Just Bought

It seems like I have had a one track mind lately when buying wine. Another 1964 Barolo arrives, this time in the shape of a 1,75 liter bottle.
Bu I can´t be blamed - next year it is time to drink all these 64´s I have gathered through the years.

If I was to open this and pour it into the Riedel Sommelier Grand Cru Burgundy glasses, the bottle would suffice for two glasses...

Seven Impressions of 2010 Chianti

The last couple of weeks I have opened some 2010 Chianti´s for weekday dinners. It seems like - based on this small collection - that this is a vintage for early drinking and that they will deliver drinking pleasure from day one even, though the better ones will improve some the years to come.
There will surely be some Riservas that hasn´t been released yet that will contradict this statement, but for now these 2010 Chianti´s is fine bottles of food wines.

2010 Chianti Classico, Terreno
This Swedish owned estate produce a light and easy going Chianti in the lower price range (11 Euro). The nose is open and fresh with low keyed notes of lingonberries, red cherries, gravel and a touch of dry cookie dough.
The taste is slim, straight forward and fresh with notes of lingonberries, dried cherries, cigarette ashes and gravel. A touch one dimensional, but with a bowl of pasta on a weekday it works well.
81p   (tasted 2013/10)

2010 Chianti Classico Riserva Rocca Guicciarda, Barone Ricasoli
A light, fruity, fresh nose with notes of chocolate covered cherries, fudge, liquorice and some saw dust. The cool,, nice cherry fruit comes forward with air. Good.
The taste is young, tight and drinkable with notes of cherry pips, black tea, dark fudge and some violets. A medium long, fresh finish. Good. For the short to medium term.
84p   (tasted 2013/10)

2010 Chianti Classico Riserva, Brancaia
A big, tight, fresh nose with lovely notes of red and black cherries, pomegranate, blood orange peel and some cigarette ashes. Young, complex and enchanting. Very, very good.
The taste is young, seedy and crisp with notes of ripe red cherries, liquorice, black tea, violets and forest floor. A long, refined finish. Finely polished tannins. Very young. A fine mouth feel. This is going to be even better in 3-5 years.
89p   (tasted 2013/10)

2010 Chianti Classico, Isole e Olena
A young, cool, elegant nose with notes of red currants, red cherries, balsa wood, almond flakes, black tea and expensive soap. Very pure and fine. More almond paste after a while. Very, very good. Needs time to open up in the glass.
The taste is young, seedy and racy with notes of cherry pips, lingonberries, liquorice, tea leaves and the same soapy - in a positive sense - note as on the nose. Slender tannins. A long, fine finish. Could be drunk now but will surely improve over the coming 2-4 years.
90p   (tasted 2013/10)

2010 Chianti Classico, Castello di Fonterutoli
A young, toasted nose with notes of black cherries, saw dust, chocolate covered cherries and some vanilla pods. Too much candy at the moment.
The taste is medium bodied and tight with notes of black cherries, dark chocolate, cherry pips and a medium long, warm finish. A bit ungainly. This need time to shed the oak, but I venture that the fruit will be gone when that happens.
76p   (tasted 2013/11)

2010 Chianti Classico Berardenga, Fèlsina
A cool, spicy, fresh nose with notes of red cherries, dried rosemary, road dust, liquorice and some undergrowth. Christmas spices. Very good.
The taste is young, tight and a bit four squared with notes of chocolate covered cherries, dried herbs and Christmas spices. Lots of cherry pips. A long warm finish. Will hopefully get things more together in a few years time.
85p   (tasted 2013/11)

2010 Chianti Classico Riserva Ser Lapo, Castello di Fonterutoli
A deep, fine, elegant nose with notes of sweet/sour cherries, rosemary bushes, balsa wood, liquorice, black tea and a Tuscan gravel road. A fine intensity and balance. Very, very good.
The taste is cool, refined and spicy with a pure Sangiovese fruit paired with some notes of rosemary, tea and gravel. A fine high acidity. Cleans the mouth effectively. Long and fine. This is really good, and will get even better in the years to come.
91p   (tasted 2013/11)

Drinking Tonight - 2005 Saint-Joseph, Domaine Mucyn

With some BLT sandwiches for dinner I opened this bottle from, for me, a new acquaintance.

