Søllerød Kro
Tasted Friday, November 7, 2008 by gorm with 1,412 views
Last friday 4 members of Uncorked DK and a guest got together for a relaxed yet ambitious BYO tasting at Søllerød Kro. In my opinion Søllerød Kro is one of the very best places to eat in Denmark (better than famed NOMA) and it provided a good setting. Unfortunately the service was a bit arrogant, but it did not subtract from the overall experience of great food and extraordinary wines.
This is one of those nights where we tasted some legendary wines which we will remember always, but we did not give out the magic 100 points or come really close. In fact many of the wines seemed very young and tight and best performance were in general given by the oldest wines. Irrespective of points the wines that will stay in the back of my head for a long time to come is 85 Cristal Rose, 90 DRC RSV, 90 Landonne and 82 Mouton.
1985 Louis Roederer Champagne Cristal Brut Rosé 97 Points
France, Champagne
Light peach. Fine and persistent mousse. Delicious nose of raspberries, sour redcurrants, coconut soap and flowers. In the mouth there is more raspberries, bisquits, and with some air sherry and dried orange peel notes. Very intense and very well balanced. One of the top 3 champagnes that I've had.
