Introduction

We all had to bring one or two wines of the theme. We did not know which wines were brought. All wines were poured fully blind, also not knowing when your own wine was poured.

Flight 3 (3 Notes)

  • 2013 Johanneshof Reinisch Gumpoldskirchner Tradition 82 Points

    Austria, Niederösterreich, Thermenregion

    This wine is a blend of the rare grapes Zierfandler and Rotgipfler. In the bouquet green apples and some pineapple. On the palate a bit fat, some yellow fruits like pineapple, ok acidity and grapefruit acidity and bitterness. Has length. Correct wine although I am not a great fan.

  • 2011 Nikolaihof Neuburger 84 Points

    Austria, Niederösterreich, Wachau

    Yellow fruits and spiciness in the bouquet. On the palate yellow fruits like ripe pineapple, mango, peach and litchi. Some minerals. Mild acidity and bitterness. Dry. It sounds better than it is, because the acidity lacks freshness and that keeps the score low.

Flight 4 (1 Note)

Flight 5 (2 Notes)

  • 2012 Domaine de Truchasson Côtes-de-Duras 82 Points

    France, Southwest France, Côtes-de-Duras

    In the bouquet red cherries and some rustic impressions. On the palate jammy red fruits like strawberry and raspberry, a bit vegetal. There is some acidity but it lacks freshness. I was not impressed, but according to the group a good party- or BBQ wine.

  • 2006 Domaine de Vaccelli Ajaccio Tradition

    France, Corsica, Ajaccio

    Very mature bouquet with a lot of herbs and spices and some barnyard. On the palate herbs, metal, rust, high acidity, some oak and soft tannin. The wine is past its prime and not really a pleasure anymore. No score.

Flight 7 (1 Note)

  • 2011 Neiss Katzenstein Syrah 87 Points

    Germany, Pfalz

    Smoky bouquet with red and dark berries and some minerals. On the palate the same fruits, smoke and minerals, chocolate and soft acidity and tannin. German Syrah! Result of global warming? Definitely not a bad wine.