2005 Saint-Joseph, Domaine Mucyn
A slim, mature, warm nose with notes of red currants, frozen raspberries, meat stock, old rubber, dried herbs and a touch of white pepper. Rustic in a good way. Some depth. Very good.
The taste is medium bodied, rustic and warm with notes of red currants, blueberry bushes, dried herbs and undergrowth. Easy going and enjoyable. Fully mature and drinking well.
85p   (tasted 2013/11)

Then & Now - 1970 & 2009 Château Petit-Village

Château Petit-Village is an 10,5 ha small estate just next to La Conseillante , Vieux-Château-Certan and Certan de May. In 1919 The Ginestet family bought the estate, the first right bank negociant that bought a property in Libournais. 70 year later AXA bought the estate and they are the current owners.

In the 1956 frost almost whole of the vineyard was destroyed and in the following replanting  Cabernet Sauvignon made up the most of the vines. That have been changed over the years.
The wine is now made up of 75% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Franc and 7% Cabernet Sauvignon. In David Peppercorns book Bordeaux from 1991 he states the blend as 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon.
And he calls the 1970 "rather moderate"... Clive Coates writes that it is "not a wine with a great deal of power but a most attractive, elegant, balanced bottle."Lets see for myself...

And the label of the 1970 is so much more beautiful than the new one, right?!
More info here.

1970 Château Petit-Village
This 43 year old opens a bit shy right out of the bottle. With air it opens up nicely with notes of mature red currants, plums, mocha, orange peel and some earthy/truffle aromas. Very nice. Lots of autumn leaves and some canned mushrooms. A lovely maturity. Not that deep and complex, but laid back and companionable.
The taste is ripe, round and mature with notes of plums, red currants, cold coffee and undergrowth. A nice austerity in the finish. Needs food. There are some dried strawberries here as well, resembling a mature Burgundy from time to time. Very, very good.
88p   (tasted 2013/11)

2009 Château Petit -Village
This youngster opens up with a big, upfront nose full of sweet black plums, blueberries, liquorice, herbs, dark fudge and some flowery scents. Deep and complex. Very, very young. Sandal wood. A velvety touch to the fruit. This has potential.
The taste is young, tight and promising with notes of sweet red currants, plums, blueberry soup, dark chocolate and warm tiles. A very long, warm finish. The tannins are polished and the fruit is the front seat of the taste. I would guess that needs 4-6 years in the cellar to get (even) more drinkable. A very nice warmth. Very, very good.

Five Vintages of Gruaud Larose

Yesterday I hade the opportunity to taste five vintages of Gruaud Larose. It is always a treat to get to taste great Bordeaux, especially in this case when vintages from 4 decades was on the table.

David Launay, general manager, presented Gruaud Larose and the wines with flair, passion and humour.

janake winegroup arranged the tasting.

2005 Larose de Gruaud
The Larose de Gruaud is the second wine of Gruaud Larose. Gruaud have been making a second wine since 1865, quite a achievement!
The nose is open, upfront and lovely with juicy black currant fruit and additional notes of new leather, tobacco, coffee powder and a nice perfumed note (and that perfumed note did go through all of the wines as you can see below). Very good.
The taste is younger, fresh and with a nice backbone. Notes of sweet black currants, dark fudge, tobacco and lead pencil are noticeable. A medium long, balanced finish. This is drinking fine now but could be kept for 10 years.
90p   (tasted 2013/11)

1975 Château Gruaud Larose
This old timer was served out of a double magnum. The nose is round, mature and delightful with notes of ripe plums, old leather, cigar ashes and autumn leaves. Very good. Some fresh stables notes arises from the glass after a while.
The taste is mature, tight and a tad dry with notes of plums, black currants, cigar ashes and earth. A little hollow in the middle. This should be drunk, even from this bottle size.
86p   (tasted 2013/11)

