Trondheim fine wine encounter, Nidelven, part 4

1975 Chateau Clerc Milon;
A/B Fill, Bright ruby, brick-orange rim. Liquorice, cassis, cedar, mature prunes, hints of figs. Quite fruity, very elegant and soft, complex but not so intence, very elegant and fruit seems younger on th palate than nose. 89 (Must be left bank, classed growth, St.Julien fruit on Pauillac body, 4th or 5th, but how old,85- 88? -I have been fooled by the 75 vintage before:))

2005 Graci, Arcuria, Etna Rosso, Nerello Mascarese;
Bright ruby, meat, well hung game, some cherries, not too complex but very fresh. Livelly acidity, a bit fat body, much ripe tannins, some minerals, fresh and elegant, cool fruit, long finish. 75 (I do not remember what I guessed at, no notes on it, did not get it right anyway)

1999 Aldo Conterno, Barolo Gran Bussia Riserva;
Ruby with brick rim, needs a lot of air to open, then some tar, roses a minute later, swirl and swirl, some oak notes apears, then violets, more floral, gets fresher and fresher, liquorice and slight volatility. Intence after ten minutes, fantastic freshness, great balance, extremelly complex, very elegant tannins, soft for a Barolo, fresh but not high acidity again for a Barolo, hints of Earl Grey tea, a bit sweet fruit, and great long finish. Hides 14,5 alcohol very well, not warm at all, just a bit sweet. Keeps well, but maybe the structure isn't for the long haul. 93

1993 Serafin, Charmes-Chambertin, Grand Cru;
Bright ruby, brick rim. Strawberries and spices, fresh and fruity, a bit alcoholic nose. Ok acidity, fresh mouthfeel, quite complex, elegant, a bit short, drinks well now. 86
This bottle did really show the danger of having a wine for just a few minutes in the glass. After ten minutes, much more elegance, more fruit, more intencity, totally different structure, even tannins was much riper, oak feeling went away, fantastic elegance and finish. A beauty. 93 ( Must be Burgundy, Vosne or Gevrey, premier cru. After airing it, probably even grand cru)
