Tasting Notes of Wines around the World
The colour is medium straw. The perlage is delicate. On the nose a hint of Danish pastry, with some apples and pears. In the mouth not much, beside the bubbly sensation. No aftertaste worth mentioning neither.

The colour is pale ruby/garnet. On the nose mushrooms, eucalyptus and pepper. In the mouth elegant, with some strawberries flavour. The aftertaste is discreet, but medium long.

The colour is pale ruby. The nose is dominated by red fruits: raspberries, strawberries and cherries, with some dried roses. In the mouth smooth and pleasant. It is a shame that the aftertaste doesn’t last longer.

Seductive and sophisticated bouquet of forest floor, earth, eucalyptus, mushrooms and some strawberries. Overall a very nice aromatic complexity. (On a bit less poetic tone: at first it did remind me of cola.)
In the mouth as elegant as on the nose. Light and full, old and young at the same time. Subtle flavours of cherries, strawberries and bees wax. Continue reading “Clos Des Forêts Saint Georges 2009”

Elegant and very fine bubbles. A bit simple and light on the nose, but they improve over time.
Every one with his own peculiarities, but all three similar in their freshness and minerality. Crispy on the palate. 2003 with more body than the 2006. All a bit disappointing in the final. Overall I like the Rosé 2000 the best. Continue reading “Dom Pérignon 2003, 2006 and Rosé 2000”

At first no much sensations, neither on the nose nor in the mouth. After some time it opens up and delivers some strawberries notes.
Overall this Pinot Noir is unappealing and the experience pretty disappointing, especially for a 50 CHF bottle. Continue reading “J. Drouhin Volnay 2012”
