    The Man Who Tasted Words
    'From the opening paragraph, I was spellbound, entranced. Through real stories about what happens when our fragile perception of the world around us and within us is severed, Guy Leschziner connects us back to our senses.' Professor Alice RobertsWhere are you now? Look around you; what can you see? Close your eyes and think of a loved one - do you see their face? Stretch out a hand; what can you feel with your fingertips, your palm, the soft underside of your wrist? What can you hear - nearby and far away?The information you receive from your senses makes up your world. But that world does not exist. What we perceive to be the absolute truth of the world around us is a complex reconstruction, a virtual reality created by the complex machinations of our minds in tandem with the wiring of our nervous systems. But what happens if that wiring goes awry? What happens if connections falter, or new and unexpected connections are made? Tiny shifts in the microbiology of our nervous systems can cause the world around us to shift and mutate, to become alien and unfamiliar.In The Man Who Tasted Words, consultant neurologist Guy Leschziner takes us on a journey through the senses, exploring how each one shapes our experience of the world. And investigating what happens when they deviate from the norm. Along the way we meet a number of extraordinary individuals and step through the looking glass and into their worlds. Worlds where hot and cold are reversed, where a person with no sight sees fantastical visions, or where words have a taste and sounds create sensations.But while fascinating, their experiences are more than simply curiosities. They teach us about our own perception of the world, forcing us to question the idea of 'normal' senses, and whether such a thing even exists. Does blue look the same to you and me? Does grass smell the same? Or sugar taste as sweet? Do we even have the same understanding of what 'sweet' is?The Man Who Tasted Words unpacks the science behind your senses and challenges you to try and see the world through another's eyes - and ears, and nose and mouth. It will illuminate, it will surprise, and it will leave your world just a little bit changed.'A truly astonishing book - from the story of the man who tasted words to that of Paul who could pull out his own teeth and break his legs yet feel no pain. These are beautifully and engagingly written stories of how our senses tell us about the reality of the world - or, sometimes, don't.' Gavin Esler, author of How Britain Ends'Stories of people who experience the world differently show us what it means to be human. This is a deeply moving and powerful book, full of provocative ideas about human perception and the way we construct reality.' Daniel M. Davis, author of The Secret Body and The Beautiful Cure'This is a book vibrant with personality and full of wonder. Professor Leschziner takes us through an exploration of our senses, making us question the nature of our reality and how we interpret the world around us. It is a profound, entertaining and quite exceptional book.' Dr Alastair Santhouse, Psychiatrist and Author of Head First'In vivid stories of patient maladies that affect our very human sensations of sight, sound, smell, touch and pain, Leschziner has deeply explored the sensory experiences that bombard every moment of our lives but of which we are barely aware. What a terrific melding of brain science with thoughtful ideas on our window to the outside world.' Allan Ropper, author of Reaching Down the Rabbit Hole and How the Brain Lost its Mind.'A fascinating, important and disturbing book. Words will never taste the same again!' John Humphrys

    Navascués Mas de Mancuso Tinto 2016 0.75L 14.5% Vol. Rotwein Trocken aus Spanien
    Der Top-Wein der Bodega ist dieser Garnacha, über 14 Monate in Barriques aus französischer Eiche reifte und von Robert Parker WineAdvocat mit 94+ Punkten bewertet wurde: „There are now red and white versions of the Mas de Mancuso bottlings. I tasted the red 2016 Mas de Mancuso Garnacha, which had notes of blood orange and sour cherries, fresher than the 2015, with good depth and complexity. It has a very good balance between citrus, fresh, juicy and bitter notes. This is only the second vintage with these grapes from an old vineyard in the village of Almonacid. It feels like a step up over the already excellent 2015. 3,000 bottles were filled in September 2018.“ (Luis Gutierrez, Dez. 2018)

    Alvear Pedro Ximénez »Solera 1830« - 0,375 L. 0.375L 11.5% Vol. Sehr Süß aus Spanien
    Einer der komplexesten Süßweine von Alvear. Konzentriert, samtig und fein, urteilt Luis Gutiérrez von Robert Parker's Wine Advocat und gibt 97/100 Punkte: »The oldest and most concentrated sweet wine from Alvear is the NV Pedro Ximénez Solera 1830, a wine that cannot change despite this new bottling from January 2017, as it's so old, concentrated and sweet (480 grams of sugar per liter) that we wouldn't feel its evolution over our lifetime. I've tasted and described this wine before and it's as good, old and powerful as I remember it. The notes I mentioned before, noble woods, espresso coffee, vanilla and coconut are still there and so is the complex, velvety and fine palate, with a luscious and never-ending finish. Unfortunately what is changing with this wine is availability and price.« (Dez. 2017)

