Dave Angel « Arabian nights » 1995 (Tales of the unexpected LP)

This exceptional wine already tasted in the 2010 vintage at the Pressoir d’Argent (P. Nibaudeau Chef), at a dinner in Bordeaux in October last year mentioned on my blog, confirms its unique class of Val de Loire aera. Its gold amber magical plot and we enchants as a novel of a thousand and one night: the title of the piece in accordance to reflects!

The carafe for several hours is evolve the bouquet at all times. Opening a very fine oxidative point disappears very quickly to make room for a multitude of aromas ranging from dried fruits (walnuts, almonds), white flowers, to the baked apples, quince, honey, pine resin and subtle mineral notes: the gong to the intro of the composition accompanied by a sweet melody to the soft sensation announces a pronounced olfactory wealth.

But the biggest surprise comes when tasting in the mouth and, on several occasions during 24-hour decantation, realized: this joy to the palate is supported by a heavenly voice (off solo) in the middle of piece to continue on a foot of deep drum illustrating silex minerality firmly combined with an amazing freshness. The lascivious melody of music reveals the tasty world complexity, smoothness, tone and persistence.

A dazzling wine with energy, to discover with insiders to do not miss all the secrets of this real property ‘nectophile’ tale! Harmony all in contrast between the bio-dynamic wine and the organo-synthetic music.
