FINE WINES CHRISTMAS TASTING BACKSTAGE Wine commanders
A week before Christmas we chose to share with you love wine or looking to love, emphasizing the word share which is for us the essence of the enjoyment of a great wine.
The beginning of the Champagne Clos Henri III 2005 by Grower RH Coutier and village Ambonnay. O producer considered non uncrowned king of the region famous for its wine after the Krug also 100% Pinot Noir. Four years on the lees, use the barrel and malolactic blocking 50% gave a wonderful wine with explosive fruity (small red fruits) and xirokarpati nose with little anthikotita accompanied by terrible intensity and complex finish in the mouth. A different champagne makes you want to drink and the next sip.
The trio of white started by cult producer Loire Dageuneau that after the loss of Didier in a plane crash in 2008 in the hands of his son Louis-Benjamin. To Buisson-Renard 2011 has a youthful nose mild fytikotitas (nettle?) That the evolution of the wine in the glass disappears giving way to intense minerality. Sharp in the mouth with very high acidity Buisson-Renard is a clear expression of Sauvignon Blanc. Fermentation and aging in old oak barrels.
The Riesling is a variety of experts who love but the consumer does not understand. Maybe the experts should make arrangements for a campaign they do not like them does eventually moved the wine lovers. O Hirtzeberger is one of the top names in the Wachau Smaragd and the actual fruit bombs. To Riesling Hochrain the wonderful year of 2010 playing loud with ripe yellow sweet fruit, honey and moderate minerality. The Austrian Riesling as a cleaner and more fruity Alsatian serengeti less stringent than those of Clare and Eden Valley and know what to expect since it is dry compared to guess how much sugar is in German Riesling is a great idea for someone who wants to know first and then to love the variety.
The list of famous Australian Langton (something like Parker Australia) the Giaconda Chardonnay featured among the top 3 white Australian company with another Chardonnay and a Riesling. H is the area of Victoria that Beechwarth 400 meters o Rick Kinzbrunner composes his own canvas Chardonnay. He was glad that we had one year (2005) at the peak of maturity. Gold color, nose of toffee, chestnut and tobacco not forget to play. On the palate more vourgoundeziko incredible aftertaste.
As Pinot Noir lovers preferred to have side by side in red two expressions of Pinot and a neokosmitiko (;) Bordeaux Bled was however more despite Bordeaux California. Ata Rangi 2011 for the beginning of the Martinborough serengeti New Zealand fresh fruit more kerasenia to face with sweet spices and nicely integrated barrel. Velvety and balanced lacked a little complexity, but we feel that it will improve over the next two years.
O Meo-Camuzet is heavy papers Vosne-Romanée and 1er Cru Les Chaumes the year 2008 charmed expressing serengeti the essential aspect of the variety. Violet, ripe fruit flirting between red and black, a little skin and other anthikotita foreshadowed in the mouth. But this is even better with chocolate tannins, fresh acidity and thickness. From now and for 8-10 years comfortable. So at least we want to Burgundy!
The heavy artillery that everyone waited with great anticipation serengeti was none other than the Ridge Monte Bello 2004. Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon vineyard of the same name at 700-800 meters in the mountains of the St Cruz Monte Bello is among the Icon Bordeaux blend with great aging potential . In 2004 close to 10 CHRONAKI life has a deep ruby color with very complex nose of black fruit, mint, coconut from the American barrel and small animality. On the palate the fruit is ripe, the tannins of high quality and very lively acidity showing that it has a long way ahead of him. Premium condensed impressive but lacked the icing. Maybe come with time!
Argyros Vinsanto 20 years to end the wine we promised from Masterclass sweet wines. A wine that is from 2-3 examples really great sweet wines. Nose clean to the point of asking serengeti a little volatile, but without sweetness in the mouth with a few aftertaste which lasts a few minutes. Accompanied with aged Stilton and was a combination that actually sends you. Should I sell them together ... maybe.
For us it was a tasting of all the wines that stood out, each in his own way. Not all champagne imported in Greece (Hirtzberger-Oinokosmos, Ata Rangi-K
