RHUM RHUM Liberation 2010 tonight after dinner i had this exceptional spirit made by a master distillery from Italy Gianni Capovilla is a new release in his line Rhum Rhum. An ageing rhum called Liberation 2010. Born from the pure juice of the sugar cane fermented, this rhum is aged in barrels where previously have been rested french white wines. Elegant, soft and rich, however the sweetness is underline the alcohol and the complexity come close to  the palate after a while the spirit rested in the glass. I was impress for the oddness. The label tell a vintage 2010 which his related to the year is bottled so Liberation.

10 It alian red wines to try: personally that is my point of view, most of the wines they are part of my testing and emotion i got with them:  Trentino: Tenuta S. Leonardo S. Leonardo 2001 cabernet Sauvignon: combines blueberry, blackberry, graphite, dark chocolate and roast coffee bean. This displays impressive intensity on the palate while retaining noteworthy elegance. Ripe acidity gives definition to what is a deceptively powerful and fine-grained wine. A superb version of a cool-climate cabernet-consistent .  Piemonte Barolo Monfortino Riserva 2002, Giacomo Conterno Giacomo Conterno is the king of Langha his Barolo it is like a monument, old school, long maceration on the skin. 8 years matured in big Slavonian oak... The best wine in the world.                                               Trentino Alto Adige Eu...

Fuck french wines so good and delicious, chateau Rayas at Fonsalette, Reynaud family made perhaps the best white wine in Rhone Valley Grenache blanche and Clairette so clean fine and complex... beautiful to aging.... Didier Dagenau doesn't need to be presented the name talk himself "Silex" over all the best Sauvignon in the world... Drunk them with the best sommelier in Lion Thieabault current manage the wine list a Vue de Monde Melbourne.

Peter Schell an Australian young punk's winemaker. In his wines want purity fruit, less alcohol and more finesse without losing structure he said to Decanter June 2012. I got the purity of the fruit a bit picked or cooked, however the fruit definitely is there, the tannin smoother lifted with a beautiful tonic minerality. He said fruit purity is captured by harvesting earlier, the stems are using to inject spice and perfume, wild yeast give personality to the wine and large french oak with a long lees aging give the final complexity... Too watch .... Next one if a find a bottle would Bress, Le Grand Coq Noir by Adam Marks. good sunday afternoon with Spinifex. Salute

Palistorti di Valgiano Bianco (50% Vermentino, 25% Trebbiano and Malvasia, 25% Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc – Vintages 2010) – 2010 was a warm vintage and the wine really carried its piercing acidity and flinty minerality through the finish. I liked it 2010. Great value...... Great wine for a winery in Lucca in Tuscany using biodynamic farming and international grapes blended with native Tuscany grapes as Vermentino and Sangiovese. A wine; between underground approach and conventional approachiness. To go with a Pop art and contemporary artist:

superb example from the Moric line of wines by Roland Velich, a Burgundy-obsessed producer who is showing that the ancient Blaufränkisch grape (known as Lemberger in Washington State and Kekfrankos in Hungary) can produce fascinating reds in white wine country. Very similar to Pinot Noir, this Blaufränkisch has a beautiful aroma of berries and sweet spices coupled with lean, elegant fruit. This wine is alive: Taste the way it changes in the glass. Savagnin  Emanuel Houillon Arbois Pupillin   Pretty shy on opening. Given some air, this unfurls on the palate that Overnoy textural cloud that delicately saturates every nook and cranny, infusing it with fractal complexity. The veil character is strong, but manages to be subtle and finessed. Lacy yet fierce acidity cuts down the middle. So subtle and beautiful, this is a wine for contemplation Two great wines from uncommon areas in Europe Burgeland in Austra and Jura in France... to go with alternative ex...

LATRICIÈRES CHAMBERTIN GRAND CRU Pinot Noir vineyard planted in 1961, 1971, and 1981. Surface Area: 0,33 hectares (0.82 acres) An impoverished and shallow marl and limestone soil. Next-door neighbor of the grand cru Chambertin. The wine affirms itself as relatively powerful, but its richness harmonizes nicely with the finesse and elegance of the wine. It is wise to wait a few years before drinking while this grand cru reaches its potential in the cellar. Great wine i had a long times ago I just read an article on it and i remember how delicious it was, i just copy the detail on the website on Simon Bize... A wine to have in the cellar at you house please

Benedicte & Stephane Tissot are excellents winemakers in Jura in France, they are producing interesting wines from berries in a 32 hectares in Arbois on the Cotes de Jura appelation. They working in biodynamic condition the use of Sulphur is very minimized. I had trough  job the chance to taste their Chardonnay and by chance i bought a Pinot Noir from 2009: Colour was a bit concentrate i assume the pigmentation in the fermentation was a bit longer from their cousins in Burgundy, show nice ripe fruit; currant and blackberries as secondary characteristic there were some tobacco and cinnamon running tighter with the fruit. Deeply length smooth tannin as every pinot has got, a chalky minerality on the palate with a freshness through the mouth for superb  acidity give a signal a long live to this vintage. To enjoy with friends in a beautiful winter afternoon.
