The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below-average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
I started this channel four years ago and back then I did not know where this journey would take me. No one watched my videos back then, but I did not care as I enjoyed the process, and I believed that this channel could become a special place.
I wanted to create a community for wine lovers on CZcams in order to make the world taste better and I think we are achieving that. I like reaching you great people on this channel, introducing you to wines that you never heard of, or opening dream bottles to share that experience with you..
I have spent tens of thousands of dollars on wine for this channel so that I can independently review those bottles - no strings attached. In the last years, many of you have reached out to me wanting to share some bottles with me and I thought why not make a video about opening some of those bottles there are interesting. Therefore I am opening wines that I did not buy for a change.
However, all of those wines were sent to me by subscribers who weren’t involved in making them.
So let's taste through the lineup that includes wines from one of the northernmost winemaking countries, one from one of the oldest winemaking countries, and one from a very special vintage.
You have to admit it... Yours are the best subscribers...
True!
Thanks to those who shared. And thanks KB for the continued excellence.
translation of the swedish: "fermented in steel barrel and then aged 11 months in previous used oakbarrel"
Had a bottle of the 1998 Chateau Musar last year and I was already giggling when you said that it will be fine to use your standard corkscrew. Yeah, it was a mess opening it...
Marcus, Voytek and Boyd are 🌟star subscribers🌟, these look great.. Well chosen too.
Nice one Konstantin. 🍷🌟👍
big up to whoever sent in the Musar knowing the cork would fall apart. Legendary prank!
Very cool and very generous of those subscribers to 'donate' their wine! Nice that we can watch Konstantin enjoy them; we do also, vicariously, as a bonus!
Cheers
Tony
Konstantin and Andre Hueston Mac are the top 1 wine education and information people on YT, but Konstantin is top of the heap.
100% agree. My by far two favorites. Would love a collaboration
musar! One of My favorites!
I love that you showed your difficulty getting the Musar open. I’ve experienced the same thing with older Musar as well.
You never ‘disappoint’ ! Thanks Herr Baum for letting us drink vicariously thru you.
That was a lot of fun. The light colored shirt made the colors pop on camera, too.
I had the Musar 98 at my wedding a few months back. Such a complex and fantastic wine. I managed to get a case to drink on anniversaries so hopefully it’s got a few more years left in it!
Chateau Musar is my favourite wine but when it has some age(I wudnt drink it young).. The 98 is absolutely superb lots of earthy notes just a beautiful wine.. Cheers for the tasting Konstantin 👍
Hahah I love Musar and have had quite a few vintages. When opening a bottle I can always rely on having a:
1. beautiful wine
2. cork that breaks
My first Musar was the 1981 vintage drunk in 1989. It completely blew me away. I've loved it ever since (apart from the cork problems). My next bottle is the 2006 which will be drunk for my daughter's 18th birthday in a few weeks.
Thank you Konstantin and thanks to those who have sent these wines. That made a very nice experience for us all!
What a shock in the opening, shame on you Konstantin!
Aha, on the journey from Warsaw to Prague. Looking forward to this.
On a journey from Poland to Greece to Italy. Camping and drinking fine wines. Found an excellent sommelier in Nea Potidea, Greece, The shop with a cellar in the Palace Potidea. His name is Sergey Pashenkov. Best wines at affordable prices. My husband and I enjoy your programs. Thankyou.
Enjoy Prague!!
Dude! You never use your Durand or ah-so on these old bottles it is hard to watch lol.
I've had trouble too with Musar corks. As for the Piedmont wine, vintage means everything with old bottles from personal experience. The 3 strongest vintages in the '60s to my impression were '61, '64 and '67. Personally I find the '64s generally stronger than the others, but of course bottle variation and producer variation create exceptions. As for decanting these: seriously, give it 5+ hours. These old Nebbiolo wines have been locked up in the bottle for so long that they need time to wake up! Unlike Burgundy, don't be afraid of leaving old Piedmont open for a while before drinking. In strong vintages, a long decant time actually helps improve the tasting experience.
Great stuff Marcus!Representing Malmö :)
I am just starting my wine CZcams journey. So great to hear about yours. Gives me incentive to keep going.
