Master of Wine vs. Master of Wine (blind tasting)

[@nicolarossini1938]

Minimal oak? On Montelena? Green apple? Last time I taste it was an oak bomb, correct if I'm wrong but modern vintage they do at least 10month In oak. Also please correct in case I'm miss informed their Chardonnay don't do Malolactic at all since a couple of years. Thanks a lot for the video, was extremely interesting great content as usual, wish I could have had a sip of that Riesling can imagine only how fabulous it was.

[@chrisginoc]

PDF tech sheet just says 10 months in French Oak but doesnt specify if it's new or not.

[@dr.patfarrellmasterofwine1496]

100 % oak barrel aging can still be minimal oak. How so, you ask, by most of the oak being used, not new oak. In terms of “malo”, there was a slight hint of butter, probably from a small amount of malolactic fermentation. It’s not that easy to block malo in all the barrels. I have never tasted an oak bomb CM chardonnay. You can calibrate your palate by tasting a Rombauer chardonnay, side by side withthe Montelena, with the former being a true oak bomb.

@@dr.patfarrellmasterofwine1496 thanks a lot Patrick for the prompt reply and the explanation. Never had it before, not sure if it is something that I will enjoy but If I would have the chance to try I will.

[@bobpaulinskimasterofwine]

Patrick, I thoroughly enjoyed blind tasting with you. Good company, nice wines and plenty of laughs. It looks like your viewers would appreciate more old wine tastings. I'm up for that! Take care my friend.

[@dr.patfarrellmasterofwine1496]

Bob, it just doesn’t get any better!

So fun to listen to the thought process of blind tasting... and how difficult it is even for MWs.. which is a little consoling ;) and Wow.. 1976 Riesling!!!!!

[@tae-wonkang4593]

I had Montelena 2015... I will try that with this Video again...

[@adityasane]

Thanks for sharing such a unique presentation... I would have never thought a 1976 California Riesling would have survived till now

[@똑똑한잭]

Dear Sir. I am Korean. I highly appreciate you that you sharing these unique quality lessons freely. There is no doubt that your lectures are standarfd textbook for beginners of wine. Of course they are funny too. I am so happy to find your channel. Thanks again and hope that your channel grow up rapidly. One more thing. Please keep making korean sub. Because there are many Korean watching your channel.

[@L33h0tl]

What a great video as always. And what a great two wines. I never saw a riesling like that. 40~45 years? Speechless.

[@marcusvandenbroek8957]

Wine lovers... thanks! Two beautiful elegant wines. Both from the new world, exellent choice. Interesting & funny to see that you both set the wines in the old world as a matter of course. Because of their classic style. Fortunately, these wines are also made in California! (And in the rest of the new world.) What the result proves once again! As in Paris in 1976. This makes it so difficult to place wines, at a blind tasting. And since '76 the wine world has much bigger en more complex. As you know it. You came a long way, with humor and a smile. That is perhaps the most important thing!

[@dr.patfarrellmasterofwine1496]

Hi Marcus, good to hear from you, please share with the other winelovers and ask them to drop me a line!

I do wish Dr Farrell would return with more videos!!

[@hyunjunewoo1114]

TBA 1976! Wow....So colour of white wine can be turned into that brownie 😦👍 Impressive Watching the blind tasting of you always giving me the inspiration Thanks!! (And I think I passed the lv.3 with high score though haha the test wasn't too easy and also tasting part was little bit tricky but I think I managed it somehow :))

[@kimberlymcdaniel2714]

I bought a bottle of this just last week and was so impressed that I immediate had my husband run back for the 11 bottles they still had left. It was truly lovely and I could clearly appreciate why this fooled the judges in 1976. This is possibly my new favorite Chardonnay.

[@marilynbeardslee2163]

I 💓 Chateau Montelena - absolutely my all-time favorite Chardonnay. I've had Chateau St Jean; it's okay, just not a favorite varietal. Enjoyed this video very much.