1989 Château Gruaud Larose
1989 was a great Bordeaux vintage and Gruaud Larose delivers the goods. The nose is deep, round and semi mature with notes of dark plums, sweet black currants, graphite, expensive leather and a lovely perfumed note. Very, very good. Sweetened coffee.
The taste is semi mature with a luscious sweet fruit, integrated tannins and a good acidity. Fine notes of black currants, plums, dark chocolate and autumn leaves. A fine tight core. Very fine. Could be drunk now or cellared for 5+ years.
92p   (tasted 2013/11)

1998 Château Gruaud Larose
The 1998 was the weakest bottle in the line up. The nose is tight, hard and a bit four squared. There are some good notes of black currants, tobacco and the same perfumed note as in the others, but the structure is rigid and withdrawn.
The taste confirms the nose, with a tight, seedy fruit, high acidity and tannins that outlast the fruit. With some food this will surely behave well but on its own, and in this company, it is one dimensional. I don´t think it will get better with age.
80p   (tasted 2013/11)

2000 Château Gruaud Larose
A deep, pure, elegant nose with notes of red and black currants, plums, leather, dark chocolate and the lovely Gruaud perfume. Very, very good. A fine intensity.
The taste is still young with a fine sweet black currant fruit and notes of tobacco, sugared coffee, lead pencil and moist earth. Very intense and promising. A long, long, balanced finish. Give this 7+ years in the cellar.
91p   (tasted 2013/11)

2005 Château Gruaud Larose
The 2005 Gruaud Larose is a stunner! This youngster shows class from start to finish. The nose oozes up from the glass with lovely aromas of ripe black currants, expensive leather, pipe tobacco, fresh stables and lead pencil shavings. Velvety and every nut screwed in the right place. This has stunning potential.
The taste is concentrated, focused and tight with gorgeous fruit, a glorious structure and a ravishing purity. Buckets of sweet black currants and dark plums intermingled with pipe tobacco, new leather and graphite. Seamless. The finish goes on and on. Give this 8+ years. This will turn out exceptional. And even today it is impossible to resist. The man from Monkton dropped the ball on this one - 89p? Baaah!
95p   (tasted 2013/11)

Just Bought

This can´t be good - turning on of the freshly received bottles and it looks like this.
But I will make a casserole this weekend so it will come in handy...

Happily doesn´t the rest of bottles look like that. More 64 Barolo! :-)

Drinking Tonight - 2009 Yalumba FDR1A

After yesterdays tasting dinner, my body needed a few hours recovery...

But as this day went by my spirits returned and I made some home made burgers for dinner and thought I would open something completely different this night.

In 1974, Yalumba created a Shiraz/Cabernet blend that were given a really sexy name... - FDR1A - short for Fine Dry Red 1A. This night it was time for the 35 year younger version.

2009 Yalumba FDR1A
A big, voluptuous, sweet nose with lots of jammy blackberries, black cherries, red licorice, eucalyptus, dark chocolate and tapenade. Deep, big and brawny. Very good. Calm down a bit with air but this is something of a brute, but a nice one at that...
The taste is big, intense and mouth filling with notes of vanilla infused cherry pie, dark chocolate, licorice, balsa wood and some cigar ashes. The finish is long and full of extract, power and alcohol, but it keeps in nicely in check. With the moist burgers it was a nice match.

Notebook Number 32 & Looking Forward To Tomorrow

I have just opened my new notebook, number 32 since I started taking notes in 1991. I wonder which good, great and gorgeous bottles of wines that will be noted down between these binders?

The first notes will be from our tasting group semi annual tasting dinner, held tomorrow. Me and Håkan are responsible for the dessert, which will be a Tatin of Pear with Roquefort Ice Cream and a Caramel & Pear Sauce.
With that dessert we will open three bottles of sweeties - hopefully great ones! :-)

Here are some of the previous dinners we have worked us through:

A Hard Guessed Theme For A Tasting

It was Rodericks turn to host our monthly get together. He said that we should keep an open mind regarding the theme. In spite of that, no one was even close...
After reading the tasting notes below, what would you have guessed?
All wines tasted double blind.

