1997 Salon
Doft av äpple, bröd, blommig doft och citrus
Smak: Först smak av äpple, grapefrukt och eftersmak av lime (vassa syror). Med värme i glaset så börjar vinet öppna upp sig och påvisar smak av röda äpplen, sötare grapefrukt, clementiner/mandariner och lätta honungstoner.
Första gången som jag dricker Salon och jag hade väldigt höga förväntningar och jag skall erkänna att första reaktionen var en lätt besvikelse. Insåg också samtidigt att vinet behövde öppnas upp något och lät därmed glaset stå cirka 10-15 minuter innan jag rörde det igen. Med lite värme i glaset så öppnade vinet upp sig och ett antal mer smaker börjar framträda där söta röda äpplen och söt citrus är mest påtagliga. Ett mycket bra vin som jag drack alledeles för tidigt. Vinet anser jag att man bör dekantera om man vill dricka det nu. Min taktik blir dock att glömma resterande flaskor och återkomma om 10 år. Just nu finns det en hel del viner som ligger i en bättre mognadsfas och som ger mig mer njutning.

Domaine Jaeger-Defaix Rully 1er Cru Les Cloux 2010 (torsk i gräddsås smaksatt med lime, citrongräs och ingefära med juliennegrönsaker och ris)
Doftar relativt varm frukt - gula äpplen, gula plommon, lite fatkryddigt, brynt smör, karamelliserat med lite kola, lätt nötigt, metallisk mineralitet
Smakmässigt relativt fylligt och fett med bra koncentration, tydliga men balanserade fattoner och medelsyra.
Gott och tillgängligt. Lite varmare frukt (tänkte snarare 09 än 10). 89p
Passade maten rätt bra (en Riesling av kraftigare slag hade dock nog varit en mer optimal matchning).

Det konceptet fungerade sjukt bra för mig och mina föräldrar i somras; vi köpte enkla middagar (bröd, kallskuret, trevlig ost, osv) på Carrefour och såg till att få med oss en schysst flaska vin varje kväll i ett par veckors tid. Det är rent skrämmande hur länge man kan gå och botanisera bland vinerna på en "vanlig" matbutik.

Kvällens duell blev lite udda - lagade en tempura med räkor, fisk, paprika, morötter och sötpotatis och försökte hitta något passande:
Schloss Proschwitz Riesling trocken 2012: hög syra, inget petroleum, krispig, snäll, nästan intetsägande, men ändå trevlig.
Gold Saiyotsuru sake NV: ingen som helst syra, lite fenoler i doften, snygg komplex smak med blommor och mandel, balanserad sötma.
Så olika att det varken går att jämföra eller sätta betyg. Saken är perfekt till sötpotatis, medan östtysken vinner med räkorna.
Kul!
Jag besökte Domaine Bernard Defaix i somras, var där för att testa och köpa Chablis men de hade ju även annat skulle det visa sig. Frun i huset kommer från en vinmakarfamilj längre söderut i Bourgogne medan maken härstammar från Chablis. Hon har fortfarande kvar tillverkning där nere så hon pendlar mellan Chablis och Rully.
Vi provade nåt vitt från Rully men även ett par olika röda och köpte med en låda 1er Cru Clos de Chapître 2012 som var riktigt trevlig.

Turgy 2008, igen en riktigt bra flaska, utvecklas väl med luftning. Släpps i BS för 379SEK får väl ses som köpvärt. 21,50€
Leclapart Apotre 2008, stram med tydlig syra som rundas av med luftning. Otroligt lång smak. Behöver lagras 3-4 år för att komma till sin fulla rätt.
Leclapart Astre 2010, 100% PN, prodution 2000 flaskor. ser ut som en ljus rose! Återhållsam, underbar doft som är betydligt mer utvecklad än smaken. Påminner om Selosse Le Bout du Clos (Ambonnay). Båda Leclaparts champagner är helt fantastiska, en av de absolut bästa odlarna.
Philipponnat Blanc de Noir 2008, vi blev mycket positivt överaskade av denna, underbar doft och en härligt kittlande syra.
Chasse Spleen 1975, klar tegelröd färg, doft av jord, aningen stall samt mörka bär, lång och balanserad, söt smak av röda bär. Har passerat sin topp men håller fortfarande ihop bra. Mycket trevlig Bordeaux!

Ja, såg att övriga viner att välja bland var Chabliser (dessvärre inte några av deras röda Bourgogner). Kul att du besökt dem. Lär kör Rullyn på glas på jobbet i Januari.

