Boku Heim midweek tasting

The first Boku Heim midweek tasting after the Easter holiday focused on Riesling from Austria. If you note the difference between wine 1 to 4 and wine 5, you will see that the vineyard soil (primary rock 1 to 4 and loess: 5) is quite easily detectable in Austrian wines. Normally I do prefer Riesling from rocky soils as they are more mineral driven and are showing interesting flavors like stone fruits (peaches, apricot). On the other hand GVs from loess are really good too.

Note: All wines were tasted blind.  

1. Riesling „Zöbing“ 2008 from Weingut Hannes Hirsch - good - about €9,50

bit CO2 visible, bright yellow hue, lemon/lime flavors, with more O2 stone fruit detectable, touch of loess, lean aroma, good sugar/acid balance, citrus fruits dominating on the palate, easy drinking, middle length.

2. Riesling „Klassik“ 2008 from Weingut Gschweicher - good - €7

pale yellow hue, explosive nose, hints of SB aroma due to strong aroma profile, lemon/lime and some cold fermentation flavors, lean body, good acid structure with lower RS level than 1, mineral finish, summer terrace wine.

3. Riesling Smaragd „Ried Kirnberg“ 2007 from Weingut Sigl - very good 

golden hue, hints of lemon, ripe peaches, quite evolved nose, petrol, middle body, good acid/RS balance with good pressure on midpalate, good length, gets better every minute with more O2, quite lingering.

4. Urgesteins Riesling „Reipersberg“ from Weingut Gschweicher- very good - €9,50

pale golden hue, typical stone fruit flavors with more apricot than peaches, good acid structure, lingering, good.

5. Riesling Steinfeder „Terrassen“ 2008 from Domäne Wachau - good

bright yellow hue, prominent loess flavors, totally different than all the others but not unpleasant, very balanced but far on the softer side, overall on the broader side, loess driven on the palate.

6. Blaufränkisch „Lüss“ 2006 from Weingut Lentsch - very good 

dark red hue, sour cherries and cherries, maybe a hint of MLF flavor, vanilla and spices, dark chocolate on the palate, good length, mouth filling, oak very good integrated, lingering. 

Boku Heim tasting Midweek tasting

First day above 20 deg ... I love springtime!!! ... to celebrate this event in style we decided to start the BBQ for the first time this year accompanied by different beers and of course some wines. 

The more serious tasting was done before. Bernhard K. brought some special bottles for our midweek “Boku Heim tasting“ to celebrate his Bachelor degree. Congrats from my side!!

Tasting team for this time: Elmar, Bernhard K. and I.

Note: all wines and beers tasted blind!

1. Perwolff 2004 from Weingut Krutzler - very good

dark red hue with some purple reflections, fruity, dark cherries and blackberries, pro

minent tannin quite elegant and balanced, maybe a bit Cab, good acid structure, lingering, good length.

2. Blaufränkisch „Altenberg“ 2004 from Weingut Paul Achs - very good

darker red hue than 1, purple reflections, red berries, oak and blackberries on the nose, soft tannin with good structure, lingering.

Maybe the more interesting tasting was the beer tasting. In this tasting we tried to answer the most complex Austrian question. Austrians are normally very profound connoiseurs regarding their favourite drink ... BEER. We are drinking about 120 liters per capita ... we should know our brand at least we always say we do. The question was: Are we able to recognise our favourite beer in a blind tasting??? Find below the most interesting results.

Boku Heim tasting Midweek tasting

Two wines are featured in this weeks tasting. Two totally different white wines. A mineral-driven  Riesling from the Rheingau and a buttery, full bodied Chardonnay. Anyway both are real value-for-money wines.

1. Riesling "trocken" 2007 from Weingut Prinz von Hessen - good - €10

rather pale hue, pure minerality on the nose, hints of quinces, obvious german acid structure, very distinctive, a bit short.

2. Chardonnay "Barrique" 2006 from Weingut Esterhazy - good - €7,99

peaches and pears, buttery mellow nose underlined with well integrated oak flavors, bit one dimensional, oak tannins not fully integrated on the palate, soft, could do with a bit more acid structure.

Boku Heim tasting Midweek tasting

Bernhard K. and I tasted 2 Wines in this weeks "Boku Heim tasting". It is very quiet in our student house as this and the next 2 weeks are holidays at BOKU University. Anyway, we´ve got loads to do as Bernhard has to write some papers and I am busy with exams.

