Wine Tasting 46: 2004 Finca Luzon from Jumilla, Spain

Jumilla is a municipality and also an up and coming wine producing region in south eastern Spain. It is located in the province of Murcia, along with other appellations (or they call Denomination of Origin or simply DO) such as Yecla, Alicante and Bulla. Jumilla’s wine production is particularly notable for its use of Monastrell (Mourvedre) as a varietal. Like many areas from the old world of wine making. Spain, the third largest producer of wine (after France and Italy), is going through a revolution despite its very rich winemaking tradition. New generation of winemakers are not just learning the art (and science) of winemaking from grandpa and papa but they are soaking much on modern winemaking knowledge and investing big money in both viticulture and modern wine making equipments. The new Spain has arrived and getting better vintage after vintage! The Finca Luzon is a Monastrell blend. Bright red fruits of strawberry, raspberry, red cherry with violets from the nose. Juicy on the palate, lots of ripe red fruits mixed with spicy herb, tobacco, violets with some stew fruit reduction characters then smoke, potpourri and a hint of varietal bitterness to follow in the finish. This is a good wine with food because of its acidity. (Rating 88-90 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.

Wine Tasting 43: 2003 Ch. de Carles fm. Fronsac Bordeaux, Fr

Chateau de Carles is from Fronsac in right bank of Bordeaux. Fronsac is considered as a ‘minor’ region north west of two more famous communes west of Pomerol and St. Emilion. Here the main grapes are merlot and Cabernet Franc as to the predominant Cabernet Sauvignon in the left bank. 2003 was a usually hot year. Much merlot in the Pomerol region shut down during the summer months due to the intense heat but St. Emilion did. Also, many minor producers benefit from the heat producing ripe and plummy fruit. The Ch. de Carles was sold at Cad – considered as a value buy. The wine has some vibrant red fruit (red cherry, red soft berry) intermixed with some earth, soil and barnyard characters. What came in tasting was it also carried some dark chocolate,ink block, graphite and licorice characters. The body was medium and soft. Not too complex but has reasonable solid structure. Drink up within the next 2-4 years. (Rating 86-88 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.

Lost In Francelation – Wine tasting in the Loire valley

How do you say ‘Cheers’ in French? This is just one of my several questions as I drink my way (!) through the Loire, enjoying some of France’s finest vintages… Another urgent question – how to possibly describe the taste of these very special wines?? I’ll have to depend on my friends at the chateau, during our little degustation (wine tasting). And of course, my imagination comes in handy too, with these original ways to describe wine: White flowers Pear Force Power ‘Long in the mouth’ (?) Citrusy Delicious a little Flinty …and very Refreshing! ‘Tchin’! Enjoy and take a look at the complete blog with even better videos at us.franceguide.com Get Lost in Francelation!

Wine Tasting 47: 2004 Marquis Philips Shiraz from Australia

Reference to Wine Tasting 45. From the same cut as its sibling but this wine from Sarah and Sparky Marquis is made from Shiraz. Wow! The nose…blackberry, black current, cola, toffee, black Maynard wine gum, sweet potpourri, violet, spicy wood and cream vanilla all emerged out. Forward and upfront, this powerful full bodied aromatic wine is packed with complexity that rivals the Sarah’s blend…this time it’s even fruitier with a hodgepodge of spices, black pepper, dark chocolate, black licorice and incense. The tannin is sweet but ripe. This is another full blown new world excitement especially especially accounting for the price. Viewers should make attention that Sarah & Sparky will not longer continue this project with USA importer Dan Philips after the 2005 vintage. Sob, sob, sob…hurry up — get the remaining stocks for Cad for a -50 wine! Can age further for 3-5 years to gain complexity! (Rating 91-93+ points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.

Wine Tasting 56: 2002 Thorn Clarke Shotfire Shiraz from Aust

I tasted both the 2002 and 2003 T & C Shotfire Quartage (Reference Episode 6 & 9) before with you so I decided to taste the shiraz here. This wine was big and complex and I needed some time to air the wine to wake it up. Like the Quartage, this upfront Aussie new world wine came with cassis, black plum liqueur, cola, dry violet and a herbal eucalyptus nose. The wine was dense but the tannin was surprisingly round. More of the above with Maynard black wine gum, black licorice and secondary tastes such as spice, dark chocolate and dark soya sauce followed. I thought the Quartage I tasted was more complex but less brute but this is hot climate Aussie style so it is! I suggest further aging needed. (Rating 90-92 points) by Michael Lam of the Beverage Review.
