BOEKENHOUTSKLOOF THE CHOCOLATE BLOCK 2023

AUSSERGEWÖHNLICH, LIMITIERT & POPULÄR

Winzer Marc Kent erzeugt als bekannter Syrah-Spezialist mit seinem Rotwein "The Chocolate Block" einen der  besten Weine Südafrikas. Ursprünglich kommt die Cuvée in französischer Art nach dem Vorbild der nördlichen Rhône. Jedoch bringt der Wein die typische, örtliche Fruchtigkeit und Fülle mit sich.

Allzu viele Flaschen sind aber von diesem herausragenden Wein nicht verfügbar. Denn Boekenhoutskloof gewinnt seinen Wein von limitierten Weinstauden diverser Weinberge, die stark ertragsreduziert bewirtschaftet werden. 

Ursprung des The Chocolate Blocks

Den Syrah bekommt das Weingut aus dem heißen und trockenen Malmesbury im Swartland, nördlich von Kapstadt. Die Rebsorte gehört zu den ältesten ihrer Art in Südafrika.

Der Cinsaut wiederum hat seinen Ursprung aus alten Bush Vines aus Wellington. Die Rebsorten Cabernet Sauvignon & Viognier erntet die Kellerei in Franschhoek selbst auf sehr schonende Art und Weise. 
Jede der Rebsorten liefert ihren Anteil zur speziellen Faszination des The Chocolate Block Weines.

Die Zusammensetzung dieses Weins wird von Jahrgang zu Jahrgang optimiert, um das Klima und die alten, charaktervollen Rebstöcke, die einen wesentlichen Teil des Charmes und der Persönlichkeit des Weins ausmachen, bestmöglich zu reflektieren.

The Chocolate Block-Geschmacksprofil

Dem Jahrgang 2020 ging eine sehr trockene Vegetationsperiode voraus, die zu einem rekordverdächtig niedrigen Ernteertrag führte. Dies resultierte in kleinere, konzentriertere Beeren. Diese Umstände waren ermutigend für die Herstellung von Weinen mit großer Komplexität. Im Swartland herrschten im Dezember 2020 und Januar 2020 moderate Temperaturen. Das Erntefenster für The Chocolate Block war ein Zeitraum von nur zwei Wochen. Den ersten Berichten zufolge ist 2021 ein weiterer guter Jahrgang für Syrah mit ausgeprägten Aromen von schwarzen Früchten und einer klassischen Nuance von schwarzen Oliven.

Die vorherrschende Sorte Syrah (71%) zeigt eine schöne Tintenfarbe im Glas. Die Grenache-Weinberge sind gut etabliert, und diese Sorte ist zweifellos der helle, duftende Star der Assemblage, die an einen alten Châteauneuf-du-Pape-ähnlichen Charme erinnert.

Die alte Rebsorte Cinsaut bleibt ein unangekündigtes Juwel, das den Wein mühelos zusammenhält und eine raffinierte Eleganz etabliert.

Cabernet Sauvignon ist mit nur acht Prozent Anteil essenziell, um dem Cuvée Struktur und Griffigkeit zu verleihen.

Ausbau: The Chocolate Block

Die Rebsorten Syrah und Cinsaut reiften in einer Kombination aus 2.500 Liter großen Fässern aus französischer Eiche und Barrique Fässern. Der Grenache wurde in 600 Liter Fässern gereift. Cabernet Sauvignon ist die einzige Komponente der Cuvée, die in neuen Barriques aus französischer Eiche ausgebaut wurde. Die Reifezeit lag zwischen 13 und 16 Monaten, abhängig von der Komponente und der Weinbergsparzelle. 2414 Barrique Fässer wurden für den 2019er Jahrgang ausgewählt.

The Chocolate Block im Glas

Der "The Chocolate Block" präsentiert sich in einem tiefen Rubin-Rot mit violetten Reflexen und einem fast schwarzen granat-kernigen Geschmack. Der Wein zeigt Aromen roter Beeren, dunklen Frucht-Kompotts und Veilchen. Am Gaumen schmeckt der Wein nach roten und schwarzen Beeren. Der Abgang ist lang anhaltend, schmeckt sehr gut und erinnert an dunkle Nussschokolade.