1. Pinot Noir "Kreideberg" 2006 from Weingut Wagentristl - good/very good

pale red hue, still purple colored, chalky, Iod, spices and cinnamon on the nose, hints of oak, truffel scent, very smooth tannins, quite lingering but could do with a bit more punch.

2. Shiraz 2003 from Rust en Vrede Estate - good/very good - €24 (Weinplateau Wien)

deep dark red hue, spicy, vanilla, very ripe, hints of fruit in rum, bit meaty but not unpleasant, hints of burnt oak, very powerful on the palate (14,5 %abv), but quite balanced and lingering.

One of my favorite Shiraz form South Africa!

Boku Heim tasting

Boku Heim Midweek tasting. We opened the CH to complement our catfish filets.

1. Chardonnay 2008 from Weingut Lentsch - good

pale golden hue, fruitmix on the nose, hints of bananas and sweet melon, lemon and lime, acid structure but balanced, easy drinking.

2. Malbec "Estiba I" 2007 from Bodegas Esmeralda, Mendoza - ok - about €10 (Merkur) 

very dark red, nearly black color, smokey,  some acetone flavors, hints of cabbage, rather rustic tannin, alcoholic edge on midpalate, short.

indigenous Austrian varieties ..

We opened 2 wines which seemed quite interesting.

1. "Himmelstiege" Riesling Federspiel 2007 from Domäne Wachau - very good - €6,90

minerality driven on the nose, peach and other stonefruits, hints of oranges, very flinty, good acid structure on the palate, good balance (6,7 TA; 2,9 RS)

2. Zweigelt Reserve 2004 from Weingut Dolle - ok - €10,30 (Interspar) 

from the beginning rather open on the nose (quite low sulfur level!!), very soft tannins, just little structure, rating on the border to yech! due to this low sulfur level, disappointing. Maybe this state of maturation was caused by insufficient storage conditions.

Anyway, it was really astonishing to us that this is the current winner of the "Zweigelt Reserve" category of the "SALON Österreichischer Wein 2008". 

3. Heulichin 2006 from Weingut Wagentristl - very good/delicious 

cherries and sour cherries prominent on the nose, hints of chocolate and mocha coffee, spices, black pepper, blackberries, a little bit of eucalyptus, some oak structure on the palate but driven by grape tannins, nice length.

Energy drinks

Just for fun we tasted some Austrian energy drinks. Bernhard and I were pretty sure that we would perfectly recognize "Red Bull" but it turned out to be more difficult. Here are the results ...

1. Red Bull

bit soapy, sugar and acid in good balance, doesn´t taste "just sweet".

2. Burn Extra Strong

red color, overripe blackberries on the nose, same flavor plus red currant on the palate, ways to sweet.

3. S Budget Energy Drink

nearly perfectly similar as 1., just a little bit sweeter, astonishing.

wine rating system

I am proud to introduce the new wine rating system for the wines I/we are tasting. 

The Boku Heim tasting crew agreed (after long discussions) on this new rating system inspired by the book of Dr. Tyler Colman (Wine politics, blog:Dr Vino's wine blog) and based on the rating system of Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher (columnists and bloggers for the Wall Street Journal; Wine Notes and Tastings; Columns & Blogs - Lifestyle - WSJ.com).

The advantage (for critics and consumers) of numbers is ... they are absolute! 93 points are better than 88 pts (on a scale from 0 to 100 ...  in Austria more from 85 to 100).

On the other hand wine consumers (or every other person) are tending more to describe their percepted sensations with adjectives than numbers. Something is ugly, good, bad, delicious, crap, ... You don´t say your steak, your date or your wine was 88 ... The first decision is: was it GOOD or BAD.

The key of this problem is hidden in the definition of absolute: 

absolute: a value or principle that is regarded as universally valid or that may be viewed without relation to other things

95 points are universally valid ... but just for the person who has tasted the wine.

without relation to other things ... what the heck ... first of all we are the other things and there is always a relation to us ... as well as the tasting environment, the food we eat with our wine, our mood ... everything influences our perceptions and therefore the very same wine tastes different on a terrace in Italy or 3 months later at home.

All this things made us think about to adopt a better system to express our perceptions of a certain wine. The rating system relies on adjectives rather than numbers and may vary on the same wine in different situations. (Nobody is perfect!)

These adjectives are:

The rating system

yech (speak: jek) - wines with winemaking related faults (cork taints and oxidation failures are excluded and stated as cork or ox)

ok - wines without faults but simple.

good - satisfactory wines which are showing nice flavors on the nose and the palate. Good value for money.

very good - wines are showing good expression of the variety with very typical aromas on the nose and the palate. Good value for money but definitely in a higher price range.

delicious - extremely good wines with great power, balance and length, with potential.

extraordinary - exceptional wines, perfectly balanced with great potential.