    ROC DE CAMBES 2013
    The Roc de Combes has a gorgeous plum, baked cherry and mulberry scented bouquet with fine definition and sense of mineralité, quite Pomerol-like. The palate is medium-bodied with firm tensile tannins, great precision and focus here, fresh and lively towards the precise finish. Wonderful finesse and composure here...this is destined to be a great Roc de Combes. Tasted April 2011. Jancis Robinson : 17.5/20 70% Merlot, 5% Malbec, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Picked 15 Oct. Exceptionally dark crimson. Very sweet and rich and tense. One of the tensest wines I have come across - real tension on top of great ripe fruit rather than overworked ’taut’ wines. Really very impressive. Much more structure than most Tertre vintages. Very small grapes and rich and very exciting. Not at all porty but very sweet and fresh. Holds its alcohol well. Very fresh. Really very unusual ! Spicy and rich but not at all heavy. Smoothed tannins - thanks to all that new oak ? Though very fresh and not that long on the finish.

    2017 Château Clerc Milon tbd
    Wine Enthusiast: 93-95/100 Punkte "Barrel Sample. Finely structured, there is an excellent balance between fruit and tannins on this ripe and juicy wine. It is elegant, harmonious and poised. It will develop easily and over time will be an impressive wine." Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 93-95/100 Punkte  "A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 23% Merlot, 14% Cabernet Franc, 2% Petit Verdot and 1% Carménère, the 2017 Clerc Milon is deep garnet-purple in color and scented of crushed red and black currants, wild blueberries and black pepper with touches of cigar box, violets, underbrush and menthol. Medium-bodied and with a very firm structure of wonderfully ripe, pixelated tannins and exhilarating freshness, it finishes long with notes of pebbles and floral perfume." Wine Spectator: 90-93/100 Punkte "Crunchy plum and black currant notes are fresh and focused, while chalk, iron and savory details line the finish. Shows nice purity and minerally drive." James Suckling: 95/100 Punkte "Tight and compacted with chewy tannins and showing hot-stone, blackberry and blueberry character. Full body and a driven finish." Vinous (Neal Martin): 89-91/100 Punkte "The 2017 Clerc Milon was picked from 13 to 29 September and matured in 50% new oak (which was represented in the blend tasted.) It has a more closed, backward bouquet compared to the sample of d'Armailhac. It actually reminds me of that other "Milon", Duhart-Milon in style. The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannin, a fine bead of acidity, quite austere and conservative with a precise, pencil-lead, Valrhona chocolate and smoke infused finish that just pulls up a little short at the moment. Tasted three times with consistent notes."  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.

    2012 Château Haut-Brion 1. Grand Cru Classé Pessac-Léognan A.C.
    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 96+ Punkte »Tasted blind at the Southwold 2012 tasting, the 2012 Haut-Brion has an open and generous bouquet with blackcurrant pastille, cassis and briary aromas the exude very pure Merlot. The palate is medium-bodied with a sumptuous opening that is rare in 2012: rounded and generous, caressing in the mouth with black plum and blackcurrant towards the finish, residues of truffle and white pepper lingering on the aftertaste that turn very savory after 15 minutes—bacon fat or Italian cured meats. There is a lot to love about this Haut-Brion although in this blind showing I scored it the same as La Mission Haut-Brion. Who will stick their neck out as the two wines mature? Tasted January 2016.« Genussreife: 2022 - 2055 James Suckling: 96 Punkte »Amazing aromas of wet stones, earth, currants and berries. Subtle and complex. Full body and a beautiful core of ripe fruit on the palate and the finish. Round, light, chewy tannins. Needs at least four or five years to open. This is the most merlot ever in Haut-Brion. Rich too. One of the wines of the vintage. 65.5% merlot, 32.5% cabernet sauvignon and 25 cabernet franc.« Wine Enthusiast: 96 Punkte »Firm and solid, this is one of the successes of 2012. It's properly dark and tough at this stage, with that serious intent that's a hallmark of Haut-Brion. Layers of firm tannins are interspersed with blackberry fruits and juicy acidity. The wine is dense and concentrated, with the wood aging still showing. This powerful wine will need many years. Drink from 2024.« Decanter: 95 Punkte »Dense velvety red, rich earthy black fruits on the nose, both lively and smooth, terrific class is there with the ripe Haut-Brion tannins that give a subtle grip to the very polished, Merlot-dominated fruit.« Genussreife: 2017-2035 Falstaff: 94 Punkte »Dunkles Rubingranat, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung, feine Herzkirschen, ein Hauch von Nougat, angenehme Kräuterwürze, facettenreiche Nuancen, ein Hauch von Orangenzesten. Komplex, straff, reife rotbeerige Frucht, finessenreich strukturiert, salzig und lange, tragende Tannine, die noch einige Jahre brauchen werden, verfügt über beachtliches Potenzial.«

