Flavor Profile
Tasting Notes
Colour
amber with reddish hues. Angelo Gaja is the star of Barolo, in the north-eastern part of Italy. Barolos are made out of nebbiolo, a very rough and drying variety when it’s young, but getting sumptuously complex and rich when the wine gets older
air Nose
curiously smoky and very caramelly and toffeeish at first nosing, with some nice toasted notes and lots of cooked red fruits (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries…) Gets very ‘jammy’, with some bold notes of Port, old roses and peonies. Just a little sulphur, burnt matchsticks… An interesting finishing again
restaurant Palate
bold, powerful, creamier and compacter than the ‘Madeira’. Very special, extremely fruity but not like a regular malt. Lots of Turkish delight, raspberry jelly, pomegranate, cranberry… Something slightly – and nicely - metallic (just like in many Barolos). Blackcurrants. Again, it’s not extremely complex but very, very enjoyable – and so different. Another finishing that works. Very well. 87 points . PETE McPEAT AND JACK WASHBACK MUSIC – Recommended listening - Nope, she's not Madonna, and yes, that's nu-jazz (or whatever they call it) but it is nicely crafted and Norway's Beady Belle has a great voice. And whether the Rhodes and the saxes are just samples or not isn't that important, is it? Anyway, have a go at Goldilocks.mp3 and make up your own mind. And please buy Goldilocks', I mean, Beady Belle's music. November 21, 2005 CONCERT REVIEW by Nick Morgan FAIRPORT CONVENTION ‘ACOUSTIC’ , 100 Club, London, November 16th 2005 Hey Serge, did you know that the esteemed historian and songwriter Ralph McTell wrote a wonderful tune about the greatest of all English patriots, William Conkere? You must remember William. He was the legendary English hero who fought off the invading hordes of Harold Hard at Hastings, and famously told “his lusty yeomen true” (I quote Ralph) to fire conkers from their longbows – one of which killed old Harold by hitting him in the eye. It was sad that William’s uncle was killed in the battle, but such was the nation’s gratitude that for years “all young men lusty and true” (Ralph again) were named ‘Norman’ in his memory. And we still celebrate William’s famous victory every October by eating conker pie. Hmmm. And of course by singing Ralph’s song: “Have you seen King William, true patriot and fair, he’s the lusty warrior we call the Conkere” Yikes! Now that’s what I call history meets poetry. Anyway it was a shame that Fairport Convention didn’t find time for this McTell classic (though that’s not too say it was a McTell free night) in their g
