Hot summer day, first Chablis tasting and then all the below.....
Life is tough but someone have to do it....
Wine # 1
Medium pale red colour with lovely smell of raspberries, flowers and wood. Elegant Pinot Noir taste with, but slightly acidic. Smooth and fruity. Panel straight onto Pinot and Savigny les Beaune due to the apparant pale red colour and acidity. Not to far off though...
Beaune 1er cru Les Teurons 2005 by Rossignol-Trapet, score ca 18
Wine #2
Deep dark red colour with brick red rim. The smell was debated at length as it seemed corked although a typical dusty Bordeaux smell was detectable. A great shame cause the wine was obviously old and the taste could have been great. Definitely Medoc. Answer to be given after third wine.
Wine # 3
Same deep dark red colour and red rim. Younger wine than above. Fantastic Medoc smell of cedar, cigars, vanilla, dark berries, pencil, just amazing! The taste is perfectly balanced with a lovely long aftertaste. We are in heaven! or in Paulliac?
Ch.Pichon-Longueville Comtesse de Lalande 1997, Paulliac Score 19,1!!
Wine # 4
Burgundy red colour with slightly brown rim, smell of roses, cherries and flowers, dry log taste with agressive tannins and acidity. Panel is getting tired and are thinking Burgundy and a tough oaked Clos de Vougeot or something, but we are in fact in Piemonte....