Grattis till en trevlig erfarenhet och ny bekantskap! Salon är en snarstucken och högfärdig rackare som behöver mycket tid, först i källaren och sedan i (den öppna) flaskan/karaffen/glaset! Men så blir man ju också rikligt belönad för sitt tålamod. Personligen tycker jag att 97:an är helt fantastisk nu - betydligt mer tillgänglig än både 96 och 99 - men man bör givetvis ge den en hel del luft först! Jag tror dock inte den kommer bli lika långlivad som ovanstående årgångar och tycker inte du ska vänta tio år till du testar nästa flaska. Även om den sannolikt kommer vara underbar även då!

Astre låter spännande. Jag har haft väldigt svårt för Alchemiste och är glad att Léclapart bestämt sig för att göra något annat, och som det låter bättre, av sin Pinot Noir. Är det första årgången av Astre?
Jaha, fler nyheter. När började Philipponnat göra en blanc de noir? Pris? Spännande!

Epernay, Frankrike
2010 är första årgången av Astre, full av charm och som redan nu har en fantastisk doft. Lätt att gilla!
2008 är premiärårgång för PN, kostar ca 46€ i det prisläget finns mycket trevliga hampagner att handla, men några flaskor bör man ha av denna.
2008 som årgång fortsätter att övertyga helt fantastisk!
Var jobbar du?
Jag har för mig att du nämnt det tidigare och att det inte är i Stockholm men mer än så kommer jag inte ihåg...
Funderar du på nån Chablis från Defaix kan jag rekommendera deras Côte de Léchet som stack ut när jag provade

Nope, inte Stockholm. Stångs Magasin, Linköping. Tack för tipset.

FLIGHT 1 - CHAMPIS(2 NOTES)
- 2002 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut93 Points
France, Champagne
Fairly light color. Extremely distinct and focused nose. Lots of yeast, but a very fresh kind. Flowers, bread, water crackers and a parade of different green apples. But there is also a steely, wooly minerality. High acidity, quite round though. Lots of fruit and a just a tiny hint of sweet. Amazing length and intensity. Out of the 3 vintages of cristal I've tried before (1981 & 2000) this is by far the best.

France, Champagne
Big and vocal nose with distinct maturity. Flowers, jasmine, vanilla, yellow apples and some yeast. Tasted slightly too warm, so the acidity probably felt lower than I suppose it was. Good long dry finish and good intensity. This is very good for just under 40€.

- 2010 Fontodi Flaccianello della Pieve Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT92 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Colli della Toscana Centrale IGT
This is a really tough wine! Nose is quite open with lots of cherries, chocolate, plums and some hints of green. Medium+ acidity a medium body with a very dry finish and grippy tannins. Great intensity and length. The harshness had me fooled for a Piemonte Nebbiolo. Will probably need another 7-10 years in the cellar, but my guess is this is always be a wine for the fans of tannins!

- 2007 Pasanau Priorat Finca La Planeta91 Points
Spain, Catalunya, Priorat
Less warmth and fullness than I would have expected from a Priorat. Nevertheless a really nice wine! Love the coolness. Nose is very fruity with ripe fruit, sweet morello cherries, blackberriesand hints of barnyard and roasted oak. Rough and a little unpolished on the palate with good intensity and length. Dry, tannic finish and a little salinity.

South Africa, Coastal Region, Swartland
WOTN for most of tonight's participants! Tons and tons of pepper, meat, sausage, dark fruit, blackberries, a little blackcurrant. A deep and complex nose! Very dry with a medium+ acidity and a medium body. Great length and intensity. Even though it feels young it has impeccable balance and feels extremely well made. Had most of us fooled for a Northern Rhone, Côte-Rôtie.

- 2010 Domaine du Colombier Hermitage91 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
Very enjoyable nose with good complexity. Hints of syrah spices, liquorice but also lots of fruit, blackberries and a blackcurrants. With time and temperature it gets more dominated by oak aromas and wood. High aciditym very dry tannins good intensity and length. Definitely needs a few more years on its back, but well enough open to drink now.

- 2006 Fratelli Revello Barolo Vigna Giachini91 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
Very nice, quite light but at the same time modern Barolo. Lots of cherries, oak, a little perfume, tar, roses, mint, tobacco and more cherries. Medium body, distinct nebbiolo tannins and a very long finish. I like this as the candy perfume is less pronounced but it's not overly fruity.

