A few weeks back, I was at a tremendous tasting where three bottles of Cathiard Malconsorts were opened as an extra treat at the end of the event. The trio of 2014, 2015 and 2016 is a display of Vosne supremacy. Not many wines outside the … [Read more...] about What are we drinking? Cathiard Malconsorts x 3

What are we drinking? Double bubbles, and the last lunch
A fine tasting - that for me apparently marked the end of an era in Copenhagen indulgence - was held on September 26th in the form of my last Enomania lunch: Damiano and his team will in future only be open evenings. The lunch sessions at Enomania … [Read more...] about What are we drinking? Double bubbles, and the last lunch
Domaine Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 2000
The Puligny Pucelles 2000 is in a beautiful place ... fully mature yet still fresh and vivid. The bouquet offer yellow fruits, hazelnuts - good freshness and a ever so slight hint of gunpowder. On the palate fine quite delicate fruit - rather … [Read more...] about Domaine Leflaive, Puligny-Montrachet Les Pucelles 2000
What are we drinking? On the border between old and new school!

Hope for an old Romanée-Conti, and a delightful Dujac 1976
Tasting old bottles - 50-year-old wines - is something of a lottery. Nevertheless, the expectations were very high this week when I tasted a Romanée-Conti 1966. Let's be honest: It was not in top form. Dead to be precise, with very strong oxidised … [Read more...] about Hope for an old Romanée-Conti, and a delightful Dujac 1976
Domaine Robert Groffier Chambolle Les Hauts Doix 2010
The Chambolle-Musigny Les Hauts Doix 2010 is a delightful wine with perfect balance and lovely intensity.

A treat and definitely a wine that offers … [Read more...] about Domaine Robert Groffier Chambolle Les Hauts Doix 2010
Domaine Dublère, Charmes-Chambertin 2006
This is a rare bird - the 2006 Charmes-Chambertin from Blair Pethel and Domaine Dublère. This is showing very well currently, rich and still fruity - with a quite openly knit structure. Plenty of stuffing showing its grand cru intensity on the table … [Read more...] about Domaine Dublère, Charmes-Chambertin 2006
