Återgår till pendeldrickning post-COVID.
Funderar ofta över vad som bra smaknoter bör innehålla. Min personliga favorit på CT är Paul S.
Här ett exempel på hans magi:
1991 R. López de Heredia Rioja Blanco Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia White Blend

Desmond's Birthday Dinner 2014 (Park Palace, Grand Park Hotel):90% Macabeo, 10% Malvasia. A lovely, characterful wine – this was one of the most interesting bottles on the night. It had a really complex nose, with ripe stone fruited aromas of peach and apricot, and then sweet flowers and cream, before more savoury notes of mineral, chalk and salty fig drifted in at the edges of the bouquet. Intriguing stuff. The palate was even more interesting. My first impression was of a savoury, even salty character, with a deep minerality and preserved kumquats and lime skins on the attack. These then ceded way to ripe red apples on the midpalate shading into sweeter, fleshier, yellow-fruit notes. Really pleasing stuff, with the salty and sweet melding together into a lovely complex whole, all this wrapped in a nicely focused and balanced package all the way into a rounded finish with fleshy stone fruit spiked with lemony acidity. A very good wine, full of character and drinking very nicely.
Inspirerande, eller hur?
