The Priory - Hammer has some time ago in one of his Prioratproben the temporarily available at Aldi 2008er "El Patio" Priorat installed. And who turned out in his "double blind" in nature and for several days previous tasting ( here ) an absolute hit, even as the star of the entire line-ups, including large and expensive plants from the Catalan region . The exception enjoyment was limited only to this one employed bottle, bottles were bought later counter-ok, but were not nearly up to the contents of the first bottle.
How come? For now legendary, even here in the wine forum discussed Bernburger Prioratprobe with the "El (Diabolo) Patio and general information about Discount Wine A comment by Torsten "Priory" Hammer :
El Patio, 2008 - Aldi - wine (from the English lottery)
hardly a wine from the Priorat is well able to continue the opinions of Prioratliebhaber to tear apart than a simple wine € 5 from the range of Aldi Nord those days.
In many wines, there is agreement:
- ; divine, but unfortunately almost priceless (L'Ermita and Co from the class provide price lifted with rocket engine).
- sensationally good and just paid great art (from Clos Mogador as a pioneer of Corelium and Doix to Creu Alta - wines that show that quality are rewarded needs, but to many over-priced wines in the world yet a true source of relative bargains are
-. many secrets that you do not get on every street corner, but the quality often more to offer than they cost.
- Some nice wines on basics, which are screaming to be Prioratliebhaber. (Is yes, the latter two categories there, even if some good and broad-based retailer denied the likes ... - but who seeks shall find)
- added some increasingly growing number of little fun-to-drink wines from large producers and for the mass market.
Where now are the discounters Aldi and Lidl wines of the past few years are always once a year to the bargain bins of the low price plane?
beginning of the last category belongs to grade Aldi has developed over the years. The two wines of Aldi Süd - Monte Castillo, 2006 and 2007 were quite respectable, the penultimate Category to assign.
I must be with the discount wine deal because of the Prioratführers or even bother after all, I wanted to come find out about everything that I fall into the finger and what the word "Priorat "on the label carries - including this very lowest segment, do it now or not fun. Granted, the two were introduced Monte Castillo, in each blank of the class and made a rule against about 30 other wines, is anything but fun, free. They were very correct, yes very good wines that made some expensive comrades behind and never landed in last place (but never in the front half) - safe and easy to recommend for the price even. Judging
At least one bottle in a blind test for.
finally now in 2011 Germany is reunited again. The millions of Aldi-Nord - Germans get the El Patio in the stores, 2008 - now begin to be recognized as more lighter, more elegant vintage, but also similar to 2006, with enormous potential for drinking fun the Prioratos ...
He comes just in time to a first blank in the shop, also in the Aldi, with me around the corner, I too often typical for the old DDR statement "Hammwanich" shun, not to have to go somewhere else afterwards ...
And cry - he confidently wins the blank of 15 wines - with some other wines to 10 €, but also 40 € - bottles. Midnight opening, six Hours later poured a third of the bottle in a mini carafe, again about six hours later tasted a threesome and presented as the clear winner for each taster.
No, Unmistakably, the Nachverkostung - blind again - shows the last glass from the carafe, which is Opulenzia, the wine with the heady scent of these vintage refined and in its typicality to the point does not force Brumme, no prancing, balanced, persistent and with depth.
After uncovering totally surprised - Come out of the bottle, so this is Opulenzia, still. Well, she loses the days as some initial Blender wine after three days of expression and depth is not great, but still excellent. Even after 6 days he will skip this bar with me yet ...
What to do? The remains of buying (a branch seems to have got so allocated to the 18 bottles. Such a good everyday wine would lie even I myself still, but 12 times 5 € also is money, then move again until a second bottle, advance to make sure that she comes out of that lot ...
This bottle is then unlocked just like that, but as covered with cheese cloth, not a lush scent, nothing Opulenzia. Normally very well done. No more, no less. Like Beefheart, who does not sing into the mic, but with closed doors in the next room ...
Okay, then I need but not the remains. Opulenzia N ° 2 would have me believe the contrary. Non-Opulenzia tells me there is no broad Wonder ...
meantime, I have myself with wine lovers from Aldi - agreed northern basin between Essen, Berlin and Jena ...
was after Opulenzia N ° 1 is mainly bottles, like my 2nd Bottle of sin has been characterized: Very good, worth the money (or even slightly less than twice), a very great success for Aldi. They come from the Ruhr, from several branches Berlin, from Naumburg and other East Aldi's.
counter Opulenzia N ° 1 are currently two inconsequential to bah ... bottles, one in Essen, a (denounced here even with bad price-benefit ratio) in Jena.
What ultimately my suspected thesis is confirmed by the lottery ... I expect the price of all I know, normal and negative variance bottles together would be so "once Opulenzia please" already cost more than Mogador a bottle or similar bottle with high reputation as well as price. And if not soon Opulenzia N ° 2 has my "miracle bottle" is outweighed with Ermita and Co..
One should purchase the Aldi priory «go no different than the lottery games.
knowledge that most of the gains are very small gains. And that, as in any lottery are also riveting. Under no circumstances squander all the money, because then nothing remains for the good investment strategy - wines more understandable to non-anonymous producers to buy related to their own labor for a reliable quality. Such producers are plentiful in the Priorat.
You have to play any lottery Priory.
