Snak

Jeg er meget i tvivl om hvordan den vin egentlig vil udvikle sig. Den er fantastisk med sin ekstreme grønne urtethed... men det er også til det ekstreme og det kunne være fint om den kunne smide lidt af det og finde en smule charmerende sødmefuld frugt frem som Clos Rougeard ofte har i andre årgange.
Jeg er bare ikke sikker på at den nogensinde vil gøre det og at den frugt der trods alt er vil miste pusten hurtigere end det grønne element/syren.

2009´erne skulle være fantastisk, desværre ikke frigivet endnu.

Kunne være sjovt at se den fulde liste over hans samling.

Norup - smider du et par ord når du får smagt Myglands 12?

Kom i tanke om et par alternativer med ´burgundisk´ snit:

Prøv Vacherons røde fra 2011, det er dejligt saftigt og mineralsk Pinot.

Og så fik jeg smagt Pencarrow Pinot i 2012. 13% modsat 14 fra året før kan virkelig mærkes. Intet brænder på tungen i denne årgang og den slutter med den herligste syre.

Alt fra Laudrup. (Hjemmesiden opdateres, så kan ikke linke)

Det lyder lovende, den glæder jeg mig til at få fat i!

De sidste par dage har stået på en masse hvide asparges og skaldyr hjemme i køkkenet, så derfor en masse hvid Bourgogne:

2011 Vincent Bouzereau Meursault Village
Det er bare helt klassisk Meursault med "fed" gul frugt, citrus og mineralsk finish.

2011 Vincent Bouzereau Meursault Les Narvaux
Fremragende Lieu-dit på village niveau. Lige en tand skarpere, ren og mere sprød... også mere nuanceret citrus og mineralitet.

2011 Ramonet Chassagne-Montrachet 1. Cru Les Caillerets
Holy fuck det smagte godt... efter 30 min i karaflen stak den helt af med klassiske Ramonet nuancer af anis og fennikel sammen med chassagnes gule frugt pakket med citrus. En flaske jeg blev fuldstændig høj af!!
Fuldstændig fantastisk sammen med hvide asparges, kammusling, rejer m.m.:

Igår en omgang helt klassisk moules mariniéres:

2011 Vincent Dauvisat Chablis 1. Cru La Forest
Dauvisat står for mig nærmest som sådan det HELT klassiske Chablis. Selvfølgelig hyper mineralsk/stenet og pakket med citrus. Med alderen vil der selvfølgelig komme noget mere fedme, men det er nu også fantastisk med noget ungdommeligt vildskab som i denne.

2011 Sebastian Magnien Meursault Les Meix Chavaux
Ved sgu ikke rigtig med ham her... det smager jo mere af Chablis end af Meursault. Nogle af de unge gutter i Meursault jagter sgu friskhed og et mineralsk snit for meget... der skal altså være noget fedme i sådan en Meursault. Når det er sagt, så er det en fremragende vin og gik perfekt til muslingerne. (og den billig)

Bliver sgu helt Bouzereau-tørstig. Må hellere få nappet et par flasker plus Kutch - som kommer i dag?

Lidt blandede WSET-noter (Bordeaux):

2012 Baron Philippe de Rothschild Mouton Cadet Bordeaux AC Sauvignon Blanc (12%)
The wine is clear and bright with pale lemon green colour and legs.
The nose is clean and youthful with medium intensity aromas of green- and citrus fruit (granny smith, grapefruit, lime) with floral and herbaceous hints (elderflower, grass).
The wine is dry on the palate with high acidity, no tannins, medium- alcohol, light body and medium- intensity flavours of simple green- and citrus fruit (underripe green apple, lime) plus a grassy, herbaceous note. The finish is medium long.
It is an acceptable quality wine with fresh acidity, but the varietal characteristics are rather simple and dilute, the acidity sharp rather than crisp, resulting in a slightly unbalanced wine overall.
Drink now: not suitable for ageing. The fruit flavours are too simple and fragile to develop into anything interesting. The remaining fruit will fade away over the next 12 months.
The wine is mid-priced and 2 years of age.

2011 Chateau Carbonnieux Blanc Pessac-Leognan GCC (13,5%)
The wine is clear and bright with medium lemon colour and legs.
The nose is clean and developing with medium+ intensity aromas of green- and citrus fruit (granny smith, lime juice) with oak-notes (vanilla, smoke) and a hint of autolysis (lees).
The wine is dry on the palate with high acidity, no tannins, medium+ alcohol, medium+ body and medium+ intensity flavours of granny smith apple, lime juice, oaky vanilla and autolytic lees. Silky mouthfeel, medium length.
It is a very good quality wine with crisp acidic structure (no malo), delicate flavours of fruit and oaky complexity, but the finish could be longer lasting. Can drink now, but has potential for ageing. The wine shows enough substance (fruit concentration and acidity) to last at least another 5-8 years, which will allow the oak to integrate better with the delicate fruit and some tertiary complexity to develop.
The wine is premium-priced and 3 years old.

