Introduction

all bottles are being tasted blind and only after guesses by the attendants - the wine is revealed.

Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 1995 Clos des Papes Châteauneuf-du-Pape 92 Points

    France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape

    blind tasting;
    light red-brown color, brown rim;
    wonderful secondary & tertiary aromas of leather & spices;
    tannic, balanced, still very enjoyable inspite that the wine is over its peak; long after-taste, a real pleasure.

  • 2002 Mas Martinet Priorat Clos Martinet 91 Points

    Spain, Catalunya, Priorat

    blind tasting;
    red-purple color;
    wonderful leathery smoky aroma of a mature wine, more Riojan than Priorat!;
    full-bodied, tannic, harmonious, long after-taste - a good surprise.

  • 2003 Feudi di San Gregorio Taurasi Flawed

    Italy, Campania, Taurasi DOCG

    strong stinky smell that didn't leave the wine; also unpleasant taste; seems a clear case of TCA.

  • 1996 Château Calon-Ségur 90 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe

    Blind tasting; bottle was opened just before the tasting;
    light red-brown color with brown rim;
    Strong green herbs aroma that softened a bit during 30 min - this wine require a pre-opening of few hours; very tannic & green in taste; a classical Saint Estephe.
