Maz & Jose James « Richard Spaven » 2011

The calibrated rhythm force with an intriguing melody of synths and acoustic guitar, skips on the pale yellow shade of this young viognier, which long fat tears slide down the side of the glass.

The sensual male voice of the star “José James” comes gently contrast with olfactory feminine elegance of the wine, with expressive aromas of acacia flower, linden, white peach.

Mouth enveloped, round, filled with fruit, generous coats smooth kinematic at warm and agile rhythmic instrumentation.

A modern wine with final a slight minerality (chalk) which reverberates with delight on this electro-soul very contemporary composition.

The Budos Band « Rite of the ancients » 2010 (The Budos Band III LP)

Aged 16 months in barrels, this wine cloaked by an intense black robe captures the light in the image of the Hammond organ as a meteorite striking the primer of the piece.

The aromatic bouquet gushing with enthusiasm to our nose exalts fragrances around the cherry, cassis and vanilla to the smoky notes: all reflected in the powerful orchestration of coppery stimulated by the riff of the guitar on a background of afro percussions .

Persistent notes of red fruits with smooth tannins unite with subtle flavors of cola, licorice enveloping finesse the palate, while highlighting the musical range punctuated with energy by the trumpets peplum.

This divine harmony between wine and music, coats our senses transporting increments eurythmiques in a classy instrumental progression, revealing the diverse complexity of this Hispanic bottle.
