Fransk Spansk og Australsk

Ch. Margaux 2004 Les Hauts du Tertre

5 cru fra Bordeaux, og her kan man så prøve 2 vinen. En typisk left bank vin på Cabernet.

Næse: små røde bær, læder, og svag tone af nåletræer. 

Smagsnoter: En lettere vin med spinkel krop, og en et godt syrebid som giver en lang eftersmag. Erik Sørensen vin 179kr (tilbud 139kr)

16/20

Celler El Masroig 2004 Castell de les Pinyeres

Spansk vinhus i Aragonien med en større serie vin. 'Castell de les Pinyeres' er et druemix som sjældent findes større. Her er carignan og grenache (40% hver), men de sidste 20% druer synes fundet under rengøringen. Her er cabernet sauvignon, merlot og temperanillo. 

Næse: Mørke bær, tobak, engelsk lakrids og krydderi. Den høje procent alkohol står dog også op af glasset. Smagen er rund, cremet med en mellemkrop og god syre.  

Propsvine 99kr 

15/20

Ceravolo Sangiovese 2006

Kending fra Australien, Mclaren Vale, som kaster sig ud i europæriske typevine.   

Næse: tobak og krydret, knap så komplex.  

Smagen er først sød, men vinen er ganske syrlig, som giver en mellemlang eftersmag.  Generalt lover man meget når man skriver Sangiovese på etiketten. Resultatet er desværre langt fra Toscana, og der er ikke meget sangiovese (snarer Cabernet S) over denne vin udover farven.

An evening in Bordeaux

Dinning French is always a pleasure and accompanied with a series of white and red bordeauxs, it does not come much better.

Set under snowfall in Chr. Havn, the first thematic tasting event on Bordeaux blends was a succes.

A quick list of wines:

Chateau Villa Bel-Air (2001)

Palacio de Bacahlôa (2004)

Chateau de Camensac (2006)

Chateau de Chene Liege (2004)

Le Graviere (2000)  

Ch. Villa Bel-Air (2001). A 66% semillion and 34% semillion blanc blend, the wine presented it self with a rich yellow tone. The most interesting observation was the characteristic nose of  blue cheese and cocus. Taste notes was summarized as creamy/butterish, with a fresh finish. the wine was rated 91 points, but RP - a justified score. Espergæde vinkælder 111kr. 

Palacio de Bacalhôa (2004). Portugals only bordeaux tribute is made close to Lisbon, where fields of Cab, merlot and Petit Verdot, was planted back in 70'ties. Its Bacalhôa's top wine and Palacio de Bacalhôa has so far only been produced in 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2004. The blend is 70% Cab, 25% Merlot, and 5 % Pertit verdot. The wine has intense nose of tobacco/cigar wood, cacao, dark chocolate. Taste of an younger bordeaux and can easily be stored for some years to come. As an "outsider" (Portuguese) the wine resembles a fine left bank Bordeaux. Portugisisk vinkælder, 189kr. More info here

Ch. de Carmensac (2006). A 'new bordeaux'. A left bank bordeaux of 60% Cab, 20% merlot and 20% Cab Franc. An intense dark red colored wine, with a nose of leather and pepper. The tannins were harder than P. d Bacalhôa, but the wine opened through out the evening and evolved smoothly in the glass. Hj hansen vine and phillipson wine. More here

Ch. de Chene Leige (2004).  Here we go. The evenings first trip to the right river bank side, and moreover, a producer which neighbour the fields of the renowned Petrus. The wine presents itself slightly more transperant than the evenings precessors, and its blend is 65% merlot, 25% Cab, and 10% Cab franc.  A fine nose of peat and cigar wood box. We should try more Pomerol.  Privat cellar item

Ch. de La Graviere (2000) This evening eldest - A really strong nose of cigar wood to the top of the glass.  Great balanced. The 'drinking window' of this wine by Cellartracker is now to 2014; we made it within!  Private cellar item. Cellar trackers notes here. / AD

Upcoming:Blends of 'Bordeaux'

First theme evening at Chr Havn the 21/2 2009.

wines can be from anywhere in the world - as long as they based on:

whites: Sauvignon +/- semillon or otherwise 'Sauternes'

reds: Cab - Merlot blended with touch of carmere - pertit verdot or Cab Franc. 

Looking forward, Drud

Marmelade Rhone eller..

Lørdag blev der lige tid til en flaske

Domaine Saint Pierre 2005, Vacqueyras.

Druesammensætningen i denne flaske er 60% Grenache og 40% Syrah.

Bouquet: Sød, blomstret, mærke bær, peber og stenfrugt (grappa).

Smagnoter: Generelt har denne vin en bred appel. Vi bedømte den som en typisk Syd-Rhone, og forventningerne var sat lidt højere. Vinen har en fin "høj" struktur og tiltrods for at den præsenterer en kraftig smag, er det med en vis lethed (mineralskhed). Det er en velproduceret vin i fin balance, men måske også en kende mainstream (...man savner måske flere smagsfacetter). Der er også skrevet om vinen her

Distributør: ViniPortugal. Pris er os ukendt men vi drak den sgu' alligevel.
