2015 Château Haut-Brion 1. Grand Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan A. C.

Château Haut Brion war im ersten Moment etwas verhalten. Die Frucht erahnend der erste Schluck, etwas Bleistiftmiene, Lakritz, Pflaume, Blaubeere. Wenn wann man im Lexikon nach „vielschichtig“ suchen würde, sollte ein Etikett des Château Haut Brion 2015 abgebildet werden. Ich wünschte mir, dass ich mich für 1 Stunde mit diesem Wein wegschließen könnte. Denn mit jedem Riechen und Schmecken eine andere Nuance, von Frucht bis hin zu Erde, Leder. Dann wieder süße Aromen wie Schokolade – ein Traum von einem Wein! (97-98+ Punkte) Wine Advocate: 98-100/100 Punkte The 2015 Haut Brion, a blend of 50% Merlot, 8% Cabernet Franc and 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, was picked between 8 September and 5 October, and is matured in the same level of new oak (78%) and IPT (75) as the La Mission. It has a heavenly bouquet that like the La Mission bestows instant gratification - a veritable kaleidoscope of aromas so crystalline that you can pick them out one by one: dark plum, blackcurrant, Kalamata olive and graphite. It is tempting to just nose this all day. The palate has an indescribably stunning balance and like the La Mission, there is a paradoxical sense of intensity married to weightlessness. Everything here is so precise, so pure and yet as it crescendos towards the finish, it offers a profundity that is unmatched across Bordeaux in this vintage. Having had the pleasure of many great wines from this estate in the past - 1945, 1955, 1959, 1961 and 1989 - the 2015 belongs among that pantheon. Trinkgenuss: 2030 bis 2075 Weinwisser (Rene Gabriel): 19/20 Punkte 50% Merlot, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc. Sattes Purpur-Granat, dicht in der Mitte, lila Schimmer aussen. Wenn ich nicht gewusst hätte, dass ich da auf Haut-Brion auf einem Stuhl sitze und den Primeur verkoste, so hätte ich nasal eventuell glatt auf einen ganz grossen Kalifomier gesetzt. Das Bouquet; schwarze Schokolade. Minze und ein Hauch von Eucalyptus. Im Gaumen fleischig, massige Konturen, angerundete Tannine, aber auch genügend Gerbstoffe für ein sehr langes Leben, die Balance ist wunderbar, das nachhaltige, immer noch Konzentration zeigende Finale ist bereits jetzt schon mit viel dunklem Tabak und Heidelbeeren bestückt. «Gibt es hier möglicherweise vergleichbare Jahrgänge?», frage ich Jean-Philippe Delmas. Er antwortete: «Es wird hoffentlich nie Jahrgänge geben, welche sich genau einem bereits bestehenden Haut-Brion vergleichen lassen. In der Regel sind es bestenfalls mögliche Kombinationen zwischen zwei Jahrgängen. Aber das ist dann auch immer eine Hypothese. Wichtig ist es für uns, einen möglichst grossen Wein zu machen und diese Chancen haben wir heuer genutzt!» Beim Verabschieden bemerkte er noch, dass er natürlich die Chance hätte, bestehende Jahrgänge regelmässig nachzuverkosten. Dabei würde sich der 2011er Haut-Brion prächtig entwickeln. Vom Jahrgang her und vom aktuellen Marktpreis sei das momentan ein richtiger Geheimtipp. Trinkgenuss: 2024 bis 2055 James Suckling: 97-98/100 Punkte "A structured and powerful Haut-Brion with so much finesse and beauty. Complex and long. It's full and ultra-refined. Super length and polish. A formed and sexy Haut Brion." Decanter: 97/100 Punkte The Graves wine of the vintage (along with Haut-Bailly). Taking the highest proposition of first wine (55%) for several years and a good yield of 45hl/ha. The fruit and tannins reached full and perfect ripeness and the structure shows incredible cohesion, easily approaching the quality of the 2010 but with softer tannins. Beautifully complete with great integrity of coffee grounds and rich damson fruit. Opens up in the glass, the personality and complexity ripples through. A touch lower alcohol than La Mission at 14.9%abv and with 3.73pH for fresh balance. 58% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc and 78% new oak. May well be scored upwards when in bottle. Trinkgenuss: 2026 bis 2045 Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

Zen, The Path of Paradox (Vol.1), Hörbuch, Digital, 984min

Zen is not a theology, it is a unique phenomenon. Not easy to understand for a Western mind. Most religions exist around the concept of God. For Zen, the individual human is the goal - an end unto himself. So there is no concept of God in Zen.Certainly those who have been brought up as Christians, Muslims, Hindus, or Jews, cannot conceive of what sort of religion Zen is. If there is no God, then it becomes atheism. It is not; it is theism to the very core - but without God. This is the first fundamental to be understood. Let it sink deep within you, then things will become clear. Zen is simple, and yet difficult. As far as Zen is concerned it is a simple thing, the simplest, because it is a spontaneous thing. But because of our conditioned minds, because of the insane world we live in - in which we have been brought up and have been corrupted - also very difficult.Existence is paradoxical. I call Zen the path of paradox. It is paradoxical. Intuition is paradoxical. It is not linear. It is multidimensional. Consciousness versus unconsciousness.Osho introduces us in this series to world of Zen. He is not a teacher - he is a Zen master.Chapter 1: Join the Farthest StarChapter 2: Ignorance Is UltimateChapter 3: Devise No WordChapter 4: The Clatter of a Broken TileChapter 5: Your Actions Are Irrelevant to Your BeingChapter 6: Enlightenment Is neither Inside nor OutsideChapter 7: The Pulse of the UniverseChapter 8: Nothing Is Purer Than SexChapter 9: Zen: An Uneducation, an UnlearningChapter 10: The Collective, the Individual, the Universal Language: English.
