Andresen 20 Years Old White Port Douro

Andresen 20 Years Old White Port is de meest verfijnde witte Port van dit familiehuis, opgebouwd uit een blend van wijnen die gemiddeld 20 jaar in vat hebben gerijpt. Sinds 1845 bewaart Andresen grote voorraden oude Port in Vila Nova de Gaia, waardoor de keldermeester uit een indrukwekkende bibliotheek kan putten voor deze cuvée. Wat is een 20 Years Old White Port precies? Het is een witte Port waarvan de verschillende basiswijnen zo zijn geblend dat de smaak en structuur overeenkomen met een gemiddelde vatrijping van twintig jaar, met veel complexiteit en een zijdezacht mondgevoel.

Wijngaarden en regio

De druiven voor Andresen 20 Years Old White Port komen uit Portugal, uit de Douro, uit de subregio’s Cima Corgo en Douro Superior. De wijngaarden liggen op steile, terrasvormige hellingen langs de rivier, waar de combinatie van hete zomers, koude winters en grote temperatuurverschillen de druiven compact en aromatisch maakt. Op de arme, steenrijke bodems moeten de stokken diep wortelen, wat lage opbrengsten en geconcentreerd fruit geeft. De wijn wordt gemaakt op Quinta das Aranhas in de Douro en rijpt daarna verder in de kelders van Vila Nova de Gaia, waar het koelere, vochtigere klimaat zorgt voor een trage, gelijkmatige ontwikkeling in vat.

Vinificatie en rijping

Bij Andresen worden de witte druiven traditioneel met de voet gekneusd in granieten lagares, zonder dat de trossen vooraf worden ontsteeld. Na het kneuzen volgt een inweking van ongeveer één dag in roestvrijstalen vaten, zodat aroma’s en structuur uit de schillen meekomen. De vergisting duurt vervolgens ongeveer twee dagen en wordt halverwege gestopt door toevoeging van wijnalcohol, zodat er restsuiker in de wijn achterblijft en het typische Portprofiel ontstaat. Daarna rijpt de wijn in oude houten vaten van 600 liter. Deze vaten geven nauwelijks nog houtaroma’s af, maar zorgen wel voor een natuurlijke, langzaam oxidatieve rijping. Voor de uiteindelijke Andresen 20 Years Old White Port worden verschillende wijnen samengevoegd tot een blend met een gemiddelde leeftijd van twintig jaar, met een alcoholpercentage van 19,5%.

Druivensamenstelling

Arinto – Cima Corgo en Douro Superior
Arinto brengt frisse zuren en citrusachtige tonen in de wijn en geeft de blend spanning en lengte, zelfs na lange vatrijping.

Códega – Cima Corgo en Douro Superior
Códega zorgt voor rijp wit fruit en een ronde textuur, waardoor het mondgevoel rijk en zacht wordt.

Malvasia – Cima Corgo en Douro Superior
Malvasia voegt florale aroma’s, honingachtige nuance en een lichte kruidigheid toe, wat bijdraagt aan de geurige complexiteit.

Rabigato – Cima Corgo en Douro Superior
Rabigato geeft structuur, een fijne mineraliteit en helpt om de balans tussen zoetheid en frisheid scherp te houden.

Proefnotities en serveertips

In het glas heeft Andresen 20 Years Old White Port een diepe oranje kleur met goudgele reflexen. De geur doet denken aan gedroogde abrikoos en perzik, acaciabloesem, honing, specerijen, cederhout en bijenwas. In de smaak proef je een rijke maar elegante White Port, met een evenwichtige combinatie van gedroogd fruit, honingtonen en subtiele houtaroma’s, ondersteund door een zachte structuur en een lange, aromatische afdronk. Serveer deze Port gekoeld, rond 12 tot 14 °C. Aan tafel past hij uitstekend bij desserts als Christmas pudding, crème brûlée, gebak met gedroogd fruit of noten en bij halfharde, licht zoute kazen, waar zijn rijpe zoetheid en verfijnde complexiteit mooi naast blijven staan.

