Spottswoode

Family Estate Grown St. Helena Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

2011 Spottswoode Family Estate Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon (The 30th Anniversary Bottling)

I could not wait any longer and decided to open this. Trust the producer. 2011 was a difficult year, but the very top winemakers make great wines under the most difficult condition. Cassis, dark chocolate, plum, mint, herbs, pencil and minerals. Lighter than expected. Medium-bodied. Delicious. Would love to compare it with their 2010 vintage which RP gave 100 points.

開けるには早いかなと思いつつも待ち切れず、スポッツウッドの2011年をトライ。2011年は非常に難しい年でしたが、トップクラスのワインメーカーが手掛けるワインはさすが。カシス、ダークチョコレート、プラム、ミント、ハーブ、鉛筆の芯やミネラルなど。思っていたより軽めでミディアムボディーな仕上がり。美味しくいただきました。近い将来、ロバートパーカー氏が100点をつけた2010年と飲み比べてみたいものです。

Grosses Gewächs Marienburg Rothenpfad Riesling 2011

When most people say "old vines" they mean 35-50 years old. Why? Because older vines tend to produce wines of greater concentration, depth and complexity. Also, the older the vine the lower the yield so you need a lot of old vines to produce a fraction of what the younger vines can produce. But the quality is far greater than what young vines can give you. In the #Rothenpfad, for example, the vines average 85 years and these Rieslings are incredibly rich, full-bodied and extremely complex...plus they age beautifully. This #2011 has an almost chewy texture for a #Riesling and will stand up to rich sauces and grilled meats with any red wine. #ClemensBusch #Rieslinglover

Clos des Ambres Meursault Chardonnay 2011

It seems everyone in #Burgundy is fighting the premox problem and #MarcelEnte appears to be winning the battle as this marvelous magnum attests--classic fleshy #Meursault with just enough oak influence to give it a seductive complexity that seems to be enhanced by the #magnum bottle format--drinkable now but has loads of aging potential! #closdesambres #2011 — 10 years ago

Château d'Ampuis Côte-Rôtie Syrah 2011

Exceptional, expressive; aromatic and just so poised; holding back its full potential with residual oak bits; more behind the wine than meets the eye; #syrah #coterotie #guigal #2011 ; not big in texture for a warm region shiraz; more the elegant road, pushed that way by long oak time; tannic; 13.5%; AUD 200; long juicy mix of oak spice and shiraz blueberry; so fab #uncorkedandcultivated #wineandfoodtours #France2017 to visit; also there #2016. — 10 years ago

Pajana Barolo Nebbiolo 2011

Incredibly solid pajana in 2011. 30 minutes in the decanter and it starts to really show. Built for another 15-20, though. #barolo #2011 #underratedvintage — 9 years ago

Alpha Omega Cabernet Sauvignon 2011

Another solid Cabernet from Alpha Omega. Drinking beautifully right now after 30-min decanting.

アルファオメガのカベルネです。友人をおもてなしする際も安心して開けられるワインですね。30分程度のデキャンタですぐに楽しめるワインでした。
