Introduction
Every participant had to bring a wine of the theme. We did not know which wines were brought by the others. All wines were tasted blind, also without knowing when the wine you brought yourself was poured.
Flight 1 (13 Notes)
Closing
What a feast it was!
Thank you Joram!
2010 Château Corbin St. Émilion Grand Cru 93 Points
France, Bordeaux, Libournais, St. Émilion Grand Cru
Second time within a month I taste/drink this wine. The previous note was not a blind note. The one below is a blind note and the wine came from another source. In the bouquet dark chocolate, licorice, dark berries and a little celery. On the palate dark berries, meaty, licorice, laurel, savory and chocolate. Good acidity and firm tannin. A lot of power for many more years of ageing.

Still a slightly purple hue. In the bouquet still a bit locked but there are red and dark berries, sweet spices and sweet licorice.

2010 Château Duhart-Milon 94 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
The bouquet is still locked but shows beautiful dark berries and oaky flavors. On the palate the wine shows dark berries, some cherries, leather, luxurious oak and cedar, juicy acidity. This is a very luxurious and still very youthful wine. Waiting another 5+ years will be rewarded with even more finesse and complexity I suppose. 93 – 95
