Tasting notes - Berlin Tasting

Here follows my tasting notes from The Berlin Tasting in Copenhagen.

No. 1 - 2005 Chateau Mouton-Rothschild (Bordeaux)
Dark colour with intense smell of pencil, cigar, currant and spicy wood. It’s full-bodied, rich and concentrated but also with an upfront softness. 96/100.

No. 2 - 2004 Sassicaia (Tuscany)
Not so intense in the nose - a little cherry. The taste is cherry-like, a little currant and a strict acidity. Not particular welcoming! 90/100.

No. 3 - 2004 Sena (Chile)
Intense with black currant, balck berry, toast, vanilla. Full-bodied with dominating fruit and good harmony. 94/100.

No. 4 - 2005 Don Maximiano (Chile)
A little closed. Black currant, roasted wood and vanilla in the nose. Intense and delicious taste, fruity and lovely softened tannins. 94/100.

No. 5 - 2004 Solaia (Tuscany)
Intense with pencil, tobacco, black currant. In the mouth it’s very intense with fruity aromas and a very concentrated taste that just keep on and on. Big tannins - pure powerhouse. Thought it was Bordeaux… 97/100.

No. 6. - 2005 Chateau Latour (Bordeaux)
A little closed with black currant, toasted. Medium til full-bodied with mature fruit and a dominating oaky taste, not yet in place. Big tannins and acidity. Needs time. 93/100.

No. 7 - 2005 Sena (Chile)
Intense smell of black currant, jammy. Full-bodied with delicous fruit and a very intense fruit-dominated taste with oak and sweet tannins. 94/100.

No. 8 - 2004 Don Maximiano (Chile)
Very intense in the nose with black currant, mocca, vanilla. Full-bodied wine with good intense fruit and a rather straight taste with big and present tannins and an impressing, long lasting taste - the longest in the tasting. Very intense with depth and extremely long. Could be Bordeaux. 97/100.

No. 9 - 2005 Chateau Lafite-Rothschild (Bordeaux)
Intense in the nose with pencil, leather, oak, a little mocca. Medium to full-bodied and rather straight with a super structure. A long lasting wine build to age. Hard at the moment but intense and very long. Be patient! 96/100.

No. 10 - 2005 Vinedo Chadwick (Chile)
A little black currant, green pepper and roasted aromas in the nose. Full-bodied with luscious fruit, intensity and a soft and charming taste. 94/100.