Big open, quite complex nose. Dark brooding fruit, plums, sweet cherries, blackberries, meat, chocolate, tobacco, herbs and lots of vanilla and dill. This speaks Spanish! Full bodied, medium(-) acidity very fruity, but not without structure and tannins. High intensity and good length. Maybe not my favorite style, but a good quality wine. Will keep my second bottle for at least 3-5 more years.

Incredibly funky nose brimming of raw meat, steak tartare, herbs, brett, rubber and cherries. High acidity, but very round and smooth with almost no tannins to speak of. Sweet fruit and a good length. Very fun to try, would have liked a bit more structure on the palate though!

- 2006 Pegasus Bay Riesling89 Points
New Zealand, South Island, Canterbury, Waipara
Very interesting to try! Did not know that there were any Rieslings with residual sugar outside of Germany. It is not terribly sweet at all, just hints of sugar rounds of the high and tart acidity. Good complexity on the nose with flowers, redcurrants, freeze dried raspberries, rubber, petroleum, honey and orange zest. Slightly fizzy feel. Good and tasty stuff!

Brilliant for its price! (150SEK, 15€). Quite oaky with some vanilla fudge, morsels and walnuts. Lots of fruit, cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants and plums. Inky fruit on the palate with round tannins and good intensity. Decent length and a dry finish. Nice!

- 2010 Oddero Barolo92 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo
This is crazy dry, no sweet fruit in sight! Nose is red berries, cranberries, lingonberries and wolf berries. There's the so typical Barolo flowers, roses and hints of tar. High tart acidity, with very dry tannins. Great intensity. Feels very fresh, but this is not a wine for the weak!

- 2005 Château Fayau90 Points
France, Bordeaux, Entre-Deux-Mers, Cadillac
Not the sharpest of mind when this was opened. Botrytis, saffron, apricots, almonds, and brown sugar. Very sweet with a decent acidity. Creamy texture and good intensity and length. Nothing overly complex, but what a wonderful style of wine! Will revisit the bottle in a day or two.

Portugal, Península de Setúbal, Setúbal
The idea to finish a tasting with a fortified wine is as brilliant as it is reckless. Lovely stuff! Nose is big, open and inviting. Oxidized aromas of nuts, apples, raisins, figs, candied sugar and toffee. Intensely sweet (probably around 300g/l) with a great depth and good acidity. Finish is everlasting!

- NV Frank Cornelissen MunJebel Rosso 984 Points
Italy, Sicily, Sicilia IGT
I have to give it a few points for originality and a good intensity, but this is not a pleasant wine! Would almost say it's completely out of balance. Nose is incredibly funky with tons of brett barnyard, rubber, smoke and rubber. Behind that there is a couple of layers with red yeasty fruit and spices. Good complexity and so far so good! The problem is the palate. Slightly fizzy and ticklish on the tongue with high, sharp acidity and raw, completely unpolished tannins, both woody, stalky and seedy. Finish is long, but that's no comfort when all you want to do it get it out of your mouth. Might be that I don't understand or haven't gotten used to this type of "Vin Nature", but I can't see why this is anything special. It's just a raw, harsh half done wine. Would love to give it another try though under better circumstances.

Skönt att få lite noter äntligen. De första flighterna är jag helt med dig på, de andra minns jag knappt, dessutom verkar jag ha supit bort mitt anteckningsblock. Gillade möjligen Hermitagen något mer än dig, men Mullineaux'n kunde jag svurit på att det var en Côte-Rotie av hög klass.

Very enjoyable nose with good complexity. Hints of syrah spices, liquorice but also lots of fruit, blackberries and a blackcurrants. With time and temperature it gets more dominated by oak aromas and wood. High aciditym very dry tannins good intensity and length. Definitely needs a few more years on its back, but well enough open to drink now.

Very nice, quite light but at the same time modern Barolo. Lots of cherries, oak, a little perfume, tar, roses, mint, tobacco and more cherries. Medium body, distinct nebbiolo tannins and a very long finish. I like this as the candy perfume is less pronounced but it's not overly fruity.

Big open, quite complex nose. Dark brooding fruit, plums, sweet cherries, blackberries, meat, chocolate, tobacco, herbs and lots of vanilla and dill. This speaks Spanish! Full bodied, medium(-) acidity very fruity, but not without structure and tannins. High intensity and good length. Maybe not my favorite style, but a good quality wine. Will keep my second bottle for at least 3-5 more years.

Incredibly funky nose brimming of raw meat, steak tartare, herbs, brett, rubber and cherries. High acidity, but very round and smooth with almost no tannins to speak of. Sweet fruit and a good length. Very fun to try, would have liked a bit more structure on the palate though!

