Inniskillin and two dissapointments.

2007 Hess Collection, Mount Veeder Napa Valley Chardonnay;
Normally I am a great fan of American wines, especially for a Scandinavian palate, but sometimes it all seems to go wrong, at least for my taste. This one was just overripe yellow fruits, and that was all, I could not find much more. Pleasant, ok, I admit, but neither interesting or exciting, for me anyway. Where is the minerals, or at least a playfull acidity for the fruit to play against? 72


2007 Inniskillin Niagara Vidal Icewine;
Pale golden colour, so fresh nose, like misty roses, intence nose, you can smell sweet fruits. Very sweet, acidity freshens things up, very balanced, pineapples, peaches, clean berry aromas, very long finish. Beautifull as always. 91


2006 Louis Jadot Chassagne- Montrachet Morgeot Clos de la Chapelle Domaine Duc de Magenta;
Pale yellow lemon. Unripe gooseberries, apples, some butter and slightly fat body, a bit simple and boring, a Chassagne should be better than this in my book.87
