Labert. Det bliver jeg da nødt til at smage.

Fedt at flere gange destillation = krop - altså, jeg har endnu tilbage at opleve decideret ´krop´ i vodka, og har da trods alt smagt lidt forskelligt.

Den er meget blød og fyldig. På ingen måde skarp og sprittet. Noget af fylden kommer vist fra den maltede byg, så vidt jeg kan forstå. Og måske fra den "manglende" filtrering (som er muliggjort pga de mange gange destillation)

Ok, sådan har jeg hverken fået Grenache eller sydafrikansk vin før:

Die Sadiefamilywine, Soldaat, Grenache 2012.

Minder om en blanding af Rayas´ Pialade og noget ... hmm, Nebbiolo? Det sidste kun fordi jeg aldrig har smagt sure, nærmest umodne kirsebær i en Grenache før. Men det er fandeme lækkert, og uden Nebbiolos til tider parfumeret trøflede nuancer. Det er helt rent, det her.

Saftig karakter, men helt uimodståelig syre. Sidste glas klart det bedste. Ryger på karafel næste gang.

Lækkert

Apropos Rayas, så har jeg lige fået fingrende i en flaske 2007 Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape

Jeg smager i øvrigt gerne den vodka sammen med dig.

Nogen der har smagt:

Bliver skamrost i GASTRO... men de lukker sgu så meget lort ud.

Jussi
Har du modtaget din sending chasselas? Mine er ikke dukket op endnu... De tåler velsagtens en 7-8 graders frost, så mon ikke vi slipper for slush-wine?

Nej, skulle lige til at spørge dig om det samme ...

Jeg skrev til dem i går desangående, men har endnu ikke fået svar...

Hvor er sød vin dog billigt på auktioner.

Lige købt lidt forskelligt Alois Kracher. Bl.a.:

2002 Alois Kracher #10 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese Zwischen Den Seen
Austria
Source Reviewer Rating Maturity Current (Release) Cost
Wine Advocate #160
Aug 2005 David Schildknecht 98 Drink: N/A $92 (92)
#10 Scheurebe Trockenbeerenauslese Zwischen den Seen – yes, it’s the third wine this vintage with the same designation – has only 6.5% alcohol and is one of the most amazing elixirs of Scheurebe ever captured in bottle. Pineapple, tangerine, grapefruit, peppermint, honey, distilled black fruits, herbal essences, and sheer ethereal botrytism soar from the glass. In the mouth this is virtually gelatinous – in fact, more like an Esszencia even than the 2003 #1 – with a totally uncanny sense of lift and lightness. Sheer material density and searingly high acidity are tamed like the fable unicorn. Red and black fruit distillates, herbal/floral essences, deep, rich nut oils, generously juicy citrus .. all that and more is in the finish. This combines the sheer essence of Scheurebe found in #5 with some of the transmogrified, mysterious depth of #6, plus the ineffable character of an Esszencia.

2002 #12 is a libation of Scheurebe and (20%) Welscheriesling that never achieved the 5% alcohol to officially become “wine.” Indeed, “it” was time and again refused authorization to label because it seems there is nothing one can say about it that won’t fly in the face of some law or another. (The EU provided a special dispensation to Hungary for the labeling of Tokaji Esszencia as “wine,” but no such exception has been envisaged for any other member state.) Kracher’s penultimate plan of desperation was to label it – a la Magritte – “No Wine.” When that received the governmental slap-down, it became simply “#12”. Given the limbo status of this libation – and given that I am only just debuting in the pages of this celebrated journal devoted to “wine” – I could legally duck responsibility to rate “#1”. Furthermore, it practically goes without saying that this elixir is embryonic, and hiding more – for all of its intensity and virtually endless length – than it shows. And did I say it’s been in bottle one week? It smells of honey, white raisin, and above all peach and apricot essence. It is virtually gelatinous and, amazingly, not at all cloyingly sweet on the palate, on the contrary its rapier penetration of a finish is only possible thanks to a level of acidity that pushes residual sugar off the radar screen and leaves this taster totally enervated. But there’s no point hoping to get turned on by my poor prose: you just need to taste this. Talk about early days: there is still some CO2 palpable trapped on the thick palate! (P.S. About these ratings: As I have no track record in that regard, I can only seek to assure you that I shall resist grade inflation with all of my intellect, so don’t suppose you are likely to see 98-99 points from my pen very often).

250-300 kr. pr. flaske!

Mas Oller Pur 2011 er sgu en glimrende køb til prisen. Lak, brombær, lakrids og måske lidt eukalyptus. Afbalanceret, blød og alligevel med struktur.

Fik den til en gryderet.

Skal drikkes til solid kost den type vin. Den er jo egentlig ret frisk i smagen og heldigvis uden kvalmende sødme som man ofte finder i det prisleje.

I glasset:
2002 Domaine Francois Lamarche Echezeaux Grand Cru
Stadig ret mørkt. Ganske åben og generøs aroma med noter af kirsebær, hindbær, asiatiske krydderier og et lille strejf af vanilje. Stadig ung, men meget velafbalanceret. Let mineralsk karakter i frugten med hindbær, krydderier og let jordede nuancer. Mangler en helt simpel charme, men noget mad senere vil helt klart løfte den. En vin der på mange måder fint viser at Echezeaux burde være klassificeret som rigtig god 1. Cru... (prisen er da heller ikke voldsom)
