Raveneau at Onda Mezzanine, Winemakers dinner part I

Tasting notes in English, a few words about the food in Norwegian.

Noen korte kommentarer om maten på Onda denne kvelden underveis, fra en som er amatør på feltet. Det er mer ment som en stemningsrapport enn en anmeldelse.

Jacquesson Cuvée no 736:

Pale lemon yellow, tiny bubbles. Apples, touch of lilies of the valley and chalk. Fresh acidity, elegant mousse, refined and elegant palate, needs a bit of time for me, good length. This is my note from last week. This bottle was a bit rounder and more open. 91

Egg med caviar

Nydelig rett med utsøkt salt kaviar som var svært forfriskende. Stemningen ble god rundt bordet.

2002 Leitz Berg Schlossberg Riesling Trocken:

Pale golden. Floral, scented, lemons, apples and some minerals. Fresh acidity, elegant palate, refreshing and youthful, good length. 89

2009 Leitz Berg Kaisersteinfels Riesling Trocken:

(Magnum) Pale lemon yellow. Apples, some minerals, easy going nose. Fresh acidity, elegant palate, lovely balance, good length. 88

Sjøkreps med estragon.

En for meg litt "tung" sjøkrepsrett, både i tekstur og smak, men overhode ikke kraftig. Personlig ønsker jeg meg mer renhet og letthet i sjøkreps. Litt uinspirert om enn svært vakker.

2005 Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux:

Pale lemon yellow. Apples, minerals, almost flinty, some yellow fruits, complex. Fresh acidity, ripe fruit, lemony and somewhat fatty minerals, long finish. 91

2008 Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux:

Pale lemon yellow. Apples, minerals, almost floral, touch of grapefruit. Almost flinty minerals with air. Fresh acidity, elegant if a bit full body, refreshing and long. 92

2009 Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux:

Pale lemon yellow. Apples, minerals, ripe, touch of yellow fruits. Layered. Fresh acidity, riper style for Raveneau, long. 91

Hummer med gulrot:

En eventyrlig rett, flott nesten lett karamellisert hummer og intens hummer sjy, dette var en rett som kommer til å sitte. 

1995 Raveneau Chablis 1er Cru Forêt:

Pale lemon yellow. Apples, minerals, touch of lemons. Fresh acidity, elegant and refreshing palate, layered, not that intense, towards flirting. With air very nuanced. Long. 93

Torsk i soppbuljong og trøffel:

Rikt og intenst og allikevel herlig nyansert og nesten friskt. Gnocchien kom med små fargesprakende glimt, her begynner Heini*** sin torsk å få en utfordrer.

2003 Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Valmur:

Pale lemon yellow. Fresh nose, lime, apples, slight wax touch is the only indikator of the vintage on the nose. Fresh acidity, riper palate, somewhat "full", lacks a bit of nuances. Long creamy mineraly palate. 91

2006 Raveneau Chablis Grand Cru Valmur:

Pale lemon yellow. Fresh nose, apples, lime, oysters, layered and nuanced. Fresh acidity, lively lemony palate, refined, subdued and refreshing, very long. 93