2000 Solengo, Argiano
A big, warm, fine nose with a hint of maturity and notes of sweet black currants, herbs, menthol, sweet black tea and some undergrowth. A tad oaky on the nose. The fruit is warm and fine.
The taste is big, warm and steady with notes of red and black currants, graphite, herbs, cigarette ashes and a touch of mint. A long, broad finish with a nice warmth. Very good. Got better and better through the evening.
90p   (tasted 2013/11)

2001 Old Vines Grenache Blewitt Springs, Clarendon Hills
Something was wrong with this bottle. I have enjoyed Blewitt Springs many times, which started with the 1995 a long time ago. This is unbalanced, light and smells of band aid, dry lingonberries and rotten vegetables (but not in the good way as in a venerable old Burgundy...).
The taste is mature, foursquare and very warm with notes of lingonberry jam, band aid and moist earth. A long fiery finish without balance. Not good.
?   (tasted 2013/11)

2002 Shafer Relentless
This, on the other hand, is a stunner. The nose soars up from the glass with lovely aromas of black currants, blackberries, cherry truffels, violets and a touch of toothpaste. Very deep, complex and hedonistic. The fruit is sooo velvety. Very, very good.
The taste is big, tight and potent with notes of black cherries, blackberries, dark fudge, some mint and cigar ashes. The finish is long and intense with some hefty tannins in the end. This is still on its way up, give this baby another 5+ years.
93p   (tasted 2013/11)

2001 Numanthia
A big, warm, concentrated nose with notes of red and black currants, lead pencil, expensive leather, cigarette ashes and a touch of coconut. Racy and fine. This has had some expensive oak treatment. Very, very good.
The taste is tight, intense and focused with notes of sweet black currants, leather, freshly grounded coffee and violets. Big, finely polished tannins. The finish is long and intense. This is really good!
92p   (tasted 2013/11)

2003 Philip Togni Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
This must be a Bordeaux, right?! The verdict on this was quite unanimous - a really fine bottle of Bordeaux. But of course it wasn´t...
The nose is just gorgeous with its tight, multi layered character and notes of black currants, graphite, tobacco, sugared coffee and a hint of clean stables. Very complex and fine. A touch of salty minerals.
The taste is tight, focused and marvellous with notes of black currants, leather, autumn leaves, lead pencil and tobacco leaves. The finish goes on for over a minute. A lovely coolness to the fruit. This leaves a distinctive mark in my memory. Still young.
95p   (tasted 2013/11)

2004 Kaesler Old Bastard
If I wanted to smell and drink Cherry Heering I would buy that... A big, over the top nose with notes cherry jam, dark chocolate, vanilla pods and warm undergrowth. A touch of orange juice, which I always get in those power houses. Not for me, although I can get why it is attractive to some.
The taste is enormous, smoky and fiery with notes of really sweet cherries, licorice, vanilla pods, raspberry jam and chocolate. Like drinking motor oil. A few sips are enough. They have given it all they got, and in a sense it has qualities but in an other sense its quite one dimensional. Last time Roderick opened an Old Bastard it was the 2001 in 2011. I gave that one 85p, this gets
86p   (tasted 2013/11)


Ok, any guesses? Since it was so much black currant aromas in the wines and since the glass number 5 was a dead sure Bordeaux, I guessed Cabernet based wines from various districts, naming a few...
But as you can see, that was not right..

Any guesses?

They have all got a 95p score from Parker... He got one right, that´s something...
Good one, Roderick! :-) Next time...

A Savigny Sunday

I opened these two bottles for lunch last Sunday. The Jadot wine went very well with a seafood terrine and the bottle from Bize accompanied a chicken casserole perfectly.

2010 Savigny-les-Beaune Clos des Guettes, Louis Jadot
A light, fresh, elegant nose with notes of shellfish shells, yellow apples, almond paste, cold butter and some summer flowers. Very good. With air it fattens up and some vanilla fudge notes emerge.
The taste is young, tight and racy with notes of yellow apples, lemon cream, almond paste and minerals. A long, fresh finish with a good acidity. This is drinking well today but will surely evolve the coming 5+ years. Well worth the 27 Euro price tag.
89p   (tasted 2013/11)

