Frisk syre, modne tanniner, slank, jordlig, dadler, litt enkel, det er lengde her men neppe noen topp flaske. Rustikk.

More unpublished from January 2013

2008 Armand Rousseau Gevrey-Chambertin:
Pale ruby. Tight first, tighter than last bottle. At a tasting it wouldn't shine, you need to follow it. After an hour+ in decanter the redcurrants and acidity broadens into raspberries and floral scent. Same happens on the palate, lean and acidic first, later rounder, always focused and fresh. Long. 90

1989 Château Montelena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon:
Deep ruby, garnet rim. Coffee, cassis, dusty, somewhat earthy. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, drying and dusty, by far the best of two bottles. Drying finish. 86

1989 Château Bel Orme Tronquoy de Lalande:
Smouldering cork, in neck fill. Garnet, brick rim. Lean and quite oxidized.

2010 Château Peyre-Lebade: Haut-Médoc
Ruby. Some blueberries and licorice. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, refreshing and  somewhat leaner style, balanced, OK length. Clean feel. 84

2002 Château Certan de May:
Ruby, very thin garnet rim. Blueberries, some vanilla, raspberries and some redcurrants. Layered and nuanced. Plums and almost prunes with even more air.  Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, very elegant and refreshing palate, some would say leanish. Needed twenty minutes to open fully in decanter. 92

1986 Château Cantenac Brown:
In the neck fill. Ruby with thin brick rim. Figs, warm plums, prunes, somewhat dusty and licorice. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins starting to polish off. A few astringent ones. Leanish and somewhat dry finish, but still innsiden. 90

2000 Château St. Pierre: Pomerol
Ruby, garnet rim. Licorice, some blueberries and starting prunes. Fresh acidity, lively, ripe tannins, somewhat edgy texture and might not have the fruit to age that much longer. Drink in the next two years. 86

2009 Joh.Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Kabinett:
Watery lemon yellow. Very tight, but opens up after an hour in decanter. Lemon, minerals, orange blossoms and something a bit fatter behind. Fresh acidity, lively but acidity is packed inside. Balanced and long length. Subtile. 90

1989 Château Certan de May:
In neck fill, ruby with garnet rim. Tobacco, blueberries, licorice, spicy, scented, layered and complex. Stunning nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins starting to polish off. Some sour cherries on the palate making it ever so slightly bitter. Sexy and flirting, long. A bit hollow finish. 93+

1989 Château Trotanoy:
In the neck fill. Ruby with garnet rim. Even after an hour in decanter it's tight. Scented floral overtones. Blueberries, touch of Christmas spices, black tea, come and go in the glass, opens and closes. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, mouthwatering. Tight even after two hours in decanter, a ball with things going on inside. Long but very tight.Falling apart after four hours in decanter. 95 at very best....

1970 Château Latour:
Bottom neck fill. Dark ruby with very thin brick rim. Intense nose, come out of the glass. Enormous complexity, touch of cedar, leather, cassis, plums, somewhat seductive, almost floral but nothing jumps out. Ever so slightly spicy.  More sugesting everything thats in there. Fresh acidity, quite full bodied for Latour, ripe tannins, a superior bottle to the last one, more rounded and packed in so the mountain of tannins feel more integrated. Mouthwatering, the aftertaste is extremelly long, goes on and on. With three hours in decanter it wraps the tannins in silk and gets ever rounder. 100

1999 Château d'Yquem:
Golden. VA and some apricots and vanilla. Freshish acidity, but VA overshadows, only a faint memory of former bottles.

1999 Château d'Yquem:
Golden. Apricots, botrytis, a bit tight, but never opens and lacks a lot. Almost creamy notes. Vanilla. Again a somewhat flat bottle, lacks everything that is normally in the 99. Simple and boring, faulty bottle

1996 Château d'Yquem:
Golden. Apricots, vanilla, touch of minerals, touch of honey and floral notes. More elegant nose than last bottle. Fresh acidity, elegant texture and body, it could lack something on the body, and feels lighter than my last 96, but extreme length. 94

1998 Clos du Marquis:
Ruby. Scented nose of cassis, cedar notes, almost some mint, sos bois and starting figs and leather. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, just starting to evolve, lovely now but I would keep it another four to five years. Will last longer. Long.  91

