We have not really come to understand ourselves on the thing with Bordeaux in the ten years that our interest in wine extends over. We understand so much that everything seems to start and stop there, and that there are people who almost worships the really luxurious palaces like divine monuments and consider wines from there as the eighth wonders.
Our experience of district is extremely limited - some Munskänksprovningar where the field has been at the center has undergone review by a number of years and rate wines we tried. Some have been of a higher class and of decent quality vintages and have not made any particularly lasting impression.
We bought Gute Weiner Bordeaux 2005 Starter Kit for the chance to sample what's on offer in the price range € 15-30 a famously good year as 2005. The first half of the box was tested for half two years ago, the remaining six bottles checked by half blind tonight, with a blasted joker in the form of Rica Solis Rocca Guicciarda 2006 that we will not be able to relax completely.
The notes will be of the short battle in which it was not a particularly exciting or inspiring collection of wines we had on the table.
first An almost ink blue, very dense wine. Black currants, toasted barrels and a little pencil sharpener. Plenty of spices and minerals becoming to dwell on the scent. A little edgy and angular, but very rich, with a kind of grand stiltypicitet where some lingonberry leaves and an appetizing bitter residue will prove to result in the evening most interesting overall impression.
Ch. you Retout Cru Bourgeois 2005 (€ 14.95) - Haut Medoc
second And with sweet vanilla tones and a bit reductive move to begin with. Blueberry, raspberry, plum jam and almonds. Lighter in the mouth than the nose, rounded fruit acids with plush tannins, a certain lightness in the aftertaste. Relatively flat and easy.
Ch. La Grave Figeac Grand Cru 2005 (€ 29.95) - Saint Emillion
third Some grönstjälkiga traits that get this glass to stick out a little. Meat and some other sulky animalitet, expensive Men's Cologne, orange marmalade and pickled cherry liqueur is the slightly eccentric fragrance base. Nice balance with a dull, dark acids and bite tannins that culminates with a medium finish. Funny, but odd representative.
Ch. Pontac Montplaisir 2005 (€ 19.95) Pessac Leognan-
4th ether, dental surgery and intense cherry fruit. Powerful aroma of pink dress and some nice barrels at the edge. The cherries and the pits are very prominent and leads us to suspect that our Italians have crept in here. The mouth is too soft and nice, this is a Smooth Operator that does not make any noise. Rocca Guicciarda 2006 has a tougher structure than this. Fine nose but uncontrollably bland mouth.
Ch. Gaudin Cru Bourgeois 2005 (€ 23.95) - Paulliac
5th Spicy with a dark fruit, lots of freshly roasted coffee and vanilla - identity solved in many ways. Great richness and harmony in the mouth but the overall impression feels super styled in desperate anxiety to sand away any sharp edges. Trist.
Ch. Clauzet Cru Bourgeois 2005 (€ 22.50) - Saint Estephe
6th Another sötfruktig, vanilla and plum embossed studded representative. Not without class and authority, but terribly boring - you feel that only seven years old at the party among a bunch of adults. Sit still and move nothing!
Ch. Bell Grave 2005 (€ 29.95) - Pomerol
7th A bunch of distilled tones in the form of rum and brandy opens up. Almond paste and morello pops up eventually. Roughness and medium intensive fruit acids in good balance with a pleasant mouth feel as a result. Here we probably could have a internationalized Chianti in the glass?
Rocca Guicciarda Riserva 2006 (139 euros) - Chianti Classico
evening's conclusion is the only one of the above wines we are willing to buy again, it is cheapest: Chateau du Retout 2005 which was agreeable to älgtjälknölen and felt the treaty with his typical clear cabernetmarkörer. Rica Solis riserva melted well into the concept and was not very obvious to point out what may well be regarded as a good grade; winemaker's intentions taken into account ...