2010 Savigny-les-Beaune Aux Vergelesses, Simon Bize
Right out of the bottle this is open for business with its lovely raspberry fruit, fresh herbs and rosehips notes. But it only takes 30 minutes for it to close down pretty good. And then I have to wait a couple of hours before the sweet fruit reemerges. It have then become darker, with some red and black cherry aromas, dark fudge, wet rocks and a finely perfumed note. This will need time in the cellar.
The taste is young, seedy and tight with notes of ripe raspberries, black cherries, warm earth, smoke and some fudge. Very pure and fine. The finish is long, dry and focused. A really fine acidity. When the Sunday almost have passed this still behaves youthful. Give this 5-7 years in the cellar before doing the deed.
90p   (tasted 2013/11)

On a much sadder note, Patrick Bize died a couple of days ago. I have had some really fine bottles of wine from his hands, Savigny´s from Aux Vergelesses, Aux Guettes and Les Serpentiéres from the 80`s and 90`s, all great wines with distinction.

Oh La La - Nine Vintages of La Landonne, Guigal

It was time. Nine bottles of La Landonne from Guigal had been opened hours before and for some of the vintages double decanted hours before the first pour. Everyone smelled perfect, not a single cork damaged wine in sight - thankfully!
Here is the background to the tasting. One of the original cellar members couldn´t make it so we invited a couple of other interested parties. We were six around the table, a perfect number in that you can go back and taste the wines again and again during the evening.

The first flight was impressive, but flight two was really an embarrassment of riches - my lowest score in flight two was 96p! :-) Would love to do a similar tasting of La Mouline (usually my favourite of the three cuvées) and La Turque - but I guess I have to go out and rob a bank before that will be a reality...

Flight I
1996 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
A gorgeously deep, meaty nose with notes of blueberries, dark cherries, raw meat, bakelite, wet earth and lightly crushed white peppers. Just beautiful. With air notes of resin and dried flowers emerge. Even though I know that this is a 100% Syrah wine, it feels like there is some Viognier here.
The taste is tight, intense and peppery with stunning blueberry and blackberry fruit intermingled with notes of crushed white peppers, violets, meat and undergrowth. A plus minute long finish with a lovely warmth. Perfectly polished tannins. A stunner.
96p   (tasted 2013/10)

1994 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
This 91 point wine is the slouch in whole line up - that is the class of these wines. The nose is deep, somewhat mature and cool with notes of red currants, sweet lingonberries, violet pastilles, dried flowers and asphalt. Medium deep and fine.
The taste is tight, peppery and medium bodied with a good amount of tannins still and notes of lingon- and blueberry bushes, cherry pips, veal meat and autumn leaves. The finish is long and finely balanced. This is in my opinion fully mature and if you have any, drink them.
91p   (tasted 2013/10)

1993 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
The supposedly weak bottle in the line up - 86p by Parker - showed, yet again, why ratings should be taken with a grain of salt - except mine of course. :-)
The nose is deep, a tad mature and nicely balanced with notes of red currants, blueberries, autumn leaves, dried flowers, veal meat and a touch of mint. Complex and fine. A laid back mature sweetness. Very, very fine.
The taste is medium bodied and mature with elegant notes of blueberries, grilled meat, balsa wood, dried flowers and autumn leaves. Long and fine. There is a coolness to the mature fruit that makes it fresh and lively. Should be drunk before 2020.
92p   (tasted 2013/10)

1980 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
Given this blind - the others tasted single blind but I knew the order of the bottles - I would never had guessed it to be 33 years old. The nose flows up from the glass with stunning notes of ripe blueberries, grilled meat, old expensive leather, rubber and a perfect autumn walk in the woods. Amazing power and freshness given its age. Great!
The taste is big, round and tight with notes of blueberries, dried herbs, leather, violets and some crushed black peppers. The finish is long, intense and warm. Some dried flowers in the end of the finish. Very balanced. This should easily live for another 10-15 years, based on this bottle.
94p   (tasted 2013/10)

Flight II
1992 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
A deep, intense, spicy nose with a hint of maturity and lovely notes of fresh blueberries, raw meat, violets, resin, dried flowers and wood smoke. So, so fine. Some cigar ashes after a while. Deep and profound. Just stunning.
The taste is tight, potent and concentrated with juicy notes of white peppered meat, violets, blueberry pie, rubber and dried flowers. The finish is plus one minute long with an amazing elegance and focus. The tannins holds a firm grip on the end of the finish. I think this has hit its plateau of evolvement but will surely stay there for 10+ years.
96p   (tasted 2013/10)

