I would never had e guessed 1993.. so lively in structure with great mousseux and acidity. Very wide range of aromas out of the glass.. and on the broad palate: chocolate („Toblerone“ to be precise (if you know the swiss touri creation)), plums, ripe cherries & apricots, figs, roasted almonds and honey. The age added tertiary notes of forest floor and champignons… Decent and elegant, long but not massiv.

Super Pinot, typisch Gantenbein! Verführerisches Boquet, langer Abgang.
Kein hervorrangender Jahrgang von Daniel und Martha. Die heutigen Preise meiner Meinung nach (verglichen mit dem 10er Jahrgang) nicht wer.

Intensiv und rund in der Nase wie im Mund. Dunkle Schokolade, Tabakblätter, etwas Paprikapulver und Cassis über den animalischen Noten.
Klassisch Bordeaux, klassisch linkes Ufer. Grosser Wein im Verhältnis zum schwierigen Jahrgang 1994.

Typical Taittinger aromatics whit lots of elegant nutty brioche, some smoke and citrus fruits. Additional floral notes and a mineral salty long aftertaste. Very elegant and intense on the same time. Pefect structure. We read the notes from well know wine critics to it and had to confirm the most of it (what is not usual as i think). Will hold a few more years, but is full pleasure at the moment.

Very well an classic Bordeaux. Seema to have a fairly percentage of merlot for AOC Margaux. Fantastic smoothness and with 10years of age in the very right spot. I recommend to drink now or within 2 years.
