-2017.

Quinten 2009 (barrel sample)
The nose still strongly influenced by the expansion, lactic notes. Soft on the palate, lots of cooked fruit, plus a nice, peppery spice, perhaps something deep in the acid. Good finish. 5.16 vvpunkte. 2012-2016.


Castle Salenegg ( http://www.schloss-salenegg.ch/ )

Pinot Noir 2008 Salenegg
Beautiful, red-berry fruits on the nose, to the slight Saleneggwürze. On the palate, very fruity with good structure, very fine tannins. The maturity since the last tasting has been good. 5.15 vvpunkte, 2012-2015. Pinot Noir Barrique 2008


right deep, spicy nose, very precise use of wood with an almost Burgundian spice. On the palate, extremely elegant, with solid structure and beautiful fruit. No muscle man but a wonderfully balanced representative Barrique, a stylish charmer. Added since the last tasting also risen. 5.16 vvpunkte, 2011-2016.


Jürg Saxer ( http://www.juergsaxer.ch/ )

Pinot Noir Late Harvest 2009
Expressive nose Gletscherzältli clear flavors, plus a lot of Pinot fruit. On the palate, a colorful mix of red and blue berries, very creamy and very nice to drink. A great drinking pinot of better than 2 degrees was too cold to get as warm in the glass and lives of its beautiful fruit. 5.15 vvpunkte, 2010-2012.

Pinot Noir Tete de Cuvée 2007
pretty stressed wood fragrance, fine Pinot spice. On the palate, soft, ripe, full fruit, the wood is well integrated, great melting. Good finish. Perfectly vinified for me to get a bit modern. Vvpunkte 16, 2010-2015.


Madeleine Saxer ( http://www.saxer-weine.ch/ )

Pinot Noir Selection Old Vines 2009
typical Pinot nose, great fruit, some Gletscherzältli flavors. On the palate, lovely fruit, currants and raspberries, served with good acidity and soft tannins. A great 2009er that comes along amazingly fresh. 5.15 vvpunkte. 2010-2015.

Pinot Noir Barrique Selection 2007
Very stressed wood nose, hints of caramel and chocolate, the fruit in the background. On the palate, meaty, cooked with strong berry flavors. Too wide, too fat, too heavy wood. No elegance. 5.14 vvpunkte, 2010-2016

Pinot Noir Barrique 2008
Significant cassis notes in the nose, plus a nice, fresh flavor. On the palate, great structure, nice berry fruit and subtle Holzaromatik. Much more elegant than the 2007 Selection with medium long finish. Must Pinot taste. 5.16 vvpunkte, 2010-2017.

Pinot Noir Barrique Selection 2008
re-developed in 100% new oak and again dominated the wood a little too much. The balance is better than in the 2007, this 08 looks fresher, has a pleasant acidity, lovely aromas of red and blue berries and fine, ripe tannins. Everything should be better at everything than in 2007 but the wood can be also used subtle. 5.15 vvpunkte, 2010-2017.

Pinot Noir Barrique 2008 Erdwein
Wow, this is fun. The Erdwein was in a barrel, stored, buried 2 meters deep. The wine has a wonderful Beerenaromatik in the nose, combined with a fresh flavor. On the palate with great structure, very balanced aromas of berries and wood flavors, accompanied by one-part acid. All in all, very refreshing. 5.16 vvvpunkte +. 2010-2017 +

Sterno Directions Fondue

dead live longer - Branaire 1994

Today in the glass, since a long time again a '94 Bordeaux. The vintage's not really enjoys a good reputation. Bulky, angular, Gerbstofflastig and the risk of some day to dry out. All that we presented today raises much hope.

Ch Branaire 1994 (St. Julien):


The color is amazing, deep burgundy, still very youthful, almost black in the core.
The nose still somewhat restrained but deeply enjoyable, shows notes of black berries (elderberry), and red berries, this resonates with smoke (like a Talisker Single Malt), black tea, dark chocolate and Lakrizze, some glucose. On the palate, meaty kick, great, red berry fruit, grapes again sugary sweetness and slightly peaty aroma extract, the whole accompanied by strong, angular tannins and crisp acidity. In the finish of medium length, maybe a little mortified.