A wonderful experience to share, thank you for that! I already have the wine I might be sending you for a similar tasting…! 😅
Definitely an interesting format to taste subscribers wines! It would even be more exciting if you would taste them blind I think 😊
That's quite of a trio!....
I never had any Swedish wine. That pinot sounded correct and would love to try some, or any wine from Sweden.
I've had Lebanese wine maybe three times in my life. That Musar sounds like my kind of juice 😋......brett is such a divider in wine communities. Some despise it, some find it intersting.....I dig it, as long as it's not too over the top.
Love old Nebbiolo!....the color, the nose, palate....sounds like you had a winner 😋👍🍷.The oldest Nebbiolo I ever had was a 67 Borgogno Barlolo. That was almost 20yrs ago now and it was still fresh as a daisy!. That Barbaresco sounds so good!
............you need to start wearing a bandolier of durands!
Community and connection above all! Thanks to everyone involved.
Konstantin, where can I send you some Czech wine? I really want you to review it 😉
Interesting … send me an email to info@meinelese.de
Konstantin, I believe the Minuto Barbaresco was part of the estate owned by Luigi & Mario Minuto who split the estate into Cascina Luisin and Moccagatta. Roberto Minuto is the current owner of the former.
Thank you !
A very good video, especially because you tasted musar. I love Musar, and especially like the 1998 because of its fine elegance. The proportion of Cinsault is higher in this vintage than usual, so that the wine has developed a beautiful, light elegance and has matured well. I am always surprised how much Musar benefits from decanting, and that even small vintages, such as the 1996, develop a wonderful depth after a few hours in the carafe. Musar may not always be easy, but it is always an experience.
Great fun video, more prep required on wine cork removal😂
Konstantin...do you mean "TASTING" wine gifts? This is a delicious presentation!
Amazing video! It’s special to experience these unique wines with you. Thanks to the other contributors for making this video possible!
Another great video. I definitely derive much enjoyment from vicariously experiencing the tasting of wines through you and your channel. Thanks.
Great video! More like this please!
I just opened yesterday a 1961 Barbaresco from Marchesi di Barolo. I carefully selected the bottle among a bunch of other bottle's from the 60's from Marchesi di Barolo, making sure to check the bottle with the wine which was sitting higher in the neck. Well, i opened the bottle and it wasn't just alive, it was frankly outstanding. Of course there was a lot of tertiary aromas, but the wine showed also a lot of (matured) fruits, and the body was pretty intact, with tannins still kicking. In my experience, when the bottle is kept in good cellars, Barbaresco and Barolo can age for decades, and will always show something interesting. A plus factor, here in northern Italy you can find them in local old stores, for around 20 euros, while online they go ten time that price
Wow!
Any recommendations for where? I am with my wife’s family close to Piemonte regularly and would definitely make a side trip to get some bottles like this!
@@violawit Im' from the city of Piacenza, Emilia Romagna, which is nearby Piemonte. As strange as it may sound, the best way to get those old bottles for cheap prices is to go to local flea market at Cortemaggiore, Caorso and Pontenure, which are held monthly, and ask for them. As for the 1961 Barbaresco i'm referring to, i bought it at a flea market shop at Pontenure, but keep in mind that is not a wine shop but a general store, and therefore bottles come and go at a weelky bases. As for real wine shops which sells old bottles (from affordable ones to more expensive old glories) the best two you can find here are "Enoteca da Renato", in the centre of Piacenza, and "Enoteca San Nicola", in Bobbio, which is also a B&B. A lot of of grocery stores too, in Val Trebbia (a very beautiful valley), have old bottles just lying on the shelf
Love your reviews Konstantin, always entertaining, instructive, and informative. Cheers 🥂
I’ve always wondered if subscribers would send you wines that they love ... Here’s the answer and it’s emotional , quite frankly ! Thanks for the content ! That’s the way you make memories ❤ cheers !
I do like Musar, but I've also experienced many failed corks and abundant sediment. It's like it's a signature of the winary.
I just love everything about chateau musar, nice to see that at least one subscriber appreciates it aswell. Hope you liked it.
