Super Saturday

Tasted by MadsE and Drud

This saturday we had a little child celebration, Adriana turned 2 weeks and in good company on a weekend we pulled out three good wines.

Muhr-Niepoort Prellenkirchen 2007

First wine was from Austria with the influence of the Portuguese winemaker, Dirk Niepoort. Prellenkirchen is based on 80% Grüner Sylvaner and 20% Riesling. Taste notes and impressions are manyfold and accurately described by the Danish importer here. It is fine summer wine, with a medium body and the taste of riesling. Purchased at Atomewine.dk 99dk/bottle. 88-89P Buy

La Chablisienne 2002 Chablis 1.Cru Monte Milieu

At dinner we uncorcked what perhaps turned to be the best white wine posted on Grapejuices so far. Phillipson wine are presently selling La Chablisienne at 149dkk/bottle (when buying 12bottles) and what wonderful wine this is. The bottle itself is twice as heavy as a normal bottle, conveying the message "you-are-now-about-to-drink-some-real-hefty-stuff" - and the statement stands. There are so many nuances, which just come consecutively, one after the other. Compact bouquet of almonds, vanilla, and hinys of minerals. Taste is rich with a long finish of hazel and liquorices’. Cheers. Phillipson Wine 149DKK/bottle when buying 12bottles. 92-93P Buy

Cote Rotie Bernard Burgaud 2006

Syrah - no way! No heaviness, no over ripe overseas Syrah. Be preprared for a surprise, as this wine steps aside from most Syrah made today, and show what this grape can do, in the hands of the right people.

Here is what it reads "Burgaud makes highly personal wines with a very limited production. This vintage bears lovely hints of ripe rasberries, a notes of dark fruit and black olives, bits of oxidized iron, raw meat and spices. Despite 100% Syrah it has loads of feminin charme. The taste is intense, medium body and above all a dominant fruit and exact balanced acid level, which emits balance in the wine." 93RP and we agree. Buy