Very interesting to try! Did not know that there were any Rieslings with residual sugar outside of Germany. It is not terribly sweet at all, just hints of sugar rounds of the high and tart acidity. Good complexity on the nose with flowers, redcurrants, freeze dried raspberries, rubber, petroleum, honey and orange zest. Slightly fizzy feel. Good and tasty stuff!

This is way past its peak. Oxidized nose mainly consisting of brown apples, caramel, nuts and tobacco. Low acidity, full bodied ok length. Won't rate as this might be pre-oxed.

Berries, strawberries, cherry kernels, liquorice and green stalks. Round and fruity with some tannins. Modern style, a tad simple. But didn't give it that much time unfortunately.

Brilliant for its price! (150SEK, 15€). Quite oaky with some vanilla fudge, morsels and walnuts. Lots of fruit, cherries, blackberries, blackcurrants and plums. Inky fruit on the palate with round tannins and good intensity. Decent length and a dry finish. Nice!

This is crazy dry, no sweet fruit in sight! Nose is red berries, cranberries, lingonberries and wolf berries. There's the so typical Barolo flowers, roses and hints of tar. High tart acidity, with very dry tannins. Great intensity. Feels very fresh, but this is not a wine for the weak!

Not the sharpest of mind when this was opened. Botrytis, saffron, apricots, almonds, and brown sugar. Very sweet with a decent acidity. Creamy texture and good intensity and length. Nothing overly complex, but what a wonderful style of wine! Will revisit the bottle in a day or two.

The idea to finish a tasting with a fortified wine is as brilliant as it is reckless. Lovely stuff! Nose is big, open and inviting. Oxidized aromas of nuts, apples, raisins, figs, candied sugar and toffee. Intensely sweet (probably around 300g/l) with a great depth and good acidity. Finish is everlasting!

I have to give it a few points for originality and a good intensity, but this is not a pleasant wine! Would almost say it's completely out of balance. Nose is incredibly funky with tons of brett barnyard, rubber, smoke and rubber. Behind that there is a couple of layers with red yeasty fruit and spices. Good complexity and so far so good! The problem is the palate. Slightly fizzy and ticklish on the tongue with high, sharp acidity and raw, completely unpolished tannins, both woody, stalky and seedy. Finish is long, but that's no comfort when all you want to do it get it out of your mouth. Might be that I don't understand or haven't gotten used to this type of "Vin Nature", but I can't see why this is anything special. It's just a raw, harsh half done wine. Would love to give it another try though under better circumstances.

Gone todash....
Var Odderon köpt här på Bolaget? Man blev ju lite sugen på att köpa några och jag ser att de har 2009an så är det 10an man får när man beställer 09an eller var den köpt utomlands? Tänk att man bor i ett land där man måste ställa sådana frågor för att veta vad man får när man beställer en specificerad vara.......

Avstod från vinfernot i Götlaborg, vilket jag är glad för när jag läser @Matlen s kommentar. Ägnade istället lördagen åt att bygga ett pepparkakshus "the Empire Cake Building".
Borde kanske ha gjort ritningar först.
Avslutade kvällen med Vilmart Coeur de Cuvee 2004 till hustruns vällagade torskrygg.
Vilmarten borde också ha legat på rygg några år till.

Måndagkväll med ångad torskrygg, fläsktärningar, brunsås och potatismos. Vad dricker man till det? Det vita förrådet är ytterst begränsat och flickvännen vägrade dricka grüner veltiner, så det fick bli rött:
Ridge East Bench Zinfandel 2012: Doften är vanilj, vanilj och åter vanilj, smaken däremot är blåfruktig, lite pepprig, syra och tanniner i balans. Funkade dock helt perfekt till maten. Det här skulle nog ha behövt lite mer tid i källaren och lite mer tid i karaffen, men det är helt klart att Ridge gör bra grejor. Zinfandel kan vara gott.
Produttori del Barbaresco Riserva Montefico 2007: Doften har nästan allt: körsbär, mandel, kakao, örter, sardeller och mineraler, lite åt bourgognehållet. Rejält med syra och tanniner men väl integrerat, körsbären finns där, men är inte överdrivna. Intensiv frukt och jäkligt elegant. Däremot funkar den inte till fisk.
Till maten vinner East Bench överlägset, när maten är slut blir förhållandet det helt omvända. Monteficon är ett klart bättre vin. Bägge vinner på lagring, men är ända jättegoda nu.
