2001 Mauro, Ribera del Duero, Ribera del Duero, Spain: 91 |
|
2001 Mauro, Ribera del Duero, Ribera del
Duero, Spain: Dark ruby, fat tears. Soft dark fruity nose, velvety. Medium
to medium full body, austere dark fruit, good acidity and intense velvety
tannins. Reminds me to some degree of Gourt de Mautens Rasteau 2001.
Surprisingly excellent dinner at the restaurant of Hotel d'Angleterre in
Copenhagen. Score: 50 + 4 for optic + 13 for bouquet + 17 for taste + 7 for
overall = total score of 91. From memory. Not blind. Decanted shortly before
drinking. Generic Syrah type red wine glass |

1997 Angerville, Clos Des Ducs, Volnay 1er Cru, Burgundy, France: 90 |
|
1997 Marquis D'Angerville, Clos Des
Ducs, Volnay 1er Cru, Burgundy, France: Light ruby, brilliant. Soft Pinot
Noir nose. Medium body, agreeable acidity, good balance. Medium finish, soft
tannins. Versatile with a no choice 5 courses menu at Ensemble/Copenhagen.
Nice evening. Score: 50 + 3 for optic + 13 for bouquet + 17 for taste + 7 for
overall = total score of 90. From memory. Not blind. Not decanted. Generic
Burgundy type red wine glass |
|
1992 Gravner, Ribolla Gialllo, Collio, Italy: 89 |
|
1992 Gravner, Ribolla Gialllo,
Collio, Italy: Soft golden yellow. Soft mature nose after nuts, butter, very
slightly Sherry note. Medium body, taste of nuts and dried yellow fruit, dry
Sherry touch, low acidity, nice tannins. Soft velvety aftertaste. This wine
reminded me to some degree of the Beaucastel Roussanne V.V. 1999. The
sommelier tried to convince me that this wine was over the hill but failed -
it was exactly what was to expect from a Gravner Ribolla 1992. It was a
perfect match for a 7 course shellfish menu (this reminds me of my surprise
as a waiter in Sevilla/Spain gave me a glass of dry Sherry with my raw
oysters instead of the ordered dry white one - also a perfect match) at
Noma/Copenhagen. Again a nice evening. Score: 50 + 3 for optic + 13 for
bouquet + 16 for taste + 7 for overall = total score of 89. From memory. Not
blind. Not decanted. Spiegelau white wine glass |

2000 Renacimiento, Rento, Ribera del Duero, Spain: 88 |
|
2000 Renacimiento, Rento (Tinto Fino),
Ribera del Duero, Spain: Dark brilliant ruby, fat tears, tints slighty the
glass. Cool dark berries in the nose, bit toast. Medium body at best, cool
dark berries, nice fruity acidity, slightly bitter oaky tannins. Medium
finish, bit fresh. Versatile wine even with fish courses. Nice dinner at
Bagatelle in Oslo. The wine was recommended by the sommelier as replacement
for the Roda I 1996 (on the wine list but not available) Score: 50 + 4 for
optic + 12 for bouquet + 16 for taste + g for overall = total score of 88

1998 Faiveley, Bourgogne Rouge, Cote d'Or, Burgundy, France: 83 |
|
1998 Faiveley, Bourgogne Rouge, Cote
d'Or, Burgundy, France: Light garnet, orange hue, fat tears. Clean soft red
berries in the nose. Small to medium body, soft red berries, some acidity,
very soft but fine tannins. Short finish, some if any smoky tannins. A
generic Burgundy is always the ultimate test for a Cote d'Or winemaker and
even more for a negociant: Versatile with food as it should be as a minimum
requirement for this kind of wine, even acceptable with dried cod - no easy
job for a red wine. I always wondered where the markets for this kind of
wines might be - now I know the high north of Norway is one of it. Restaurant
Hotel Clarion Bryggen in Tromsø. Score: 50 + 2 for optic + 11 for bouquet +
15 for taste + 5 for overall = total score of 83. Score83. From memory. Not
blind. Not decanted. Generic wine glass (means with stem) |

Versatile with food, even a match for the reindeer at Emma's Drømmekjøkken in
Tromsø - very nice restaurant. Score: 50 + 4 for optic + 12 for bouquet + 16
for taste + 6 for overall = total score of 88. From memory. Not blind. Not
decanted. Schott Zwiesel Syrah glass |

2002 Campo Viejo, Crianza, Rioja, Spain: 82 |
|
2002 Campo Viejo, Crianza, Rioja, Spain:
Light ruby. Clean nose. Light body, some fruity acidity,
bit of tannins, slightly rustic. Short finish. Wine to accompagny your meal,
thats it - but the "best" fish restaurant of Bergen (self promotion
of restaurant Sjøtønnen in Hotel Clarion Admiral in Bergen) had nothing
better to offer. The restaurant Enhjørningen is a much better place to enjoy
seafood but the wine list is also a rather poor one. Had a Petit Chablis 2003
there - good with seafood but else nothing to report about. Score: 50 + 3 for
optic + 11 for bouquet + 14 for taste + 4 for overall = total score of 82.

Superiori, Piedmont, Italy: Medium ruby, dense tears, no sediment. Clean dark
fruit, cool, alcoholic, oaky nose. Medium body, fruity acidity, nice tannins,
toasty, bit thin in the middle. Medium finish. Drink this rather cool at
