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!