This book is a must read for anyone trying to understand the role of the US in trade.
Format: Hardcover
Hudson explains US monetary policy from the pre-WWI era to the present day and the points at which it goes through significant changes. He covers the goals of the US at the time, the perspectives of the victims and opponents of these policies and the reasons for changes in monetary policy. I had already read the previous edition but he updates this book to include how the China and Russia are building effective resistance to the machinations of the world bank, IMF, and to the hegemony of the dollar zone in general. Essential reading!

A valuable review of the collapse of the USSR
Format: Kindle
Collapse is a modern review of the fall of the Soviet Union with a skepticism of its inevitability. This review is valuable on its own merits but given recent events of Russia's invasion of the Ukraine it is particularly timely and provides the reader a comprehensive history for which to to think about current events. The book is divided into two sections. The first covers the reform period under Gorbachev which were the seeds the end and the second part which detailed the political events around the collapse of the Soviet Union. It discusses the reform agenda, the power struggles the lack of correspondence between optimistic visions and practical realities involving reform and ultimately the failure of the West in providing any cushions for a viable economic transition at the end. The author starts with the main leader associated with the fall of the USSR, namely Gorbachev. The author starts by highlighting the consensus perspective that the fall of the Soviet Union was an inevitability of the inadequacy of the system to compete in modern times coupled to weakening energy prices that made the state unviable. One could argue with the modernization of the Chinese state, the fall of USSR perhaps was not inevitable had the party been more adaptive to changing conditions. Either way the author believes that such a view is ultimately wrong and the collapse of the union was a direct result of misguided reforms that were counterproductive and accelerated the fall of the regime. The author puts the policy errors squarely at the feet of Gorbachev who he frames as being too focused on theoretical debates rather than focusing on practical realities. The author discusses how Gorbachev's lack of willingness to use force as well as his optimism about the chances for a shared vision by the population led to a fracturing state where a variety of tribal interests started to diverge. The soviet states were not tied to each other tightly through shared ideology or history and so when reforms led to lower living standards and resources had the potential to be divided, the factionalism of the system came to the forefront. Furthermore the lack of willingness to suppress dissent let to a system that ultimately became immobile to competing voices for which none had a solution to the real problems of the system. The author moves on to the fall of the USSR which really started with the Berlin Wall. There were clearly splintering objectives and the population behind the USSR had divergent hopes on the future. Most states claimed desires for democracy but many really were moving to various forms of ethnically based populism. The concessions made by the USSR on Germany are argued to show the naivety of Gorbachev who was trading Soviet influence for the hope that his signals would be taken well in the West and reciprocated with good will and eventual aid. The sequential failing of the state stemmed from the conflicting power from the formation of democratic parties to compete with the Soviet legislature; the clear separation of powers became ambiguous and ultimately this incoherence of the system led to a partial lost confidence in Gorbachev and a temporary coup. The democratic advocates like Yeltsin then agreed to multiple side deals in which the USSR was carved up along vaguely tribal lines in a hasty fashion that left lingering problems for the following generation. The chaos of reform and decaying control led to a failing state that fractured chaotically and became impossible to salvage once the snowballing began. Collapse is a detailed historical overview of the last decade of the USSR with a focus on the failure of Gorbachev. It discusses the political and economic challenges of the state that led to its collapse but focuses on the failure of leadership that was the root cause from the author's perspective. It is hard to argue that exogenous events didnt put substantial pressure on the regime such that it might have been destined to fail but the authors arguments that the reforms were ineffective are hard to argue with. Furthermore for there to have been a realistic chance of a change in economic model substantial aid would have been required and the idea that the Washington consensus was a sufficient laundry list to lead the USSR into the modern economic world is completely ludicrous. One is reminded of the politics behind economic bodies like the IMF despite the claims to be independent and objective analysis on best practices. As a consequence of the unrealistic idealism of the time and the subsequence tragic failure of following that idealism to a disorganized state we now have substantial lingering frictions that are impossible to heal. Collapse is highly worthwhile read that is filled with details and certainly relevant today.
