My picks for August...

It’s August... and unfortunately weather in Copenhagen is not sun, fun and barbecues...

However, it's always a good time for a glass of wine, whether it’s a red, or a rosé, and especially when in good company during a lovely "summer" evening.

This is my wine picks for August.


2006 Domaine Tempier Bandol Rosé
Eye: Salmon color
Nose: Ripe melon, peach...
Palate: Fresh acidity, minerals and spices... perfectly balanced. At the beginning has felt bit frizzante, but this vanished after 10 minutes or so.
Finish: Long, lush, spiced finish.
Decanted: - (88 pts.)


2005 Arnaud Ente Bourgogne Blanc
Eye: Yellow
Nose: Reach, pear, touch of oak...
Palate: Medium-bodied, balanced and oily like. Perfect acidity, cream, pear, oak... Very elegant, precise and delicious. Seducer.
Finish: Very long and pleasant with mineral tones.
Decanted: -
Note: Delicious white Burgundy (89 pts.)


2003 Giuseppe e Figlio Mascarello Barolo Santo Stefano di Perno
Eye: Ruby
Nose: Blackberry, cherries, tar, earthy (porcini mushrooms)
Palate: Delicious, aromatic flowers, cedar, smoke... Complex and elegant.
Finish: Long and wonderful.
Decanted: 60 - 90 minutes
Note: Amazing wine and it's probably the best Barolo I've ever tasted (92 pts.)

Skål!
