4. Twittertasting #twv Interview in HR4

Hallo liebe Sportsfreunde,

keine Twitterverkostung – kurz #twv –  hat medial bisher so viele Wellen geschlagen, wie die letzte von uns veranstaltete. Dank der Teilnahme einer Redakteurin von der Deutschen Presseagentur (DPA) berichteten in den folgenden Tagen zahlreiche Online Medien wie Focus, Financel Times, Handelsblatt , die Berliner TZ, WAZ und viele andere lokale Online Ausgaben über diese Art der Weinverkostung.

Auch der Hessische Rundfunk war interessiert und so saß ich am vergangenen Montag zumindest nicht alleine mit einem Glas Wein vor dem Laptop. HR-Redakteurin Maike Brathge war interessierte Beobachterin!

Was dabei herausgekommen ist, läßt sich hier anhören:

Die beste 2005er Rioja Reserva bei K&M Gutsweine in Frankfurt

DIE BESTE 2005er RIOJA RESERVA SPANIENS (Robert Parker)

Robert Parker: 92/100
„The purple-colored 2005 Oscar Tobia is composed of 90% Tempranillo and 10% Garnacha aged for 22 months in French and Hungarian oak. It exhibits a striking aromatic array of smoke, pencil lead, mineral, violets, black cherry, and blackberry. Medium to full-bodied, it has layers of succulent black fruit, spice and earth notes, and a lengthy,pure finish. It will benefit from 3-5 years of cellaring and should be at its peak from 2012 to 2024.“ 

Vivir El Vino Guía 2009 : 92/100
„Es un vino de buena intensidad, con notas muy maduras de aceitunas negras y picotas, chocolates amargos y hierbas fresdac aomáticas, como el laurel. Aromas propios de la vendimia al extremo de maduración. En boca entra con amplitud, siendo muy sabroso, jugoso, gracias a la acidez. Los tostados de la barrica le hacen profundo, junto a la fruta golosa que lo carga de cremosidad, dejando de lapicero y de tostados“

Mas Donis – outstanding of quality and value for money

Webseite Jancis Robinson

 

Five years ago, Jancis made the Mas Collet 2001 her wine of the week. My choice this week is an indication of the outstanding consistency of quality and value for money represented by the wines from Celler Capçanes, a co-operative established in 1933 in the Montsant DO in Catalunya, north-east Spain. Montsant produces wines similar in style to those of Priorat but generally at lower prices. Celler Capçanes‚ excellent website (in a choice of Catalan, Castilian and English) gives details of the history of the company, pointing surprisingly to the production of a kosher wine in 1995, and the new facilities required so to do, as the turning point in wine quality.

The blend seems to vary little from year to year; in 2005 it’s 35% bush-vine Garnacha, 25% Tempranillo, 25% bush-vine Cariñena and 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, grown on alluvial and slate soils at 150-450 m above sea level at yields of 40-50 hl/ha.

Among the recently tasted Waitrose bargains, this wine stood out for its combination of intense, sweet dark fruit, firm structure and lovely freshness. But it’s far more than a fruit bomb; there’s a savoury sour cherry tang on the finish and the slight sweetness added by the oak spice morphs into a more complex meaty flavour on the palate, thanks to the extra time this wine has been allowed in bottle – unusual for a wine at this price. 

The winemaking is straightforward: each variety is fermented separately at 26-29°C in stainless-steel tanks, followed by malolactic conversion, then nine months in French and American oak, some new barrels but others up to five years old (light and medium toast). After blending, the wine spends six months in tank before bottling for the components to marry.

This is seriously good value for money. Perfect for drinking this minute but you could probably hang on to it for at least another year or two.

Bei K&M ist der hier besprochene 2005er leider schon lange ausverkauft, aktuell können wir Ihnen den 2006er anbieten.