Some unpublished wines from Jan 2013

Brøttum 05.01. 13

1989 Château Laville Haut-Brion:
Fill one cm below excellent cork. Pale golden. Citrus, touch of orange marmalade, some honey and tropical fruits, touch of nuts that blows off after fifteen minutes. Scented, complex and layered. Fresh and lively acidity, mouthwatering as few, extreme minerality and waves upon waves, that with air gets much more into a whole, that is extremelly long. Needed an hour to be complete. One of the longest white wines I've ever tried. 100

2001 Reichsrat von Buhl Kirchenstück Forst Riesling Spätlese Trocken:
Pale lemon yellow. Somewhat floral over subdued citrus, apples and elegant flinty touch. Fresh and lively acidity, balanced for a Spätlese Trocken, elegant body long finish. 93

1953 Château Latour:Very top shoulder fill. Garnet with brick rim. Mature nose, prunes, figs, leather, scented, adding by the minute. Fresh acidity, tannins polished away, very mature and a bit dusty far back. Cedar, a bit beyond fully mature, but this bottle not that far. Still lots of dried fruits. Subtle evolution and evolvment in the glass, the dust blows away after about thirty minutes, and just layers of pure, but dried fruit. Superb wine to meditate by the fireplace, a bit to nuanced for food, mellow and round, long. Pure enjoyment over almost three hours. 94-95

2000 Le Petit Mouton de Mouton Rothschild:
(2nd Ch. Mouton Rothschild) Deep ruby, garnet rim. Surprisingly youthful, almost barrel sample. Wakes up a bit after two hours in decanter, but still one of the youngest 2000's I've tasted in a long time. Some herbs, bell peppers, cassis, scented and youthful. Fresh acidity, almost edgy tannins, some cedar shows up, still a bit tight. Two and a half hour, it starts to open and feels more rounded. Good length and far too young. 90

2001 Joseph Drouhin Montrachet Marquis de Laguiche:
Pale golden. Rich nose, butter, nuts, minerals, evolved since last bottle about six months back. Almost smoky and bacon fat with a touch of citrus behind. Freshish acidity, rich palate, fuller than last bottle, a bit short. 91

2005 Georg Breuer Nonnenberg Riesling Auslese:
Golden. Honey, apricots, rich and deep nose. Heavy Riesling. Fresh acidity, lively and playful and quite a contrast to the rich body. Honey and almost waxy palate, good length. 92

2004 Château d'Yquem:
Golden. Honey, apricots, vanilla, pineapples and tropical fruits. Needed a few minutes to open. Fresh and lively acidity, somewhat richer and fuller than last bottle and a bit more vanilla, but the same pure fruit. Long. 94

2010 Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato
Served blind. Red sweet berries, some herbs, liquorice, some roses on the nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, leaner, spices, bit thin, alcohol shows, bit herbal. Short finish. I was on Barbera blind, others on something from Southern Rhône inexpensive something. I have tasted it before and remember a different wine, but I can't find a fault on this one. 89

1948 Château Cos d'Estournel
Very top shoulder fill, soaked cork. Ruby with brick rim. Figs, prunes, earthy, leather, raisins, some faint floral notes nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, red berries, cherry stones, detailed, mature, ever so slightly iodine in the finish, long. 94 (96 for pleasure)

1989 Château Léoville Barton

Fresh acidity, elegant mousse, refreshing, detailed, delicate, intense, layered, nuanced, long finish. Lovely balance. Just starting to show maturation. 95

1989 Château d'Issan
In neck fill, hardly soaked cork. Ruby, brick rim. Somewhat scented nose, some violets, cassis and with some air, prunes and figs, not the most intense but quite elegant nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, unfortunately a bit hollow fruit, somewhat lean and a bit astringent, lacks fruit and body to be a real charmer, good length. 89

1975 Château Montrose
In neck fill, soaked cork. Ruby, brick rim. Scented, cassis, light figs and leather note, liquorice, light mineral note, quite intense nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, lively, bit sweet and sour, leaner but enough fruit to hold the remaining texture, had a slightly fruitier bottle a few weeks back, still very fine bottle, long. 92

2010 Marquis d'Angerville Volnay 1er Cru
Bright ruby. Lightly scented, elegant red berries nose. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fresh, fruity and lively but lacks details and complexity. Bit tight but seemingly nothing hiding behind here. 88