An unexpectedly beautiful drinking pleasure. The wine is just starting his day. It can be Angegrunken (1-2h decanting pay), but should ideally remain are about 5-8 years. 17 + vvpunkte (90) - 2015-2022 +

Many Was To Masterbait

Talbot 1982, 1982 and Branaire Pontet Canet 1986

A few days ago we enjoyed with Tony three respectively 4 beautiful wines. Two half bottles Talbot in 1982 with a different level and a bottle Branaire Pontet Canet 1982, and 1986th

was interesting to compare it to the very different stages of the two half bottles. Although both Fläschlein was taken from the same wooden box and the same basement level of a bottle against the "mid shoulder" while the other is still full bottle was filled to the neck.

Ch Talbot 1982, lower level, 37.5cl bottle: The wine is much more mature though not at all bad. It dominated tertiary aromas of forest floor, mushroom, cigar box, but to also mocha and some smoke. This Talbot is fully mature and drinking beautifully. He would certainly further 5-10 years to remain at that level. 18.5 (94) vvpunkte. Now until 2015 +.

Ch Talbot, 1982, normal level, 37.5cl bottle: This Talbot presented fresh and alert. Besides the obvious tertiary flavors came out wonderful, dunkelbeerige fruit. He is at the beginning of his finest period of consumption, but has significantly more reserves. 5.18 vvpunkte (94). Now until 2020 +.

Branaire 1982 0.75cl bottle, normal level: I had no great expectations of Branaire 1982nd The joy was correspondingly large, but I could smell this wonderful fragrance. Great Berry fruit, this cigar box, a nice spicy touch and a great surprise for freshness. On the palate, ripe, soft tannins and perfectly integrated acidity and great length in the finish. One of the highlights! Vvpunkte 18 (93). Now to 2015. Ch Pontet Canet

1986 0.75cl bottle, normal level: This wine was very bulky. The nose was extremely interesting, since very smoky and peaty. You have to believe for a moment a Lagavulin in the glass. On the palate it shows yet powerful tannins with medium fruit and a harmonious acidity. He definitely needs more time to become fully ripe, has then scratch but quite isolated in the 18-point mark. 17 + (90 +) vvpunkte, 2015-2025.

Milena Velba Search For Bra

Aurie

Last night I was able to taste the wine shop in Schuer Seewen-Schwyz two new products from Austria. The new wine line called Aurie and is therefore extremely modern in design. The line includes 5 wines, 2 white (Pinot Blanc and GM) and 3 red (Zweigelt, St. Laurent and All Red - a Rotweincuvé). In keeping with modern design, the line also has the innovative Alcoa-glass seal that can be easily opened simply by pressing with your thumb. I have tasted

the Grüner Veltliner and the St. Laurent:

The Grüner Veltliner shows very typical of the variety of fresh, tart, fruity nose, some citrus flavors and hay. The palate is quite broad for a GM but it also very smooth. For my taste the acid is a little too subtle, this wine is extremely drinkable and should be well received by the general public. The wine is vinified perfect and fun. Ideal for a simple drink. 5.15 vvpunkte (84), now enjoy up to 2012.


The St. Laurent presents itself vigorously in the nose, with cool, dark berry fruit, there are many blackberries, black cherries and a little cassis, plus a subtle roasted flavor and a lovely spiciness reminiscent of lavender in late summer. On the palate, soft start, then a lot of meat, great acid-tannin structure, very round, soft mouth feel. In the finish of medium length and very consistent. A very modern, the young wines vinified drinking experience that has carried the ripe tannins and great acidity of certain reserves. It's fun. Vvpunkte 16 (86). 2010-2014

The entire line is available at Schuler.

Whitehall Rowing Boats For Sale

Selection Pinot Nero

Tonight we enjoyed a Pinot from Italy. This much anticipated: a really great wine!

