  2016 Château Clerc Milon Pauillac A.C.

  Clerc Milon ist und bleibt ein „Vin de Garde“. Kühl, kraftvoll, viel Tannin und Frische. Ein unermüdlicher Dauerläufer mit viel Kraft und Saft, dem die Reife des Cabernet Sauvignon unglaublich gut zu Gesicht steht! (94-95) Wine Advocate: 92-94/100 Punkte  "The 2016 Clerc Milon is a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere (the latter vinification intégrale, so that it includes 50% of the stems, and Philippe Dhalluin said he was pleased with the results). It has a very pure bouquet, a mixture of red and black fruit, a touch of cedar and ash in the background. It takes time to really unfold in the glass. The palate is adorable: svelte tannin, beautifully pitched acidity, great depth with a silky smooth finish that just caresses the mouth. There is a little tightness here compared to the more expressive 2016 d'Armailhac, but I have no doubt that it will turn into a top-flight Clerc-Milon."  Trinkgenuss: 2023 bis 2050  Decanter: 96/100 Punkte " An estate that has been making great leaps forward over recent years, and once again we have a gorgeous Clerc on our hands. This is extremely succulent, with aromatic complexity and a freshness that just bursts out of the glass. Things start off closed for the first minute or so, then the juice comes rushing through. The mid-palate is smooth and polished but also bursting with energy. This is quite clearly one of their best ever wines, ripped through with sweet cherry and wild blackberry fruit, tightened up by slate and cedar. 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carmenere (some of the oldest plantings of this grape in Bordeaux)." Trinkgenuss: 2027-2050 Weinwisser: 18/20 Punkte  “… (55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 29% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot, 1% Carménère) Tiefes, kräftiges, würziges Bouquet, schwarze Beeren, Korinthen, Pflaumen, Lakritze, Graphit, Tabak. Kraftvoller, dichtverwobener, aromatischer Gaumen mit kräftiger, dunkler, samtener Frucht, viel gutem Tannin, konzentrierter, muskulöser Struktur, vielfältiger Aromatik, sehr langer, dichter Abgang. Kann noch zulegen Trinkgenuss: 2024 bis 2042  Wine Spectator: 93-96/100 Punkte  "Very fresh in feel, with bright cassis and cherry fruit racing along an iron edge. Shows a good sleek feel through the finish and a light tug of earth at the very end. A vivacious and delicious wine in the making."  James Suckling: 94-95/100 Punkte "Refined and ultra-fine with a linear and polished character. Full-bodied, yet tight and racy. A classy and sophisticated young wine."  Antonio Galloni vinous: 90-93/100 Punkte  "The 2016 Clerc Milon is dense, plush and undeniably appealing. Plump fruit and supple tannins add to the wine's considerable charm. Here, too, the texture is sweet, plush and quite generous. A burst of dark blue/purplish fruit, grilled herbs, menthol and licorice punctuates the vivid finish. Clerc Milon has been terrific on each of the three occasions I have tasted it so far."  Wine Enthusiast: 93-95/100 Punkte "This wine has great richness, with dense tannins that beautifully meld with intense black fruits. It's concentrated, while at the same time it has a superb, velvety texture. This will be a great wine, ready after 12-15 years."  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

  Uluru: The History and Legacy of the Australian Landmark Considered Sacred by the Local Aborigines , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 110min

  The magnificent monolith the locals call “Uluru”, situated in the heart of Australia, hovers over a patchy bed of desert poplars and spinifex grasslands. The pleasant, but otherwise unexceptional, surroundings of the spellbinding sandstone landform only further accentuates its majesty - one that can be appreciated from a variety of angles. To lime-colored budgerigars, mighty brown falcons, passengers in planes and helicopters, and other creatures blessed with the gift of flight, the free-form rock is reminiscent of the fossil of a spiky fish, a misshapen arrowhead, or perhaps a peculiar, ocher-tinged seashell peeking out of the sand. To those gazing upon the natural gem on solid ground, the flat-topped, burnt sienna beauty marked with character-forming dimples, ripples, and ridges looks more like a sleeping, 1000-year-old turtle, particularly through squinted eyes.   Its striking appearance aside, Uluru, also known as “Ayers Rock”, is far more than an unmissable landmark. Uluru represents an inimitable symbol of life and culture, and a place of worship sacred to the region's aboriginal inhabitants. Given the long and riveting history attached to this hallowed rock, the aura of mysticality and mystery that clings to Uluru should come as no surprise. Not only does the rock's flaky surface change color throughout the day - going from a deep violet with hints of gray to a light lilac to a fiery orange-red during sunrise and from its usual apricot-gold to a faded orange to a dreamy purplish-pink at dusk - Uluru, they say, is an endless source of inexplicable happenings and paranormal occurrences.   Although the natives have spared no effort in underscoring the rock's spiritual and cultural significance to the aborigines, their pleas for visitors to respect the rock have been repeatedly ignored. Indeed, the lack of courtesy displayed toward Uluru has heightened in recent years, and the land's inhabitants have been forced to navigate the so-called a ungekürzt. Language: English.

