Tasted Monday, August 13, 2012 by Zweder with 290 views
We knew the theme, but all wines were tasted blind.
Fresh citrus bouquet with some candy, grasses and yellow sweet apple aromas. On the palate white fruits, banana, yellow apple, pear, tart lime and a little bitterness in the finish. Fresh and tasty wine, not really complex, but certainly a pleasant terrace wine.

Fresh bouquet with blossom, bananas and apricots. Quite intense in the bouquet, a lot of bananas, aromatic, white pepper, well integrated oak and a bit fat. The wine probably needs a few more years of ageing. 87 for now.

In the bouquet ripe yellow fruits and some smoke. On the palate bananas, ripe apples, limestone minerals, tart pineapple and tart apple acidity as well. Little bitterness in the finish. Served cold the wine has some elegance, but when the temperature rises it becomes a bit plump.

The bouquet is still a bit locked and on the palate it is the same. There are some red as well as dark cherries, juicy, mild acidity and round tannin with some bite. Easy going, basic wine.

Bouquet with red as well as black berries, herbs and spices and cherry yoghurt. On the palate a lot of cherries and medium ripe blackberries, garrigue, bell pepper and a touch of oak. There is a lot of fresh acidity and tannin as well as some bitterness in the finish. Correct wine, but not extremely interesting.

The bouquet is still a bit reticent. On the palate a sweet start followed by cherries and red berry fruits, some minerality and the alcohol shows a bit. Probably wise to wait a few years.

Beautiful bouquet which shows a little development and some complexity; rustic, red as well as dark fruits, truffle as well as some spices and perfume. On the palate juicy fruits, beautiful acidity and good tannin with still a bite. The alcohol shows a bit.

In the bouquet some barnyard, red fruits, herbs and a lot of sweet spices. On the palate a slightly sweet start, ripe red fruits, garrigue, white pepper and flint stone. The tannin is supple and there is a firm amount of fresh acidity. Fruity wine with a soft and pleasant mouth feel. Already nice and a future at least until 2016.

In the bouquet some sweetness, celery, tobacco and garrigue, but also still some fruitiness. On the palate juicy, some roasted impressions, soft tannin and just a hint of oxidation. The wine is still nice, but this bottle is slowly on its way down. Drink very soon.

Light brown color. Tea, rust, tobacco and leather in the bouquet. On the palate tea and rust as well. Reductive flavors, celery, old age acidity and some sweetness. This wine is completely over the hill. But…..you can look at this another way as well; if you like the oxidized style e.g. several Jura wines or Madeira, then you probably love this…… Imho this wine is not meant to be drunk in this stage of its life. I don't score it.

Beautiful and complex bouquet with some sweetness, minerals, spiciness and ripe Syrah grapes. On the palate juicy, ripe black fruits, minerals and spiciness. Gripping tannin. Well balanced and nice wine. Will probably improve a bit over the next 3 or 4 years.

Perfumed bouquet. Yellow fruits, concentrated, spiciness, dry honey, some nuts like almond, some limestone minerality. Full bodied a bit fat, rich and tasty. Pleasantly dry. A very nice Hungarian wine.

France, Burgundy, Bourgogne
Special and not particularly pleasant bouquet; hints of cherry yoghurt, bretty and some minerals. This bouquet is the best part. On the palate a bit unfriendly and drying tannin. Out of balance and a short finish.

Fruit yoghurt in the bouquet, some cherries, earthy notes and minerals as well. On the palate cherries, raspberries, some minerals, a lot of acidity, bitterness and sticky tannin. Not an easy pleaser. Very basic, but still ok basic Burgundy.
