Wine 1942
When we collect a cellar with aged wines, the conditions of each single bottle can vary a lot. Even if the collector was storing them with good care of all the preserving factors, the wine fill level inside two bottles from the same vintage, like the wines of 1942, can be completely different. Wine is a living matter and changes over the years, sometimes unexpectedly: what a fascination to be a wine expert! ... Sometimes the wineries didn’t have the usual bottles so they had to substitute them with bottles of clear glass. Also the corks of wines of the wartime are shorter than usual.
A real old and drinkable wine from 1942. Every wine lover is fascinated by a perfectly aged and rare red wine with a world-famous origin.

Wine vertical
A bottle of wine of the war year 1942 is a rarity and unique finding. The taste of the wine, which is defined by its old age, can be on the limit of enjoyment for some. Therefore, an interesting alternative to buying a wine as old as ones anniversary, can be to recreate the years of the jubilee with three younger wine bottles, which together are as old. The tasting of the years through single steps is a charming present for any wine lover. Wine experts love these kind of vertical wine tastings: they emphasize the different phases of these valuable wines, and how their color and taste both change when ripening.- 1940

Three bottles of wine legends from three classic wine regions for the vertical tasting for the 1942 vintage. Not just the vintage, but a vertical tasting, a mind game from which the age of 80 years can be added up.
1985=37 years + 1994=28 years + 2007=15 years = together 80 years!
A Grand Cru Classé from Saint Emilion from the very good Bordeaux vintage of 1985, a legendary Barolo Aldo Conterno from 1994 and a perfectly matured Moselle Riesling from the top German vintage of 2007 from the Grosse Lage Trittenheimer Leiterchen
Tasting the past few years step by step is a charming gift with a meaning for a wine lover. The selected vintages also stand for a review of the formative phases of the jubilee's life. The age of the year 1942 - 80 years is the sum of the ages of the three individual years.
Wine experts love such vertical tastings.
Very old wines from the 1942 vintage have an exorbitant price if they are in very good condition and still drinkable. And they are less suitable for being drunk in the classic way by the glass, but unfold their charm when tasting them in homeopathic doses - i.e. a few sips. Mature wines from the 70s - 80s, on the other hand, are very suitable for a real tasting, a real drinking.

Wine experts love such vertical tastings. It becomes very clear how high-quality wines show themselves in different phases of their development. How wines change from color to flavor as they age.
The most impressive is the tasting of a vertical in wines with the same characteristics, such as merlot-influenced, velvety wines with different maturities. As here with the wines from St. Emilion classified as Grand Cru Classé.

Hermitage is the most famous Grand Cru location on the Côte du Rhône. The Hermitage Hill was formed in the Ice Age when the Rhône broke through this eastern extension of the Massif Central following a rapid fall in sea level. Despite its small size, the Hermitage is geologically very diverse. In the highest, western part, the soil consists of granite, which weathers into fine clay. The eastern, larger part of the slope, on the other hand, is formed in the middle by rubble made of sand and limestone that the Rhône had transported from the Alps. At the foot of the slope there are younger sediments from the Würme Ice Age. The highest points are again covered with loess. To protect the thin layers of soil from slipping, walls made of limestone were built. The name of the extremely long-lasting red wine Hermitage goes back to a hermitage founded in 1224 (Hermitage = hermit). The appellation in the northern section of the Rhône is classified as a Grand Cru location. It is located in the southern part of the section on the left bank of the Rhône. The vineyards cover only 136 hectares of vines in the Drôme department. The red wines are made from Syrah and a maximum of 15% Marsanne or Roussane, the white wines from Marsanne and Roussanne. A well-known lover of the wines was the locally famous bandit Mandrin.
