My taste has indeed changed.<br /><br />@ Nanna – Thank you – I try to make an effort on the image part, because it’s also a passion and I think it’s really fun. I recently explained what I mean by “tallness” in the post: "2010 Domaine des Vignes du Maynes “Cuvée 910”"<br /><br />“When I use tallness as a descriptor it’s often linked to the way the acidity, minerality acts together with the fruit core and structure of the wine. It’s almost like an association to a person, which walks with a straight back with his, or hers head high. I will never use tallness if the acidity is flabby - impure/overripe fruit core and the wine is missing minerality.”<br /><br />If I need to “spoon” with US wines – I think they HAVE to be born from Pinot Noir…so you are on the right track. <br />Cabernet, Chardonnay or the Rhone Rangers are just undrinkable to me….and I have tasted a fair share…and of course there are a few exceptions. These wines is constantly crossing my oak tolerance and I sometimes feel they are more about winemaking than nature…sounds a bit fluffy, I know. But then again – I have no idea about “true” US-terroir – I just feel many fall into a category of “circus wine” – just are made to make noise, impress journalist and earn high scores. <br />I have to date with my friend Anders – who has a real passion for US-wines….I am sure he knows Ms. Robinson og Linda Murphy Ross. Thanks for the tip. <br /><br />Best from,<br />ThomasThomashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02092972086667650035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367424679032651122.post-13880054622585647632011-09-15T17:53:40.185+02:002011-09-15T17:53:40.185+02:00Very interesting!

What do you mean by a wine lacking 'tallness'?<br /><br />Btw: I'm not sure I dare submit any of my Californian darlings to your critical scrutiny, but if you are in a generous mood some day, you should try COBB Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir. It's one of the new 'True Sonoma Coast'producers that Ms. Robinson og Linda Murphy Ross have been lauding for it's elegance and brightness. I'd love to hear what you think - if it's sufficiently Burgundian in its style to please your picky palate :)<br /><br />Take care, NannaNanna Wang Carlsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03109930669102186506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5367424679032651122.post-37230654098874484452011-09-12T16:19:09.442+02:002011-09-12T16:19:09.442+02:00Well,
