Barrique-Haus Quickie the 33rd

(France – Roussillon, 14,5%)

Domaine Boudau ~ Patrimoine 2006

Patrimoine                                Silber

This delightful wine has overcome his peak. The taste is still outstanding but it finishes extreme dry. The dominating overriped fruit is still luring. Beautiful flavor. Bread Crust in the nose. Excellent balance, nice fresh touch. A lot of chocolate and nougat. Exceptional. Heart-warming.

Barrique-Haus Quickie the 30th

(France – Faugères, 14%)

Château De La Liquiere ~ Tucade 2005

Tucade                                Gold

A magnificent wine and a great personality. Dominating minerality from the schist. Aside glamorous dark fruit. In the background brilliant flavor and subtle wood. It comes wild and animalistic, notes of meat. A lot of power but elegant, slim, fresh and cool. Inspiring depth. Barnstorming.

Barrique-Haus Quickie the 20th

(France – Faugères, 14%)

Château De La Liquiere ~ Nos Racines 2007

Nos_Racines                                Silber

A beautiful and luring wine from the schist. Unaffected it provides an outstanding fresh minerality which is leading to a lovely “cool-velvet-silky” mouth feeling. Animalistic with a lot of tobacco and blueberry. Slim and tight with primarily power and a formative flavor from herbs and spices. Amazing.

Barrique-Haus Quickie the 15th

(France – Faugères, 14,5%)

Château Estanilles ~ Le Clos du Fou 2006

Estanilles_Clos_du_Fou                                Gold

What a gorgeous bottle of wine. Compelling from the beginning until the end. Everything is in a brilliant balance. The wood nearly not noticeable, the very ripe fruit shines juicy and attendant in the background. Noble, reposeful and classy. Enormous multilayered with extensive flavor. Demonstrates terroir all time. Inspiring and great fresh minerality from the schist. Magnificent!
