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!
