« Wine4Melomanes » wine and music pairing :
Nat Birchall « Keep the light shinning » 2010

 

A rare vintage, an appellation to discover, a luminous wine of golden yellow embodied by the title of the piece of music.

Driven by the lascivious melody of the soprano saxophone and the medium jazz piano, the pairing olfactory sensation plunges us amid aromas of quince, baked apples sprinkled with cane sugar with a hint of frangipane.

A fresh and precise attack in the mouth, where the same fruits and flavors flourish delicately while reflecting on the harmonious drumming game accompanied by fine tropical percussion.

An allured musical composition such as a mirror for this « Prince » wine in its name.

Tasted January 2013