Wonderfully fresh, very typical Pinot nose, red berries, delicate spice, a little bacon, very deep, and with perfect, subtle use of wood. On the palate, round kick, great, typical of Pinot fruit flavors, then top tannin / acid structure and then a fine spiciness. Long, very harmonious finish. Reminds me of one of the biggest names from the Grisons (eg Wegelin Riserva). 5.17 vvpunkte. Now to 2018.

What Does A Hymen Looks Like

Bordeaux 1986

After yesterday's round of Boll bei Bern, here is a little water levels to 1986 ... Ch Brane Cantenac 1986


carmine, significantly lighter border. Fine, warm, fragrant nose, very deep, hints of red berries, coffee, some cassis, clearly Lakrizze. On the palate, surprisingly fresh and fascinating sweetness, nice mature tannins, little dark chocolate, still nice fat fruit and good acidity. Harmonious finish of medium length. 5.17 vvpunkte, for me the pleasant surprise of the evening. now drink up to 2013. Ch Duhart Milon 1986


Still very youthful burgundy. Unfortunately, a very slight cork. Still tasted: the palate is fresh, red berry, very angular. The Ballance between the dwindling number of fruit and tannins is wrong. The wine has to do little meat on the bone, is still 20 years until he is mature and still reach barely a balance. Disappointing. 14.5vvpuntke (thought out the cork). 10 years wait and hope or sell.

Ch Montrose 1986
carmine red, very slightly brighter Edge. Wow, a superb smoky nose, very deep, lots of red berries and cedar wood to the finest cigar box, and later clear coffee notes. On the palate fresh, sweetish start, top structure, again smoky aromas, very balanced with just the right dose of tannin and acidity. The finish is long and pleasant. This wine is drinking beautifully now, and yet another 15 years reserves. 5.18 vvpunkte, now 2025. Ch Lynch Bages 1986


dark, still very youthful color, no trace of age sounds. Also smoky nose, deep, cool, a lot of dark berries, cedar, coffee and eucalyptus. On the palate but a little too rough with a lot of meat on the bones. The tannins are still very present, require more time. In contrast to my last bottle of this wine seems to be less far, still needs some cellar alone. 18 vvpunkte +, antrinkbar up with reserves 2025th Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon 1995

unfiltered,
Medium burgundy, lighter border. Typical Cabernet nose, some cassis, smoky component is also very pleasant though not particularly deep. balanced on the palate great fruit, aromatic, one-dimensional as well but all his colleagues. Medium length, very harmonious finish. A great Cabernet from overseas, who has shown me as a "new-world skeptics that the one they already can make elegant wines. 5.16 vvpunkte, now 2015.

Merci Daniel for the fine dinner and merci Mario, Tony and Daniel excited for entertainment! See you soon!

How Long Do I Need To Book Silversidebeef

water levels Ch Poujeaux 2001

Today in the glass, Ch Poujeaux 2,001th After the rather meager 2002er on the sample at the Dolder Grand Hotel (http://vvwine.blogspot.com/2010/04/bordeaux-arrivage-2007-und-primeurs.html) I wanted to know what Poujeaux well-assessed in the rather weak previous year has brought in the bottle.

Medium ruby red, slightly brighter edge. The color seems to be still young, to a great Bordeaux join the middle class.


The nose is very Bordeaux, extremely fresh, a little wood-weighted, with notes of red berries, a hint of cassis, smoke and cold fresh roasted coffee. A very delicate, feminine first impression.

palate only a medium-strong start, then quickly a great, rich, red-berry fruits. Aromas of red cherries, mocha and a hint of vanilla to mate with a fine spice. At the middle palate shows the tannins, which are of very good quality and already well integrated. The acid is currently still very present, but it fits well into the overall concept.

pleasant long finish.

Poujeaux shows 2001 that may also result in "small years," great wines. He is balanced, delicate and has a beautiful aromatic complexity. The solid structure with a good balance of fruit, acidity and tannin Poujeaux allowed 01 to continue to mature. He is antrinkbar if at least 5 years away from a genuine period of consumption. Vvpunkte 17 (89) - 2014-2022.
