Snak

Har drukket 3 Earth´s End 2012 de sidste par uger, og den bliver bare bedre for hver flaske. Virkelig vanedannende og rigtig god til kylling.

Tak til denne geniale tråd og Seifert :)

I går også:

2012 Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Roseneck Riesling Katerloch Trocken

Den skuffede mig lidt. Første flaske Leitz jeg prøver. Især duften virkede mærkelig flad. Smagen var egentlig ganske fin og mineralsk som god riesling, men lidt kedelig. Måske jeg skulle have givet den mere luft? Fik ca 30 min i karaffel.

Amoureuses 2009 smagte jo fremragende i sidste uge, så jeg ville hoppe om bord i dem.

Det var primært 11´ere fra Cote de Beaune i går (rød Beaune - clos de mouches, Volnay, rød Meursault, rød Chassagne). Lidt specelt da det er primært de hvide der excellere her.

Jeg syntes de 11´ere vi smagte i går manglede balance og frugt. Det virker det som om der blev høstet for tidligt eller bare manglede modenhed?

Har selv nogen 11´ Bertheau liggende og som Seifert siger tror jeg ikke jeg åbner village niveau før om 2 år. Åbnede en Bertheau village da vi kom hjem fra ferie i Maj. Den havde brug for lidt mere tid - men stadig god, let og elegant chambolle. Glæder mig til at tjekke ind med dem senere.

Hvid 11´ viste sig rigtigt fint med gode friske vine med god lagringspotentiale..
De røde 12´ere jeg har smagt indtil videre, primært Nuits St Georges har jeg syntes rigtig godt om. Masser af åbenhed og god stuktur.

Tak for svar.

Og sorry - jeg skulle selvfølgelig have specificeret, hvad der var tale om:

Bl.a. Nuits-St-Georges, Clos des Argillieres, 1er Cru, Rion

Er det ved at være tid?

Læste det som Bertheau 2009.

Rion er en noget mørkere stil, så det ville jeg gemme.

Producent, producent, producent!

Jeps, det har du ret i.

Har en enkelt Bertheau Chambolle liggende, så den må snart lade livet.

Bedste røde bobler nogensinde. Frugtfylde og skøn nærmest sour cherry-syre, som leder tankerne henimod sur Stjerne-Mix. Og så har man endda selv overnattet på stedet og hjembragt flasken:

Det er sgu lige før jeg svinger mig op til et:

Lidt om NZ-pinot vs rød bourgogne:

In TONG 19-NEW ZEALAND, which is almost ready to go to print, Benjamin Lewin MW writes about the different Pinot Noir styles in the country´s different regions: "For all the differences between New Zealand’s Pinot-producing regions, a certain commonality is evident. Central Otago may be the fruitiest in style, and Marlborough may be fleshier than Martinborough, which has the tautest structure, but all this is within a more fruit-forward style than Europe. Fruits are usually the dominant impression in young wines, and it is relatively rare for a wine to require much, if any, ageing after release. Pinots today are far distant from the stereotype of heavily extracted New World wines, yet they show youthful exuberance rather than the austerity one might anticipate from cool climates. It would be a mistake to judge potential quality on the basis of entry-level wines, which unsurprisingly rarely rise above the level of interest appropriate for immediate consumption. Wines at the estate level have levels of extract that would often be envied in Burgundy, yet only sometimes achieve the character that is needed for real interest. It is certainly a different story at the level of single-vineyard wines, where not only are there many insights into Pinot typicity through reflections of terroir, but the best become increasingly interesting as they age for a decade or two. One problem outside New Zealand is that the export market is dominated by the estate wines; your chance of finding one of the really interesting single-vineyard (or reserve) wines is rather slim. Another impediment to judging potential quality is the youth of the vines (exacerbated by the fact that the oldest vines are from the poorest clones); most vineyards have only just passed the stage where clonal specificity has begun to give way to site specificity. Nor is the extent of vintage variation always appreciated. It is certainly less extreme than in Europe, but is more significant than most consumers realise. Also, climatic conditions in New Zealand’s Pinot-producing regions show little consistency within a vintage, and a good vintage in one region may be difficult in another."
