Tasted Monday, September 14, 2015 by Zweder with 380 views
The theme was Pinot noir. At the start of the tasting we were told that in every flight there would be a French, a German and a New World wine. For the rest it was a fully blind tasting.
The bouquet is a bit locked but shows some minerals and red berries. On the palate red fruits and candy-like flavors; cherry candy stick, some acidity and slightly sticky tannin. Clean wine, but quite basic.

In the bouquet red berries, some smoke and a touch of barnyard which blows off. On the palate red berries, cherries, minerals, ok acidity and slightly sticky tannin. Some acidity and bitterness in the finish. Pleasant and elegant wine, but no great complexity in this stage. Possibly with some more years of cellaring, but I am not sure. For now 87.

In the bouquet red forest fruits and cherries. On the palate juicy red fruits, some oak, firm acidity and slightly sticky tannin. Quite basic and compared to the other wines in the flight, this was the least interesting. In my previous note I was a bit too positive.

Beautiful bouquet with red fruits, some spiciness and smoke. On the palate red berries, earth, chocolate, smoke and minerals. Beautiful and complex wine.

Second bottle. Very mature bouquet, a bit dusty and barnyard smells. On the palate quite mature as well, earth, mushrooms, autumn forest floor. Firm acidity and still some tannin, but not completely fresh. No score.

Red berry fruits and some smoke in the bouquet. On the palate red berries, some toast and also some candy flavors, firm but pleasant acidity and medium powerful tannin. Overall a good and tasty wine.

Concentrated bouquet with red fruits, some smoke and acetone. Same on the palate, a high concentration, dark forest fruits, smoke, salty licorice and a firm amount of sweetness. Don’t know what to think. No score.

Beautiful bouquet with red berries, some spiciness and a bit rustic. The same impressions on the palate, some dark berries, toast, smoke and forest floor as well. Good acidity and tannin and a little bit of sweetness. Early maturity now. 89+

In the bouquet red fruits and some mineral impressions. On the palate a lot of sweet and ripe red berry fruits, mild acidity and very round and easy going tannin. A bit too easy and boring, but overall an ok wine.

In the bouquet tea, lovage and autumn impressions. On the palate chocolate, mocha, coffee; quite tertiary. Good and mild acidity and slightly drying tannin. Quite mature and on the palate much better than in the bouquet. Nevertheless a bit too old and, although still lovely drinking, on its way down. No score.

What an enormous surprise was this! Beautiful and mature bouquet with earth, mushrooms, currants and pleasant rustic flavors. On the palate earthy flavors, forest floor, beautiful acidity and a pleasant touch of sweetness and fully integrated tannin. Tertiary, but still very much alive. Really a complex beauty!

As an extra after party wine and an intro to a Pomerol tasting coming soon this 1964 Taillefer and it was a nice surprise. Earthy and rustic bouquet with mushrooms and autumn forest. On the palate earth, mushrooms and ink, good acidity and tannin. Some bitterness in the finish. Tertiary and very mature, but still alive and a real pleasure. Scored it 89 for tonight.

Minerals and that typical Spatburgunder bouquet. On the palate minerals and smoke, some red fruits, earthy flavors, ok acidity and slightly drying tannin. Ok wine, but not really impressive.
