Wine tasting Stavanger 15 Sept 09

We continue with the red wines:
Barbera d'Asti Lia Vi by Carussin 2008
Deep dark red colour, sweet blue berries, youghourt with vanilla, cherries well balanced taste with a developed acidity leading the panel to Piemonte. A nice daily drinking wine P+
L'Antico di Burchino 2007 Chianti
Medium dark red, lots of tannins, quite fullbodied biodynamic wine with a nice aftertaste
Difficult to place.
Izadi Expression 2000, Rioja
Deep dark red with purple edge, blueberries, dark fruit, stable, liquerice big big smell
Fruity with big body and length. Very much a warm Bordeaux look a like.
100% tempranillo very surprising
Nuits St George "Les Vignes Rondes" 1999 by George Mugneret
Medium red, discrete smell of liquerice, oak with a stringent but somewhat tame aftertaste
Vosne Romanee 2000 by Mugneret
No ordinary wines from Vosne it says and so here as well. Medium red colour witha somewhat acidic chocolate smell. Good length and very nicely balanced wine.
Vosne Romanee 1998 by Mugneret
Slightly deeper red, a bit more body and length, but similar smell. No doubt we were in the same region....
Barolo "Tettimorra" 2000 by Scarpa
Deep dark red, with autumn leaves and acidic smell, firm body with tight tannins and good acidity. Similar to burgundy above but its 100% Nebbiolo and thus Barolo. A wine to keep from the traditional wine maker in Nizza Monferrato

All in all a memorable evening!
Thanks to Nils.

Leoville Lascases 1988

Last week was a special week for me as I received my last pay check from my previous employer. An event that required some sort of celebration with some good friends. Of the many bottles opened during that evening was a Leoville Lascases 1988. This Bordeaux wine from St. Julien is second Grand cru classee but it has the quality of a first growth. This chateau was also the wine that made me change from beer to wine as I had the pleasure of tasting a Leoville Lascases 1945 back in 88.  The 1945  just knocked me off my guard and I remember thinking what a fantastic wine it was and what an experience to drink this wine from the year when world war 2 ended. I was in shock and I then just decided to enter into the world of wine. I have always had a soft spot for this chateau ever since. And to my pleasure  it has been performing well at much more reasonable prices than the much more expensive first growths in the 1855 classification. Nowadays a bottle of this wine costs around ...

Ogier Chateauneuf du Pape 2010

This is a quite reasonable Chateauneuf du Pape (ca 200 NOK or 15€). The colour is medium ruby color which was a bit surprising. Nose of ripe black cherries and liquerice with a medium + body and finish with firm tannins. The wine can be drunk now but has definitely the potential for ageing (5-10 years). Chateauneuf du Pape 2010, Ogier Bring out the steak!
