2012 Wittmann Westhofener Kirchspiel Riesling Großes Gewächs Rheinhessen

Dobbeltdekantert og servert 2 t senere. Lett gylden farge. Tropisk nese med mineralsk preg. Etter hvert den gjenkjennelige tutti-frutti tyggegummien som produsenten har. Preg av sitrusfrukter også, som bidrar til en livlig og syrlig aroma. Fruktig munnfølelse også, mye hvit og ren frukt i finish. Lang. Bra konsentrasjon og dybde. Holder seg godt også på dag 2.

Iron and blood, no fruit. Sadly this bottle died within 15 minutes after opening. Bottle no 9411.

Special lot with 25 % riserva. Decanted 3 hours. Cherries and forest floor. Charming with sweet and sour cherry fruit. Strong acidity, solid backbone. Fair length. Better nose than palate. Genuine.

Hasteåpnet etter oppdagelse av lekkasje rundt kork og folie. Gylden gul farge. Ga lite på nese ved åpning. Etter 3-4 t i karaffel får jeg ut aromaer som sjøvann, kalk, lett smørpreg og en dominerende mineralitet. Et svakt hint av nøtter med tid i glasset. På munnfølelsen kommer mineralene igjen og en solid konsentrasjon oppleves, mye grunnet stålsyren. God lengde, leskende avslutning. Borger for et langt liv om de ikke oksiderer. Neste flaske om 3 år. Ypperlig til lettsaltet torsk med baconsmør og gulrøtter.

Har de siste årene vært med i en vinklubb på Fåvang, men tenker å ta et hvileskjær der neste år. Skal da ikke se bort i fra at jeg opptrer et par-tre ganger på Ås!

1995 Lisini Brunello di Montalcino Ugolaia Sangiovese

Garnet red. Didn't give anything upon opening and therefore decanted. A small iron and blood note was detected. After 7 hours this starts to blossom. Ripe cherries, some violets and forest floor. A bit of wood. The acidity is remarkable and the fruit balances this nicely. Powerful, but fully available tannins that ends in a long finish. A mature fruit feeling. Some tea notes along with leather. I think this is still too young for my taste. Needs lots of air. Perfect with venison and mushroom risotto. Next bottle in 5 years.

A very nice bootle of pinot, with a transparent style. Still some closed aromas, but is drinkable. A very good length. Would recommend to save it for 3-5 years.

kfinsrud commented:

2/10/13, 8:50 AM - I've had three bottles of this one since 2010. Gave them some air in the bottle and I felt it was needed. But it was very sensitive of the temperature. If it got over 15 degrees Celcius, it showed unplesant aromas. I will save my last three bottles at least 3 years as you recommend to see if it can develop into something better.