[@wineforthepeople]

Really enjoy watching the process of two people who really know what they're talking about explain the process of how they taste blind.Kind of like a maths problem - even if the final answer isn't right its very informative to watch someone show their working

[@Blue28485]

As usual, thank you, I loved this! So original! I really liked how you showed how you would have been graded in the MW exam and sharing every step of your thought process. A small suggestion would be, maybe a little bigger intro? i would personally love to know more about all these interesting folks you bring to the program! Thanks again.

[@KellonMitchell]

Thank you for this birthday present!

[@bugggit]

Thank you for the content Patrick, I’m always interested in the wines that MW’s enjoy. Perhaps an episode where yourself and another MW bring 4 bottles of some of your favourite wines that are affordable to the common man ( less than $50 each) and discuss why you love them

[@dr.patfarrellmasterofwine1496]

I just filmed one where I discuss my two favorite wines from Trader Joes, but it would definitely be more interesting with more bottles and another master of wine.

[@tlhuffman]

BTW, Chateau Montelena does not use malolactic fermentation, or so they claim. One of you used the term "green apples" to describe it. That is the flavor that was most prominent for me when I tasted it a couple of months ago. Perhaps I got a bad bottle but I didn't care for it at all. I found it tart and a little harsh, lacking balance.. I'll try another one.

[@jungkeunbaek5405]

It's amazing that Riesling white wine aging for 40years. and i realized that changed to brown color from yellow color for long time.

[@mms4382]

It has to be an very high quality dry Riesling or a dessert wine (Beerenausleese or better) to stay drinkable and enjoyable. Botrytis also helps a lot.

[@markyochoa]

Fuck... I had no idea Spurrier passed. What a way to find out.

[@peteT269]

Nice tasting. I'm sipping a top notch aligote from Burgundy while watching this and wondering if you'd figure out what it is...

[@dr.patfarrellmasterofwine1496]

Maybe, on a good day. Aligote is off the usual path. Some “normal” Burgundy notes with crisper acidity, less fruit and more minerality.

[@peteT269]

@@dr.patfarrellmasterofwine1496 Agreed. In fact, pretty much exactly the tasting note I just wrote: "This wine for me is all about the structure, minerality and development on the palette. The fruit is relatively austere here, but it is there. Apple skin, lemon juice and underripe peach. This wine really gets you with the amazing acidic, mineralic attack, and beautiful progression through to the richer, creamy Rnish. There is a light oaking here, but it doesn't show up until the finish. Amazing how they did this! it keeps the wine so fresh and iniviting on the first taste, but leaves you with a lovely mouthfeel and richness at the end."

독일, 헝가리의 디저트 와인의 열렬한 애호가로서 독일 스위트가 등장하니 너무 반갑군요. 독일 와인을 잘 모르실 독자분들을 위해 설명드리자면, 1976년은 독일 와인 역사상 가장 위대한 빈티지의 하나입니다. 보르도로 치면 1961이나 1982에 비견될 빈티지죠. 다만 2021년인 지금 마시기에는 너무 오래되어 힘이 빠진 것이 대부분입니다. 영상에 나온 것 같은 TBA급라면 이야기가 다르지만, 아우슬레제까지는 지금 마시기에는 너무 오래되었습니다.

[@joantrendafilov7963]

I live in Germany and and could say that here you can finds hundreds of aged Riesling from 60 70 80 90s. The amount of SO2, the extreme acidity made german wines able to age in time.

[@adjusted-bunny]

Great content as always. Here is an idea you might pursue in a future episode: Mafia wines. (I'm a big fan of everything mafia related minus the violence).

[@dr.patfarrellmasterofwine1496]

A touchy subject. At the repeal of Prohibition, the distribution of alcohol was controlled by various mobs. The three tiered system was an attempt to minimize the role of organized crime in the alcoholic beverages industries as was the formation of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.

[@jicklesjingles8134]

[@superkinkel]

Very interesting, you didn't secretly agree to use the Judgement of Paris as a theme, since the vintage of the latter one connects the two ...? I wasn't aware that California already tried this style of Riesling dessert wine back in the 1970s. Can yu tell us who this was made compared to the German categories? Even if it's called just "Late Harvest" Is that already equivalent to a Trockenbeerenauslese or at least Beerenauslese? I reckon this color - even in a 40 year old wine - is unachievable with normal Spätlese or Auslese material?