2010 Chateau d’Armailhac Pauillac GCC (13,5%)
The wine is clear and bright with deep ruby colour and presence og legs.
The nose is clean and developing with medium+ intensity aromas of well-defined black fruit (blackcurrant) with additional notes oak and minerality (cedar, vanilla, graphite) plus slight hints of herbaceousness/under ripeness (blackcurrant leaf, green bell pepper).
The wine is dry on the palate with high acidity, high level of fine grained tannin, medium+ alcohol, full bodied and medium+ intensity flavours of blackcurrant, cedar, graphite and blackcurrant leaf. Balanced mouthfeel, long finish.
It’s an outstanding quality wine showing typicity, good concentration of fruit, fine structure (acidity/tannins) and well integrated alcohol. Can drink now, but has potential for ageing. The wine has enough substance (fruit concentration + acidic/tannic structure) to last 10 years at least, which will allow tertiary notes to develop and tannins to smoothen further.
The wine is premium-priced and 4 years old.

2010 Chateau Olivier Pessac-Leognan GCC (14,5%)
The wine is clear and bright with deep ruby colour and presence of legs.
The nose is clean and developing with medium+ intensity aromas of ripe black fruit (blackcurrant, black plums) with additional notes of pungent spice, dried herbs and oak (liquorice, tobacco, vanilla - resp.).
The wine is dry on the palate with high acidity, high level of ripe tannin, high alcohol, full body and medium+ intensity flavours of blackcurrant, black plums, liquorice, tobacco and vanilla. Smooth mouthfeel, followed by alcohol heat and dry tannins. Long finish.
It a very good quality wine with excellent high quality fruit flavours, oaky complexity and excellent length, but the alcohol is not fully integrated. Can drink now, but has potential for ageing. The wine shows enough substance (fruit concentration and acidic/tannic structure) to last at least 5-8 years, which will allow tertiary notes to develop and tannins to smoothen further.
The wine is premium-priced and 4 years old.

2010 Chateau Clos de L’Oratoire GCC (14,5%)
The wine is clear and bright with deep ruby colour and presence of legs.
The nose is clean and developing with pronounced intensity aromas of ripe black and candied fruit (black plum, blueberry, candied cherry), marked florality (violets) and hints of dried herbs, kernel and oak (tobacco, coffee, caramel - resp.)
The wine is dry on the palate with high acidity, high level of ripe tannin,medium+ alcohol, full body and medium+ intensity notes of black plum, candied cherry, violets, cigar box, caramel and mocha. Smooth mouthfeel, followed by fine, tea-like tannins on the long finish.
It’s an outstanding quality wine showing good concentration of well-defined fruit, elegant florality, oaky complexity and well-integrated alcohol. Can drink now, but has potential for ageing. The wine has enough substance (from fruit concentration and tannic/acidic structure) to last more than 10 years, which will allow tertiary notes to develop and tannins too smoothen further.
Premium-priced, 4 years old.

2010 Chateau La Croix de Gay Pomerol (14,5%)
The wine is clear and bright with deep ruby colour and presence of legs.
The nose is clean and developing with medium+ intensity aromas of ripe black fruit (black plum, dark forest fruit) with additional hints of oak, kernel, animal and VA (cedar, dark chocolate, meatiness, nail varnish remover – resp.).
The wine is dry on the palate with medium+ acidity, medium+ level of ripe tannin, medium+ alcohol, full body and medium+ intensity flavours of ripe black plum, bitter chocolate, cedar and meatiness/barnyard. Smooth mouthfeel followed by only slightly drying tannins on the long finish.
It’s a very good quality wine with very concentrated ripe fruit, oaky complexity and integrated animal notes, but perhaps lacking something in terms of finesse. Can drink now, but has potential for ageing. The wine has enough substance (fruit concentration and tannic/acidic structure) to last at least 5-8 years, which will allow tertiary notes to develop.
Premium-priced, 4 years old.

2010 Baron Philippe de Rothschild Mouton Cadet Bordeaux AOP 13,5%
The wine is clear and bright with medium ruby colour and presence of legs.
The nose is clean and youthful with medium- intensity aromas of simple black fruit (blackcurrant, blackberry) and hints of herbaceousness and oak (green pepper, blackcurrant leaf, cedar – resp.)
The wine is dry on the palate with medium+ acidity, medium+ level of (slightly green) tannin, medium alcohol, medium+ body and medium intensity flavours of simple blackcurrant, green pepper and cedar. Medium length.
It’s a good quality wine with good typicity of generic red Bordeaux and a good overall balance, but the fruit is of simple quality and the wine is not very complex. Drink now, not suitable for ageing. Though the wine has concentration of fruit and tannic structure to keep another 2-3 years in bottle, quality will suffer with steadily fading fruit.
The wine is mid-priced and 4 years old.

Hvad vil du egentlig bruge det WSET til ?

Flotte noter i øvrigt.

Og selv en meget god og klassisk årgang har Bordeaux i dag 14,5 % alkohol...

Mouton Cadet undtaget... men der jo også en masse umodne druer i sådan en omgang saft.

"Hvad vil du egentlig bruge det WSET til ?"

Stiler i første omgang ikke efter andet end de resterende eksaminer (frem til juni 2015) - og så må vi se, om vinbranchen og jeg kan finde noget fornuftigt at bruge hinanden til :-)

Ja, det er noget værre noget med Bordeaux og de alkoholprocenter!
Flere noter følger i de kommende uger (fra hhv. Sydvestfrankrig, Bourgogne, Alsace, Loire, Tyskland). Hvis nogen gider læse dem ;-)
