2010 Burgundy red wine, notes part 2

2010 Burgundy is a very interesting vintage, especially for red wine. Through my work at Otto Suenson Wine, I’m fortunate to taste a good deal of wine from this already heralded vintage. We have the uncrowned Queen of Burgundy working with us here at Suenson and it was a pleasure tasting these wines with her. These wines have been tasted over a 2 week period at the end of February 2012. All wines were tasted none blind, right after opening and throughout the evenings.

This is the second set of notes, containing notes on the better and more structured red Burgundies. Please see part 1 here! First the 6 wines from the Roskilde tasting:

2010 Robert Chevillon, Vielles Vignes, Nuits-Saint-Georges2010 Robert Chevillon, Vielles Vignes, Nuits-Saint-Georges – so open and delicious nose. Very typical Read more

This first entry from these 2 nights will be with the entry red wines. The wines mixed from the 2 occasions. All comments will be very welcome.

2010 Bertrand Ambroise, Bourgogne rouge2010 Bertrand Ambroise, Bourgogne rouge – very juicy style with plenty of typical Burgundy character. This is not a powerful wine, and those who are searching for a wine that could lose in a blind test Vs. New Zealand, could use this to beat up. But, Read more

3 different styles of Chianti

At Otto Suenson Wine we are great fans of Italian wines. We import some of the very best from Italy, and from Chianti we have 3 very different producers. I have bought 1 bottle of each to sample this weekend, and I’m learning the difference by tasting the wines in random order, several times. The wines were tasted none blind, over 2 days.

Chianti Classico and Rufina

2010 Selvapiana, Chianti Rufina – a classic Sangiovese, Read more

TN: Niepoort Redoma Branco Douro – white wine with personality!

2008 Niepoort, Redoma Branco, Douro – found this white with a little age in my cellar, and thought it would fit perfect for a lunch with my mother. It was very light colour in the glass, showing no signs of age. The scent rising was as expected; amazing. I was blown away Read more

2010 Borgogno, Barbera d’Alba, Piemonte

Borgogno er en af de klassiske producenter fra Piemonte, de har været i gang siden 1761, så historien er på deres side. Men, i den sidste ende er min fokus på hvad der er i glasset, men det vender vi tilbage til om lidt. Som Barolo producent har vi at gøre med en af de mest traditionelle, her taler vi 2 uger lang maceration og udelukkende brug af gamle slovenske egetræsfade. Da vi nu havde en tirsdag på programmet, valgte jeg en Barbera Read more

Ribera del Duero – an invitation

Ribera del Duero is an area that have brought many spectacular wines to my glass, over the years. I still remember one stormy evening about 15 years ago in Hellerup. We tasted many good wines this evening, but the 2 Vega Sicilia Unico, and the Vega Sicilia Reserva Especial still stands out in my memory.  I my opinion the wines of Ribera del Duero have a very strong character and when you taste them blind, they tend to taste like Bordeaux wines, but still with a Spanish touch.
