Jammen meg dukket ikke Mont de Milieu 2016 opp også. To noe ulike viner. Les Vaillons er nok crowd pleaseren per dags dato. Mont de Milieu er nok noe mere lukket i dag. Uansett mye potensiale her, og den blir spennende å følge fremover. I grenseland mye svovel pr dags dato, så anbefaler litt lufting. Verdt å legge bort et par av.

Om du er interessert i Italia og vin og ikke har vært borti denne produsenten er det bare å få øynene opp.
Synes det er interessant med litt historie rundt vinen og legger ved dette notatet.

Founded in 1989 by Piero Palmucci, Poggio di Sotto has risen one of Montalcino’s benchmark estates and amongst the finest exponents of Brunello.

Sold in 2012 to Maria Iris and Claudio Tipa, owners of the famous Grattamacco winery in Bolgheri, progressive investment has ensured that Poggio di Sotto remains the yardstick for traditional Brunello. With only 16 hectares under vine, production is incredibly small in comparison to many of its peers. As a result the wines produced are amongst the most sought after anywhere in Tuscany.

When we visited the winery in September we captivated by the quality of the entry level ‘Baby Brunello’, the 2014 Rosso di Montalcino. As a vintage 2014 caused a few flutters for all the growers due to its cool and humid nature, therefore meticulous work was necessary in the vineyard to ensure that only the finest grapes arrived at the winery and the highest possible quality level that Poggio di Sotto are renowned for, was maintained. Only a single cask of Brunello was produced in 2014 so the remaining grapes were declassified into what is an exceptional Rosso di Montalcino. Normally aged for 12 months in oak prior to its release, Claudio felt that the accentuated quality of the Rosso in 2014 deserved an extra 12 months in 30 hectolitre oak cases and 6 months in bottle.

The result is simply sensational and we feel that this year the Rosso 2014 is only just shy of the Brunello in terms of quality, and a noticeable cut above many of its peers.

En liten test av Morstein. Skulle gjerne hatt de i like årganger, men uansett artig. Wittmann 2017 vs Wechsler 2016.
To mineralske og syrefriske viner. Wittmann har en ekstra fylde og tyngde som gjør den til en soleklar vinner for meg. Det skal likevel nevnes at Wechsler er en meget god vin, og er nok den som drikker best i dag. Begge har nok godt av noen år på baken.
 
CHEF HESTON BLUMENTHAL EXPLAINS HOW TO MAKE ANY GLASS OF WINE TASTE BETTER
The trick, as explained during an “experiment” by the British chef, is to take a sip of wine while “picturing someone I love dearly.”

Then, a second sip should be taken while imagining someone you really dislike.

The difference is “marked” according to the chef’s dining partner, who found “in the second there’s a bitter taste not apparent in the first.”


According to Blumenthal, the explanation for the taste variations is the connection between a person’s stomach and memory - which he discovered in his exploration of the “significance of the relationship between the brain and the gut” alongside the University of Marseilles.

“It might be the single greatest discovery that I’ve ever made,” the imaginative chef said.



(Strange, Ole Martin Alfsen told me this years ago when he was teaching WSET at "The Gastronomic Institute")

To forskjellige til forretten (jordskokk- og sjøkrepssuppe). Lagret Chablis - hadde nærmet seg en sentralburgunder, men uten den samme konsentrasjonen

Bra at denne kom etterpå - 14,5 % og stor fylde med rousssane, vermentino og viognier. Fersken, honning og blomster. Fra Ansouis i Luberon.

Musar Aana 2013 (magnum) til lammet. Fyldig og saftig, plommer og mørke bær med en liten snerp til slutt. Denne likte alle, i motsetning til vanlig Ch. Musar som noen av gjestene synes blir for sær.

Ikke akkurat «dagens vin», men heller om kanskje 10 år når innholdet er modent for konsum.
Nice! Fikk ordnet meg Churchill i går selv. Men hvordan fikk du tak i DP’en? Det er vel ikke Legacy’en det der?

Jo, det er Legacy Edition. Kom tilfeldigvis over et svært begrenset parti på Gardermoen i slutten av oktober, altså lenge før polslippet for et par uker siden.
