2018 Château Smith Haut-Lafitte CRU CLASSÉ PESSAC-LÉOGNAC A.C.
Blockbuster! Mehrmals verkostet und jedes Mal begeistert. Bereits in der Nase unglaublich ausdrucksstark, klassisch, expressive Noten von Blaubeere, Pflaume, Lakritz und schwarzer Schokolade. Am Gaumen an einen traumhaften Burgunder erinnernd mit einem Potpourri roter Früchte, Kräutern und Tabak. Chapeau Daniel und Florence Cathiard, euer Wein ist jeden Pfennig wert! James Suckling: 98-99/100 Punkte »This is incredibly complex with hazelnut, currant, berry and dried-flower character. The impression of a vat of fermenting cabernet. Full body, round and juicy tannins and a long, soft and silky finish. Shows the essence of the fruit here. Fascinating. Layered and complex.« Decanter: 98/100 Punkte »There is a luxurious, languorous feel right from the very first nose here, which continues step for step all the way through the palate. It's a highly impressive wine with an amazing texture - something that is starting to mark Smith Haut Lafitte out every year. Notes of dark chocolate, black cherry and liquorice stretch out through the rich palate, displaying tension and texture. 2% Petit Verdot completes the blend. Harvested 18 September to 10 October. 60% new oak. Drinking Window 2027 - 2042« Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 97-99+/100 Punkte »Composed of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot aging in 60% new barriques, the very deep purple-black colored 2018 Smith Haut Lafitte is a little shy to begin. With coaxing, it very slowly unfurls to reveal a heart-stopping perfume of violets, red roses, kirsch, black cherries and redcurrant jelly, before giving way to a profound core of warm blackcurrants, blackberry preserves, molten licorice and cinnamon stick with nuances of dried mint, orange blossoms (yes!) and cloves. Full-bodied, the fruit does veritable pirouettes on your palate, both elegant and powerful in its expression, coating the mouth with densely packed red and black fruits while revealing tons of mineral, floral and savory sparks, framed by exquisitely fine-grained tannins and bold freshness, finishing very long.« Falstaff: 96/100 Punkte »Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, dezente Randaufhellung. Feine Holzwürze, dunkles Waldbeerkonfit, zart nach Brombeeren und Kirschen, Nougat, tabakige Nuancen. Saftig, elegant, schokoladige Textur, eingebundene Tannine, süßer Nachhall, sehr gut anhaftend, sicheres Reifepotenzial.« Wine Spectator: 95-98/100 Punkte »Ripe and lush, with delicious waves of plum, blackberry and black currant preserve flavors laced with subtle charcoal, tobacco and licorice notes. There's a long flow through the finish. Beautifully rendered, capturing the ripeness of the vintage in spades without being heady at all.« Wine Enthusiast: 95-97/100 Punkte »Barrel Sample. This is a finely structured, impressive wine that displays bold tannins and a streak of freshness. This shows great balance between its bold structure and rich fruit. Its tannins are the sign of its aging potential.« Weinwisser: 19/20 »60 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 34 % Merlot, 4 % Cabernet Franc, 2 % Petit Verdot, 60 % neue Barriques, 21 hl/ha. Dichtes Granat mit aufhellendem Rand. Komplexes, leicht introvertiertes Bouquet mit Wildkirsche und frischen Küchenkräutern, dahinter Wacholder und Himbeeren. Am kräftigen Gaumen mit stützendem, engmaschigem Tanningerüst, salziger Textur, zeigt viel Souplesse und Kraft. Im gebündelten Finale mit schwarzen Oliven, tasmanischem Bergpfeffer und Cassis. Ein grosser SHL mit grossem Alterungspotenzial! Trinken 2028 bis 2048« Vinum: 17,5/20 Punkte »Wuchtig und vollmundig, doch auch knackig und mit grosser Frische, erstklassiges Tannin; überschwänglich, saftig, lang. 2022 bis 2030« Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.- Shop: Ludwig von Kapff

The Trees Beneath Umbriel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 94min
Twenty-eight years ago, we lost contact with an ill-fated settlement mission to the outer solar system. This mission was to Uranus II...also called Umbriel. Here, on the frozen blue moon circling that distant upside-down world, 58 of our bravest explorers vanished. What became of those doomed settlers after their final transmission? Why did they abandon the surface and seek refuge underground? If conditions there were poor, why had they not boarded their ship and returned? And what of the strange, unnatural things they reportedly encountered beneath the surface of dreary Umbriel? In this, the last record of the captain of that cursed expedition, the story of these unfortunate settlers unfurls. Will you answer the call to journey beneath Umbriel? ungekürzt. Language: English.

If There's a Heaven Above: A Roman à Clef , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 454min
If There's a Heaven Above takes the listener on a tour of the Southern California demi-monde Goth scene of the mid-1980s, as seen through the eyes of club-kid, Matt. The novel combines innocence with experience, sex and drugs, Love and Rockets, with just the right touch of poetry. It is a thrilling ride along the freeways and turntables of that era: when AIDS was new, Reagan was King, and hope was a wounded kitten, cared for by the creatures of the night. The novel unfurls like an alternate-universe John Hughes movie. The story of three young friends navigating love, sex, drugs, and heartbreak in the LA Goth scene is brilliantly rendered. You'll listen to it in one sitting. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Seth Kindred. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/143328/bk_acx0_143328_sample.mp3.
