About me

To me wine is one of the greatest and sometimes worst of the world’s great pleasures. When you get that one bottle, or even that one sip of a truly great wine, you're just lost. Wine can be almost everything, great pleasure, great fun, deeply tragic, complex, easy, boring, fresh, fantastic, but maybe the greatest of it all, floating history. Imagine drinking your birth year wine, you drink you're own age, and in a way your own life. Memories comes rushing back... Or what about drinking a 1945? After the war was over and they were able to make some of the most legendary wines of all time.

I am a wine fanatic, I have WSET Diploma (level 4) in Wines and Spirits and have had the great honour to be inducted as:

-Commandeur de Bordeaux in 2011

-Hospitalier d’Honneur de Hospitaliers de Pomerol in 2014

-Gentilhomme d’Honneur du Duché de Fronsac in 2015

-Prud’homme de la Jurade de Saint-Emilion in 2015

-Comandeur d'Honneur de Médoc ou des Graves, de Sauternes ou Barsac de l'Ordre du Bontemps in 2017

All views are my personal ones. I live in Norway, I'm a freelance wine writer and a wine educator and after several requests I write all my TN’s in English. Please pardon my errors in a foreign language as some tasting notes have been written quickly. B My Bordeaux is one of the world’s largest collections of Bordeaux tasting notes from one taster with more than 360 producer profiles. B My Bourgogne the same with more than 200 producer profiles and B My Wine is on its way as well with loads of producers represented from the rest of the world.

Scores, what do they mean?

Wines are scored for quality and quality only. For the bottle or sample that is tasted there and then, as that one is. Not peer group. Peer group tastings in my opinion make wines from lesser grapes or areas seem to be better than they actually are as the benchmark is lower, and most peer group tasters tend not to rate a wine perfectly within the group either, which makes it all a bit strange. I can't remember ever to have seen a rosé wine getting a perfect score as an example. Then it's not a true peer group taster in my opinion. Peer group tasting also make the truly great wines seem less great as something else regularly get similar scores even if the quality of the two is miles apart.

96-100 Great wine of spellbinding beauty and resonance, leaving the drinker with a sense of wonder

90-95 Outstanding wine of great beauty and articulacy

86-89 Very good wine with some outstanding features

83-85 Good wwine with no outstanding features

80-82 Enjoyable but simple and straightforward

75-80 Sound but dull or boring wine with no character or appeal

Wines marked below this level will not be written about on this blogg, and should it happen, it won't be impressive anyway.