1995 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
A semi young, deep, spicy nose with notes of cool blue- and blackberries, matchbox, veal meat, raspberry truffles, crushed white peppers and a touch of banana peel. Complex and stunningly beautiful. Handsome. This has more to give. Impressive.
The taste is tight, black and sooo intense with notes of sweet blue- and blackberries, crushed white peppers, violet pastilles, grilled meat and some rubber notes. A long, long finish with some sturdy tannins. Evolves all night long and the final sip is all about lightly white peppered raspberries - simply divine.
97p   (tasted 2013/10)

1997 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
A young, potent, dramatic nose with notes of sweet black cherries, violets, resin, chocolate cherry truffles and a whole moist autumn forest. Very deep and tight. This is still very young. Needs a lot of time to really open up. A impressive structure.
The taste is like a steamroller in the mouth with sweet fruit, tight tannins and a fine acidity in perfect harmony. Wonderful notes of black peppered meat, blueberries, sage, violet pastilles, dark chocolate and a touch of resin. The finish goes on seemingly forever. This needs +5 years to really unravel, but then it will be a perfect specimen.
97p   (tasted 2013/10)

1998 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
This perfect specimen will also surely evolve more over the coming 10+ years, but when perfection stares you in the face, you just got to surrender.
The nose is bottomless deep with hauntingly beautiful notes of sweet blueberries, veal meat, violets en masse, rubber, pinewood and a stunning perfumed note. This has to be smelled to be believed. Words seems so inadequate. Perfection in a glass.
I sometime use Braodbents expression of an "iron fist in a velvet glove" to describe a great taste, and the 1998 La Landonne could be the poster child for that taste. So good that it almost bring tears to my eyes. Impressive notes of blueberries, black cherries, crushed black peppers, violet pastilles, grilled meat, mushrooms and asphalt. The finish goes on for over two minutes. Still not fully matured, this will evolve slowly over the coming 10-15 years. I guess that the only thing that could compare with drinking this wine would be this...
100p   (tasted 2013/10)

1999 Côte-Rôtie La Landonne, Guigal
The nose on this masterpiece is a masterpiece in itself - the notes of dripping sweet blueberries, violets, dark chocolate truffles, summer flowers, mushrooms and some tarry aromas is just marvellous. So deep, so complex and so utterly hedonistic. Still very young, but absolutely impossible to resist today.
You have to pour some of this elixir over your tongue to believe how good it is. There is an awesome structure and inside the frame of that structure there are masses of sweet fruit, hand polished tannins and a fantastic acidity. Pure, sweet notes of blueberries, blackberries, violets, veal meat, rubber, matchbox and pinewood. The finish goes on for minutes. This will surely hit perfection in 5-10 years time but for know it is as close as one can get...
99p   (tasted 2013/10)

Drinking Tonight - 1983 Château Labégorce Zédè

Sometimes my craving for a mature Bordeaux overwhelms me. Tonight was such a night. I thought that this 30 year old bottle from Margaux would do the trick.
Broadbent gives it very high praise, 4 stars in 1999, and so do Coates, saying that it will live through to 2013. What a coincidence - that is now! :-)
Lets see for myself. The cork is a bit fragile and breaks in two. But the wine, the wine...
Info here.

1983 Château Labégorce Zédé
Freshly poured from the bottle it is quite barnyardy. With some air that calms down and fine notes of ripe black currants, old leather, lead pencil, coffee powder and wood smoke emerge from the glass. An intoxicating aroma of mature Bordeaux fills the nostrils, just the thing I was aching for tonight.
During dinner it evolves some more and a beautiful laid back black currant sweetness oozes up from the glass.
The taste is beautifully mature with a balanced structure, a round, soft mouth feel with notes of red and black currants, lead pencil, sugared coffee, autumn leaves and warm tiles. Even though it is rather soft it ends with a fine dry rigor. Mature Bordeaux is the perfect food wine, not overpowering, nicely balanced and leaves the mouth clean for the next bite and sip.
83 Labégorce Zédé hits all the right spots this night. This was caught in a great moment in time.