Half steps between adjectives are possible!

Boku Heim tasting

Today is the annual Christmas Party in our students house (BOKU Heim). We are preparing ourself mentally with some wines ;-)

1. grüner veltliner! 2008 "Junger Österreicher" from Weingut Gschweicher - ok/good

fresh, green apple flavors, lively acid structure.

2. Zweigelt 2007 from Weingut Gmeiner (wine from upper austria!!!!) - ok/good

fruity with oak notes on the nose, chocolate, hard tannins, young.

the wines from the party:

3. Chardonnay Spätlese 2006 from Weingut Kaiser/Matzen - yech

dull, dirty, moldy nose. (Our first thought was cork but the cork itself smelled ok. Our conclusion was a moldy barrels or pipes).

4. St. Laurent Landwein from Weingut Kaiser/Matzen - yech

(Landwein is the stage below quality wine and therefore is no vintage stated)

unclean, dirty old barrel, moldy, phenolic. As this is the second wine of the estate it seems to be a serious problem within the winery!

To drink another decent wine this evening we opened a bottle of 

5. Zweigelt 2007 from Weingut Unger - good

cherry, sour cherries, blackberries, on the nose, slight coffee flavors and tannin structure on the palate.

Boku Heim tasting .. the next day!

Bernhard Gschweicher brought us the most difficult wine to taste. Blind tasted no one had any idea what this could be!

1. Weingut Gschweicher Uhudler from grape Isabella" 07 (you can´t buy this wine as it is illegal in this region)

pale red hue, extrem strawberry flavors, bit phenolic, strange but interesting!

In front of his house is this big old vine and last year was the first time they made wine from it. Just for fun of course.

We retasted the wines from yesterday and some new stuff as we visited our fellow students Rudi Wagentristl and Flo Alphart.

2. GB Gebirg 07

more open than yesterday, complex flavors, walnut, minerality, decent!

3. Rosenberg Reserve 06

spicy, red fruit, structured palate, bit high in alc., some dry tannins, ok to good!

5. Weingut Unger Merlot 2007

blackberries, coffee notes, structured but smooth tannins, more length than 4., decent with potential.

All wines were tasted blind, but drunk with knowledge!

1. Weingut Gschweicher Gebirg´ Grauburgunder 07

not explosive flavors on the nose (but it is a Pinot Gris and that s very typical!), bold body and good length, hints of nuts and exoitc flavors on the palate, good.

2. Weingut Gschweicher Grüner Veltliner "Kellerberg" 06 (actually Kellerberg Weinviertel DAC)

fresh, fruitforward style, hints of gooseberries and lychee, ananas flavors, spicy on the palate, long extractsweet finish (14 abv.%) alcohol very good integrated, very good.

4. Viu Manent Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 06 / Valle de Colchagua / Chile

cassis fruit and oak on the nose, with more air and at higher temperature more Brett flavors.

Viele Gute Sachen

Zur Beruhigung meiner Nerven vor den 2 Prüfungen am Nachmittag haben wir die Reste des Sauvignon zu Mittag geleert.

Nach einem Tag hat er den Rest CO2 auch verloren und wirkt durch die mangelnde Säurestruktur schal, aber die Aromen in Nase und Gaumen sind nach wie vor sehr intensiv.

Zur Feier der abgelegten Prüfungen, als Abschlussfeier des Semesters und als Abschiedsfeier unseres BOKU Heim Verkostungsteammitglieds Bernhard Köck, der für die nächsten 7 Monate bei Isabel Estate in New Zealand arbeiten wird, haben wir noch ein paar Flaschen geköpft. Bernhard wird uns über seinen eigenen Blog bdiw-blog.blogspot.com über New Zealand auf dem laufenden halten. Wir wünschen dir viel Spass und nimm uns ein paar gute SBs und PNs mit!!

1. GV 2007 von Weingut Willi Bründlmayer

lössig in der Nase, nicht sehr intensiv, am Gaumen Säurestruktur.

2. GV Urkristall 2007 von Weingut Gschweicher

im Vergleich zu 1 springt der aus dem Glas, sehr exotisch, leichtes Eiszuckerl, wirkt fast süss in der Nase, am Gaumen die gleichen Aromen, vor allem Mango, wie in der Nase, sehr gute Säurestruktur, super Wein.

