Hér eru vínin í sætum 2-5:
2. Numanthia-Termes Toro Termes 2005 (Spánn) – 96 punktar ($27) – “Austere yet alluring, this powerful red is thick and tannic, yet reveals a core of blackberry, mineral, hoisin and graphite that’s dense and pure. Monolithic now, but has depth and balance. Modern, but shows a real sense of place. Best after 2012.”
3. Domaine du Vieux Télégraphe Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau 2007 (Frakkland, S-Rhone) – 95 punktar ($70) – “Packed, in a brawny, muscular style atypical for this lush vintage, with a gravelly undertow to the currant paste, braised fig and dark licorice notes. Picks up even more steam on the finish, with grilled mesquite, mineral and garrigue notes and a long, hot stone-filled finish. Best from 2010 through 2030. 17,000 cases made.” – Fastagestur á listanum en því miður ekki fáanlegt á Íslandi eða í Svíþjóð.
4. Kosta Browne Pinot Noir Sonoma County 2007 (Bandaríkin, Kalifornía) – 95 punktar ($52) – “Firm and focused, with a wonderful purity of flavor, offering a complex, focused mix of black cherry, raspberry, spice and anise. Full-bodied and concentrated. Long and persistent on the finish. Drink now through 2014. 3,069 cases made.”
5. Barone Ricasoli Chianti Classico Castello di Brolio 2006 (Ítalía, Toscana) – 96 punktar ($54) – “Shows amazing aromas of blackberry, with hints of vanilla and flowers, along with black licorice and crushed berries. Full-bodied, with wonderfully caressing, ultrafine tannins. Very balanced and long. Best after 2011. 6,170 cases made.” – Fyrri árgangar hafa verið fáanlegir í Svíþjóð og nú er bara að bíða eftir þessum!