You had me worried there @Konstantin! 😂 PS: I love Musar 🤤
I had the 98 Musar in my tasting group just 8 months ago and it was one of the most unique wines Ive ever experienced. Most of the attendees were extremely confused by it. I loved it! Tasting notes: Heavy barnyard, mushroom/ umami, fresh turned soil, orange peel, strawberry juice. Medium light body, great flavor intensity, awesome finish, good energy on the palate. Very much alive.
I love Musar. Never had a 98, but enjoyed a 21, delicious 🤤
@@duncanhenderson005 Tell us about the '21!
@Yeoldelole Opened with an Ah-so opener with Cork intact 🎉
🍷Golden reddy brown / garnet with fine sediment (although filtered)
👃Christmas cake (dried fruit soaked in alcohol)
👅Dried fruit (raisin, prune, sultana, red currant, etc), cherry, alcohol, fig, blackberry, orange peel, spices (cinnamon, clove, pepper, etc) & hint of cocoa
Delicious 🤤
@@duncanhenderson005 wow!! Okay, now I gotta get one of those.
We learn from you a lot, Konstantin! Please go on! 👌🥂🥂
Another great video!!
Happy you enjoyed tasting and that all the others enjoyed watching!
Hopefully the neighbour enjoyed traveling back in time ✌️
Wine for me is first and foremost about sharing it with others. This is a great example and there is no better platform for it than your yt channel :)
Cheers from The Netherlands
I hope lebanon will keep making wine and less bombs and terror 🙏🏻
And konstntin if u like the wine from lebanon i can promise u will love the wine here in israel! Waiting to the chapter on israeli wine!!
Peace for all 🙏🏻
Great video. I had a 97, 07; 2015 vertical of Musar a little while back. The 97 was still lively, the 07 may have had an issue with the cork as it wasn’t as fresh as the 97 and the 15 was delicious, super fruity and nicely balanced.
I got a case of the Musar 98 after it was very well reviewed on Jancis Robinson's website. It's a really wonderful wine but opening it can be a challenge! p.s. those things with two prongs are called a butler's friend in English. The butler could remove the cork, drink their employer's fancy wine, replace with something cheaper and put the cork back in.
Really interesting wines indeed as always, cheers Konstantin!
a Nice and very interesting tasting. Thanks for sharing.
I need to live next door to a master of wine
I was born the same year as the Barbaresco - I'm need to track down a bottle - they don't seem to be overly expensive!
Konstantin .. another awesome video!! Actually never had Chateau Musar .. a must soon enough !! And Swedish wine hmmmmmm?? 🤪😜
Looks like the thirst score just got higher!! 🍷
0:04. Ah, ze famous German sense of humour! Loving your work Konstantin. Please never stop from your English viewers.
I work with a company in North Sweden called Brännland Iscider. We make Sweet Ice wines from Swedish Apples, if you’re interested in evaluating the wines we can send some bottles your way?
Harry
Port tongs! 😅
LOVELY and WELL DONE !!!! (u scared me at outset re last video) (whew) (good one )
Hi from Canada , I’m new to your channel and I love the vibes here so far. I’m a wine enjoyer but I want to get more into it and I find your channel very informative and entertaining. I feel like I have so many basic questions but feel like I should know the answers. A video directed to newer people might be fun. I know this might be a dumb question because I see you spitting out the wine sometimes but for the older wines do you drink and swallow or just taste?
Love the wine glass - looks a bit like a Zalto Universal but not sure.
Bravo. What fun!
Konstantin' this wine tastes like
Mushrooms, tar and cow shit"
Lol
I had my sixth birthday in 1967…
I have tasted Australian sweet wine blends with some components over fifty years old, but no proper old wines.
im sure Mr Baum can afford another pair of durand strung to his cellar LOL
Very interesting video, thank you for doing it.
With roasting in the title I thought you were going to insult and make fun of the bottles, but they were all of good quality.
Hey Konstantin, Thank you so much for sharing all your knowledge, you've been a great inspiration to me. I remember when I've started watching you I didn't even know how to spell Sauvignion, and know I'm half way through Diploma in wine 😅Looking forward to joining you one day in a MW club .