3. CS Knights Valley 2002 von Beringer / St. Helena / USA

marmeladige Noten und Holz in der Nase, leicht oxi obwohl gerade erst geöffnet, am Gaumen sehr weich aber mit keiner Struktur im Hintergrund, die 20€ eindeutig nicht wert, hätte man schon vor 1 - 2 Jahren trinken sollen. 

Möglicher Grund ist die "Höhensonne" vom Merkur die ihm während der Lagerung sicher nicht geholfen hat. Die Riesenauswahl ist ja gut und schön, aber was hilft es wenn alle Wein so rund um die Körpertemperatur in den Regalen stehen.

4. Pinot Noir 2004 von Weingut Paul Achs

in der Nase Mokkanoten vordergründig, ziemlich viel Holz, Frucht eigentlich keine feststellbar, am Gaumen gut strukturiert und daher auch ein schöne Länge, aber auch das Holz dominierend.

Zum Gaumen freimachen gabs noch

5. Gelber Muskateller 2007 von Weingut Regele

CO2 sichtbar, sehr traubige, typische Aromen in der Nase, gar nicht so spritzig wie erwartet nach den Roten, könnte eine Spur mehr Säure haben, aber trotzdem ein guter fruchtiger Wein.

Sauvignon Blanc

Zur Belohnung für die abgelegte Englisch Prüfung gabs heute New World Sauvignon zum Abendessen.

1. Sauvingon Blanc 2007 von Montana / New Zealand

vegetale Nase, Paprika und Brennnessel, Litschi, am Gaumen auch Litschi, könnte eine Spur mehr Säure haben, aber insgesamt ein sehr intensiver typischer New Zealand Sauvignon.

Zahel und Jurtschitsch

Heute gibts mal Wiener Wein zum Abendessen und da ja eine keine ist auch einen Riesling von Jurtschitsch.

1. GV Riedencuvee 2007 von Weingut Zahel

wirkt lössig in der Nase, eher burgundisch als pfeffrig, eindimensional, Löss auch am Gaumen, schlank und Säurestruktur, Abgang recht kurz. Na ja.

2. RR Sonnhof Urgestein 2006 von Weingut Jurtschitsch

greifte Nase, leichtes Petrol, Säure und RZ spürbar, nicht sehr harmonisch und auch relativ kurz.

Steirerwein und Zantho

Zum heutigen Abendessen gab passend zu den Flusskrebsen einen steirischen Wein:

1. Gelber Muskateller 2007 von Weingut Walter Skoff

wenig fruchtig, nussig, sortenuntypisch, (blind hätte man auf einen WB getippt), am Gaumen deutlicher Zuckerrest, unter frisch fruchtig, spritzig stellt man sich schon etwas anderes vor.

Eine Flasche ist für 3 eindeutig zu wenig.

2. Zantho Zweigelt Reserve 2005 von WG Andau

fruchtig, Kirscharomen und Holz in der Nase, Tannin noch nicht gut eingebunden, mit mehr Luft wird der Wein am Gaumen immer bitterer.

3. Chardonnay 2007 von Weingut Gwscheicher (der von vor 1 Woche)

Eiszuckerl, breiter und weicher als vor einer Woche, aber CH typischer, Säure am Gaumen spürbar aber die macht den Wein haltbar.

4. Pinot blanc 2007 von Weingut Unger

leichtes Eiszuckerl, nussig und sehr sortentypisch, am Gaumen sehr nussig, rund und strukturiert durch die Säure, Schmelz am Gaumen.

Heute Abend gibts die frisch gefüllten Weine vom Weingut Gschweicher aus Röschitz.

Bernhard Gschweicher ist mein Zimmer- und Studienkollege. Seine Weine haben mich durch die letzten 3 Jahre meines Studiums begleitet und er hat auch einige Auszeichnung von renommierteren Verkostern als mir erhalten. Trotzdem hab ich sicher mehr als alle "Renommierten" zusammen davon getrunken.

1. Urkristall GV 2007:

reife Äpfel, Zitrus- und Grapefruitaromen in der Nase, am Gaumen überraschend extraktreich und strukturiert durch die Säure, sehr gut.

2. Chardonnay 2007:

in der Nase etwas verhaltener als der GV, könnte weicher und fetter sein am Gaumen, aber schöner Wein trotzdem.

3. Chardonnay 2007 von Weingut Unger:

Litschi und exotischer Fruchtcocktail, Nuss und Mandel, ausgewogen in Zucker und Säure, sortentypisch (VKN von Bernhard und Bernhard).