    2017 Château Montrose tbd
    Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: 96-99 Punkte  "The 2017 Montrose is a blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. Deep purple-black in color, the nose is a little closed at first, but with coaxing, it opens to reveal remarkable earth and exotic spice notes of crushed rocks, black truffles, star anise, cassia and fenugreek over a core of crème de cassis, blackberry preserves, violets and blueberry pie with touches of cigar box, charcuterie and black soil. Medium-bodied with a rock-solid frame and an exquisitely ripe, very fine-grained texture, it has wonderful freshness with electric energy and a very long, minerally finish. Possessing great poise and intensity, this is one of the greatest Montrose's I have tasted!"  Weinwisser: 19/20 Punkte "76 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 20 % Merlot, 3 % Cabernet Franc, 1 % Petit Verdot. Granat mit violettem Rand. Was für ein königliches Bouquet mit Wildkirschen, parfümiertem Pfeifentabak und Veilchen. Im zweiten Ansatz rote Johannisbeeren, schwarze Oliven und Wacholder. Am kräftigen, facettenreichen Gaumen mit einem straffen Muskelpaket und viel Power ausgestattet. Im langanhaltenden Finale ein Feuerwerk von frischem Schattenmorellensaft und dunkler Mineralik, endet mit stützender tiefgründiger Adstringenz. Ein klassischer Montrose, der an 1996 erinnert – mit gewaltigem Lagerpotenzial! Es gab hier ganz klar Vorteile für den Cabernet Sauvignon, daher weit über 70 % im Grand Vin. Wie im letzten Jahr, der beste Wein aus St.-Estèphe. Siehe hierzu auch das spannende EXKLUSIV-Interview von Hervé Berland mit Chefredakteur Giuseppe Lauria auf den Seiten 4 und 5 über den Jahrgang, Sinn und Unsinn von Primeurpreisen und warum man auf Montrose noch sehr hungrig ist. 2030 – 2060" James Suckling: 96-97/100 Punkte "This is pure and tight with gorgeous cabernet sauvignon character of blackcurrants, blueberries and crushed stones. Full-bodied, yet compacted and polished. It shows a long and beautiful tannin texture at the end. Just rolls off the palate."  Wine Enthusiast: 94-96/100 Punkte  "Barrel Sample. This wine is powered by its tannins, creating a concentrated texture, dry at the core and solid. It is a serious, complex wine that is likely to develop slowly. Weighty and dense, it is impressive and intensely rich at the end." Wine Spectator: 91-94/100 Punkte  "This has nice breadth, with cherry and cassis notes moving through atop light tobacco and warm earth flavors. Very bright savory and iron elements add lift and cut through the finish. Tight, but everything is in place."  Vinous (Neal Martin): 94-96/100 Punkte "The 2017 Montrose represents 37% of the total production this year and it was cropped at around 45hl/ha. It has a little more volume and intensity compared to the Cos d’Estournel that was tasted immediately prior to my visit. Blackberry, raspberry, cedar and pressed flowers bloom in the glass, though there is a noticeable change with aeration after 20 minutes – hints of juniper and bay leaf, rendering a more nuanced and complex array of aromatics. The palate is medium-bodied with edgy tannin and it feels a little chalky in the mouth, yet also tensile and certainly extremely focused. There is already a palpable sense of energy in situ, well structured and vivid, though not as complex or as nuanced as the 2016 Montrose on the finish since the growing season forbade that. I appreciate the pastille-like purity on the aftertaste and the potent tang of cracked black pepper and graphite that hang around for 45 seconds after the wine has departed. It is a fine, very classic Montrose and I suspect more approachable than those of yesteryear. Tasted twice at the château.“ Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.