Ein Muss für jeden Weinliebhaber!

Are mushrooms in this?
Size: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I’m not sure mushrooms are in this. It has zero earthiness or creaminess to it, like other mushroom coffee I’ve had. I like it in that it’s organic and it dissolves well. The flavor of coffee is nice and strong

So far so good
Size: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Taste good, has a nice coffee taste. I like the amount you get, I was doing those expensive mushroom coffee brands, and this one gives you more for your money. They mostly taste the same but I like this one better. Will update with other benefits

Never Thought I'd Drink Mushrooms!
Size: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1), Size: 14 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I've been wanting to try a mushroom coffee to see if I feel any benefits. It's only been maybe a week, week and a half, and haven't really felt any difference so far. However, one needs to give time and I'm willing to wait and see. Also, I am NOT a mushroom lover, and try to avoid them in my food. I do know they're good nutrition wise, so decided to see if I could stomach the taste. I chose this brand as it was much more cost effective than the other advertised brands, and I only use organic. The taste by itself is a bit bitter, but when cream is added as I usually do for my coffee (no sweetener for me), well, *wow*, it's absolutely delicious. Super happy with the flavor! In fact, I think about it often during the day when not drinking it! Will be buying more for sure. I bought the instant as it's so easy to pack around with me when traveling and road tripping.

Strong and Bitter flavor.
Size: 28 Ounce (Pack of 1)
This tastes like extremely bitter and strong coffee I can't taste any mushroom and it whatsoever (not sure if there is even mushroom in it) but I definitely recommend using some form of creamer, honey, or cinnamon or maybe even hot chocolate to help out with a very strong and bitter flavor. But the bag is very large and a very good price. It was delivered as promised and very quickly.

Excellent LXX
Format: Hardcover
The NETS is the single best translation of the Septuagint on the market (at least at the moment). The translation follows an ultra-literal method of translation they call "interlinear". The reason for this is that the LXX follows the same pattern and is very jarring. So, where the Hebrew and LXX agree, they translate the Hebrew text and translate it as literally as possible following the LXX at the same time. Where it disagrees, they follow the LXX. It has as a "boiler-plate" the NRSV, but it eschews many NRSV translation principles like gender-inclusive language. All gender-inclusive language except when the LXX's language is itself gender-inclusive (and this happens). The method of translation further removes it from its English parent. In the end, the only way you can know that it started as an NRSV would be to read the introduction. It really only has a few drawbacks. First, because the Bible is written for scholarly study, it is not useful for liturgical use or for private devotional use. Its language would also be too hard for the average reader because of its audience. This, however, is its stated goal. It may be a draw-back, but that's a side-effect of what it set out to do. I do not like the way they translated "pnevma theou" as "divine wind" in Genesis. It's justifiable to a point (it means "breath" and "wind" as much as it does "spirit), but everywhere else I checked they translated translated "pnevma" as "spirit". It should be consistent. The reason for this is plainly obvious: it was produced by an inter-religious committee of Christians and Jews. Since Jews are not Trinitarians, and that would be a valid understanding of the Hebrew and to a degree of the Greek, they would naturally not want anything like this. Christians, almost from the beginning, have made the connection between "Spirit of God" in Genesis and "Holy Spirit". The connection is further exasperated in English, because "spirit" for us does not have the same range of meaning as it does in Greek or Hebrew. So, the only fault I can give them is that it is an inconsistent translation, not that it's an invalid one. The prefaces also almost invariably favor the theory that the LXX is a translation with liberties over that it has a different parent text. Both are truly present, but we generally cannot tell when the LXX reading cannot be derived from repointing or re-dividing the Hebrew words (at that time, they had not yet pointed the text or put spaces in it, and so there were more ways to interpret the consonants than in its current form). Again, however, they do not say anything that is invalid regarding the relation of the LXX and its parent text. I simply divide the text differently than they do and so do not always like the introductions' emphasis. Going back to its strengths, its production standards were exceptional. The binding is excellent, the font is excellent, and it has generous margins. It even does this by being as cheap as the "cheap" Bibles. Short of going back to rag paper, this is about as good as I would normally expect. Overall, if you have good reading skills, I would reccomend this translation hands-down over any other English translation.
