Introduction

As we did not receive the mature wines we had ordered in time, we had improvise a bit.

Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2007 Jacques-Frédéric Mugnier Nuits-Saint-Georges Clos des Fourches 89 Points

    France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Nuits-Saint-Georges

    Clear, ruby colour. Aceton, earth and raspberry candy on the nose. Quite closed now. Very structured, good acidity and some tannins. Very long taste. Young wine, good aging potential.

  • 2001 Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Castello di Brolio 86 Points

    Italy, Tuscany, Chianti, Chianti Classico DOCG

    Very dark and deep colour. Oaky nose. Also some chocolate, coffee and dark berries. Full-bodied and intense on the palate. Still quite some tannins. Very dry, woody finish. Not very much like a Chianti, international style.

  • 2000 Château Leret-Monpezat Cahors 87 Points

    France, Southwest France, Cahors

    Dark and tight colour, some orange edge. Aroma of meat, rusty iron and wet fur. Medium body, fleshy, smooth and rather dry. Nice, rustique style. Probably at it's best now.

  • 2004 Cabutto Barolo Tenuta La Volta Vigna La Volta 90 Points

    Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo

    Quite light and clear brick. Perfumed aroma, coctail berries and raspberries. Full-bodied, nice, deep fruit. Very dry finish. Lots of tannins. Very young now, great potential. Will wait 3-4 more years before I try it again.
