An evening of Rhone (Ponte Vedre Club): Young and very fresh and almost a hint green in style although I do mean that in a good way. It's a bit reticent and while it opened through the night it never quite got to where the 2006 did in terms of brightness. I think it's a years thing. This was also around the time of the handover from old to new ownership I think. A classic style of wine that we enjoyed.

Clear medium lemon. On the nose, golden apple, young peach, cinnamon spice, musk, jasmine, osmanthus, buttery oak. Medium+ acidity, full body, pronounced intensity of peach, white flowers, pungent spice, apple, oak. Medium+ floral finish. Bigger on the palate than the nose, which feels like it is still developing. A serious wine that calls for due attention, although I am not sure it is worth the typical asking prices these days.

BYO Litteraturhuset (Litteraturhuset i Oslo): Lys gyllen med grønnskjær. Gule sitrustoner (mandarin, klementin), hint av bivoks og lanolin. God fylde i anslaget, veldig konsentrert, rik stil. Gruppen var raskt i nord-Rhône grunnet kombinasjonen fylde/fedme og lavere syre men allikevel veldig tiltalende og med god balanse. Småfet og med flott struktur. Ungdommelig til å være 10 år gammel, veldig kult å smake denne vinen fra Frankrikes minste appellasjon

Aromas of fruit cake, marsipan and butter malt. Fat and full bodied with low acidity, but also elegant. Concentrated, with a long aftertaste.
