2009 Domaine des Terres Roties (Jean-Paul Brun) Côte-RôtieSyrah more |
5/4/2013 - hennlund Likes this wine: NRDeep red. Lovely, concentrated aromas of dark fruit/blackberries, pepper, minerals and earth. Full, yet juicy mouth feel, excellent acids, moderate tannins and long finish. Excellent wine, and one of the few occasions that I have been impressed by a Syrah. Drunk with entrecote of deer from the charcoal grill. |

2003 Roagna Barbaresco PajèNebbiolo more |
5/1/2013 - hennlund wrote: NROne and a half year since the last bottle. I wrote then that I wondered if it had reached it's peak. Now I'm not so sure. This time I experienced it as a very elegant wine. It opened up quite a bit after a couple of hours in the decanter, aromas are flowery, rosy, some tar, earth etc, but not overwhelming. Quite smooth mouth feel, good acids, obvious but balanced tannins. The food was a (fore)leg og lamb that had been on the charcoal grill at los heat for six hours. It was lovely, and the match was great. Meat and wine enhanced each other. |

4/8/2013 - hennlund wrote: NRCompared to the 2001 drunk a few days before, this has much more in it and better potential, I think. Lovely Nebiolo aromas, quite full bodied and well structured with tannins that make themselves felt. |

1971 Giacomo Borgogno & Figli Barolo RiservaNebbiolo more |
12/31/2012 - hennlund wrote: NRFirst time I have tasted a Barolo this mature. Light brick red colour. Lovely aromas of mature Nebbiolo, not opulent but growing in complexity during the evening. Elegant rather than full mouth feel and still good acids. Still obvious tannins, but not dominating. Had it with capercaille hen from the charcoal grill. An old bird with strong taste, but the elegant wine just seemed to float atop the meat. Great! |

2007 Weingut Josef Leitz Rüdesheimer Berg Schloßberg Riesling Alte Reben Spätlese TrockenRheingau more |
9/30/2012 - hennlund wrote: NRFirst taste of this wine. Allready quite a bit of petrol on the nose, in addition to the minerals and citrus. Only medium concentration, good acids, medium length. Better with food (baked wild salmon), than on it's own. Not quite up to what I had expected or hoped for, I believe. |

7/4/2012 - hennlund wrote: NRWritten 6 weeks after drinking. The last of these bottles, and comparing to my previous notes it gave a much more positive impression. Complex and mature notes on the nose, lots of fruit and minerals and some petrol - but not so much as to be unpleasant. Great acids ond full mouth feel, and long finish. With grilse from the grill. Excellent. |

Thick, viscous and sweet, bitter orange marmalade, but with an intense acidity that tickles the palate. Lasts for a long time. With strawberries and cream. Lovely. |

2002 Dom Pérignon ChampagneChampagne Blend more |
7/24/2012 - hennlund wrote: NRFrist taste of champagne of this calibre. Light golden, slight mousse. Rather subtle nose, withheld but very delicate - bread and yesty notes, butter and honey and a dash of citrus. Lovely mouth feel, creamy stuff that tickles the palate, very complex. The tastes aren't overwhelming, but contains several layers and is well concentrated. |

6/29/2012 - hennlund wrote: NRNote from memory 2-3 weeks later. Lovely Reisling, more mature notes now than last time. Citrus, minerals, some petrol, rich in the mouth, not quite the brilliant acids I remember - which may be the extra maturity or just me. With freshly caught grilse done slowly in the pan. |

2008 Roagna Dolcetto d'Albamore |
6/10/2012 - hennlund wrote: NRIn 2009 I wrote that I wanted to put aside a few. Didn't succeed - they were too good. But today a surviving, forgotten bottle surfaced in a corner of the cellar! So, how is a 4 year old Dolcetto? It's serious! Mature notes on the nose - dark cherries, earth, minerals, old wood, minerals. It just smells Roagna! Lovely, juicy mouth feel, still brilliant acids and a serious structured finish. I think it could have developed for several years still. |