  Backwash of the Milky Way: Planet Octavion Science Fiction Adventure Stories , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 443min

  Eleven science fiction adventure stories, throwbacks to the pulp days of off-world exploration and colonization on a dazzling, mysterious, dangerous planet. Four never-before published stories are included with stories that appeared in top publications Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, Tomorrow Speculative Fiction Magazine, Gorezone Magazine, Oceans of the Mind Magazine, Fantastic Stories of the Imagination Magazine, Adventure Anthology, and Cricket Children's Magazine. Along the backwash of the Milky Way Galaxy lies a sun-kissed planet Earthlings call Octavion, a world of sparkling blue oceans, emerald green forests, bright deserts, and blue-green lakes. The size of Earth, with a similar star for its sun, Octavion is moonless with an oxygen-rich atmosphere, a planet of colors so vivid they amaze humans. During the day, the Octavion sun raises the temperature into the 90s Fahrenheit. With a nearly non-existent polar tilt, the seasons change so little, they are barely recognized. At night, billowy clouds turn magenta then a deep reddish purple before sinking into a dark indigo before blackness. The stars seem brighter in the moonless sky than on Earth. The first humans marvel at the beauty of the planet and name its natural wonders for their vivid colors - Cerulean Sea, Cobalt Sea, Sapphire Sea and rivers called Majestic Blue and Royal Blue. The leaves of Magenta Forest are magenta as the bright leaves of the Spearmint Forest reflect that hue. The trees of the Indigo Forest are covered with pale, blue leaves. The stone beneath Lake Violet give its water a purplish cast, limestone of Emerald Lake is green, reflected in his clear water. There is a Copper Plateau and a Terra Cotta Plateau, multi-colored Calico Hills and Cinnamon Hill, the orange-brown color of cinnamon. Riding the Right of Habitation Act, which gives humans the right to colonize any inhabitable world, people flock to the beautiful planet ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: John Dzwonkowski.

  Twice Blessed: A Futanari Virgin Story , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 57min, (USK 18)

  Brooke isn’t an ordinary futanari...while most futas are drawn to women, she finds men incredibly sexy! But none of the men she’s known have wanted her back...until she meets Dale, a sexy quarterback who’s secretly bi-curious. When they make a deal to satisfy each others’ lusty erotic cravings, they both get way more than they ever expected! Not your ordinary boy-meets-girl love story!   (PG) Excerpt: Even as she panted with rising pleasure, Brooke glared down at the source of all her woes. It was nearly seven inches long, thick as the circle between her thumb and index finger, and crowned with a shapely purplish head that was incredibly sensitive. It rose proudly from the tight wiry curls at her groin, and curved enticingly toward her flat stomach.   How she wished it would curl the other way, so she could...   But that would make her even more of a freak, she thought with a frustrated sigh. Didn’t she already have enough trouble?   Her pediatrician had assured her parents that it would wither away on its own through lack of use. It hadn’t, though. It had grown big and strong right along with the rest of her body, and had been her worst enemy until that magical day she’d discovered she could stroke it and feel...incredible!   She didn’t mind so much living like a hermit and working from home when it meant she could walk around naked and masturbate whenever she wanted. And she wanted to a lot, because futas had abnormally strong sex drives.   But lately she’d become more aware of her isolation.   According to the rumors, most of the Others - as she thought of them, because she hated thinking of herself as a futanari...it sounded so different, and she was deathly tired of being different - seemed attracted to women. Her strong attraction to men was just one more indication that she was a freak.   ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Timothy Baxter.
