Wow this was surprising. Reminds me of a mixture of Cornu et fils Ladoix Le s Carriers 2010 and Drouhin Chorey les Beaune 2009 that I had a few weeks a go, only it is half the price. next time I feel for old world pinot I'll be getting this. Smooth, creamy toffee, stewed red berries, barnyard, forest floor, mushroom, earth, bit of tannin on the finish to make it real wine, l ingering finish. My other favourite Austrian is also from burgenland (a Zwe igelt Barrique), so I guess thats my favorite region in Austria. A real gem at 22E, while the Cornu Ladoix was 40E.
2010 Conn Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley ****Really good specimen of napa cab at a low price tag (by danish standards. I noted the list price at the winery, which is above beringers midrange - so in CA it is not priced well). I like this more than beringer napa valley cab, but less than beringers kni ghts valley and it is well below the prices of those (less than half of the Napa Valley cab). Actually it is around the price of Raymond Napa cab, and it is slightly better. My parents noted "wow, how can cabernet sauvignon taste this good, it is us ually junk". Probably they only had the type from leftover grapes, overextr acted and adjusted with added sugar. Their eyes widened when they heard the price (20E).
2012 Château de Caraguilhes Corbières Prestige **(*)At first impression it is a good wine, dark fruits, a bit mineral and earth y, but in the back taste it feels like sugarwater, and thats saying a lot f rom a new world wine lover. disappointing at 22E.
2013 Trivento Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve **Not the worst of its kind. adequate for cooking. At first it did surprise w ith some real wine sensations, but in the end it tasted like diluted wine w ith added sugar. Good thing its only 10E. (the type that my parents are use d to)
