Dagens lunch på MeGa-över-levererande 1-stjärniga L'Effervescence (Tokyo) till tonerna av vårt Chiantirally:
2007 Donatella Cinelli Colombini Prime Donne, Brunello di Montalcino (88p)
Slightly unbalanced w/both alc and acids shining through, quite immature, overly acidic, hollow mid-palate that certainly has the sense of place that is most unbecoming. Please let your btls rest!
Beautifully intense red with slightly maturing rim.
Nose is M- and has some small showing of dark fruit, cherries and wet stones.
In the mouth, this wine has some negative aspects in that the alcohol is not carried well by the young fruit, the acids are sharp and playing their own uncoordinated solo and that the mid-palate is hollow. On the positive side, we find a wine with great intensity, well structured tannins, a long finish and a long future ahead.
It has cherries, structure and ompf but not balance, leather or completeness.
Quite pricey (€30 in shop in Firenze) for what it is, but with some 8-12 yrs of patience, this has a fair chance of hitting its stride.
Wife: 87p.
Part of our DRC collection: "District Rally: Chianti".
Slow-oxed 10 hrs, decanted for sediment.
Funkade bra till maten, inga äktenskap dock. Här några av dagens highlights:
Grön, sval sparrissoppa med bambuskott, specialolja och sötpotatiskroketter med bla TSUBUGAI (ett slags mollusk
).
Huvudrätten: kyckling, omsorgsfullt tillredd. Garnerad med krusmynta, mintolja, smörslungad squash, Myouga, chillipulver och en rik sås på kycklinglever.
Dessert, Namae-sans älskade klassiker: under dadeltäcket gömmer sig kikärter, cappuccino-gelé, dill, getost och lite annat smått och gott. Underbart! Inte ssk sött
Får lov bli iaf bättre viner t middagen.