Nice 👍🏻 Glad that I could help you
Have you had any wonderful experiences tasting wines from the year of your birth? Perhaps a tasting of wines with vintages that correspond to momentous historical events within the last fifty years?
@9:40 and that is why I prefer Stelvin caps...
your cork frustration was fun
The best wine channel on youtube!
Thank you 🙏
Screw caps are so much better and easier!
Konstantin once you get the two pronged opener all the way in spin it or and the bottle half turns back and forth while pulling gently up and the cork is out!
I had a similar experience with a 2001 Mazur cork last year, it completely disintegrated. Disappointing but the wine was still OK,and very unusual in a good way.
Hi Konstantin, really love all your videos! Do you have a preferred brand/model for those two prongs corkscrew? I need to get one! Thanks
🙄 Scared me there in the beginning!
Nebbiolo is weird. You should decant that Barbaresco for at least 5 hours. I've had a lot of them from the '60s and they evolve (and get much better) after several hours.
Thank you, very interesting. Given a “drop,” we could make this sort of video a regular thing. And, I have an ulterior motive; there is a Virginia vineyard (Wine Enthusiast’s “wine region of the year,” the Monticello AVA, nice recognition) who has a small but loyal following for somewhat over priced wines, to my taste/pocketbook and vivino’s. Love to get your expert view of the quality, assuming I can get my hands on a suitably aged bottle and I can figure out how to legally ship wine from the US!
Konstantin just I hint how you should have opened the lebanese wine. The two prongs opener you insert in a movement up and down until you reach the maximum depth, then you rotate the corkscrew to unglue the cork from the bottle neck. Only after that you start pulling up while rotating with care. If you follow that the possibility of unsuccessful cork break will decrease tremendously. Anyway it is father's day here in America and I am sipping a Chateauneuf Du Pape Vieux Télégraphe, cheers. I enjoy your videos. Thanks for doing it and keep growing.
Spot on on how to use a two prong cork extraction tool. Many decades ago I purchased one at the original Beringer Vineyards and it has saved the day on many old Bordeaux corks. It wasn’t the Musar cork, it was the 26 years. Great video in any case! Thanks Konstantinos.
Love the video! Not to be a hater but I think you should see the volume of wine at neck and likely cork is damaged and frail for that second wine to make a decision on how to open it :)
Which ah-so is that? It looks very nice, might have to get it as a late father's day gift lol.
Uuuuh! More from this! 🍷📮
Chateau Musar always considered as top, like them. But they are expensive :(
Konstantin tries not to break a cork challenge(IMPOSSIBLE)
Love Musar!
Tack!
Thank you 🙏
Please do that again and tell us how to send you some hot trash! 😂
Love Ch. Musar, have had it several times and work excellent to steaks and game meat. Unfortunately their corks are rubbish, and I had two bottles wich where ruined by that. I am puzzled by why they havent fixed that yet.
Chateau 'Merd' :-)
piece of cake vs piece of cork ;-)
Самый приятный шведский, который я когда-либо слышал Константин, Вам надо преподавать в Стокгольме, а то жуют слова и буквы выплёвывают
P.S. Это вино - убивает природу "mörda Natur". :))))))
❤
Thanks
Thank you 🙏
I've got scared after your first phrase...Your last video...Good joke
How would we send you a gift of wine? I'd like to send you one or two from here in NC and get your take on them.
Colab Petrus with Pat & Peter !
At 10:20 he mntions a yeast name, but I can not understand it. Can you help me, please?
We had musar 2012. On wine searcher this vintage has worse score. But i tryed after 2012 every year until 2017 and 2012 was bybfar most exciting one.
Now bootles of 2012 r sold for 200 euro plus and its hard to get them. If someone know where i can buy one i apriciate for link
F.lli Is short for Fratelli, not figli.
Can you taste an old auslese?
I have ! One of my oldest videos on this channel was about tasting a Prüm Auslese
@@KonstantinBaumMasterofWine I found it. Check out my comments. What 'dreamy' wine.
Warren Winiarski passed away.
Yes, that is sad news!
generally speaking, roasting wine does diminish the complexity of flavours.
