A deeper yellow than 2010, but the still attractive aromas seem more straightforward and the palate a little more aggressive. When texturally compared to 2010, it’s like feeling a piece of wood sanded by 120-grade grit rather than a finer 400-grade, subtly coarser. 2011 also seems older than 2009 and 2010. Then the provenance is revealed: this 2011 example wasn’t one kept in the silver mine! Instead, it was a comparison bottle aged at the Cantina. Now the subtle maturation influences of the silver mine seem apparent, leaving no doubt in my mind that it plays an essential role in retaining nuances of aroma and flavour and subtleties in texture. Unfortunately, a silver mine 2011 example wasn’t available to confirm this. 2012 At Poschhaus Stollen, a bright red electric train with yellow carriages awaits us. Its fairground-like appearance belies its serious role as the only practical way in and out of the mine. Meanwhile, we dress in waterproofs and rubber boots (this level is muddy, being an exit for mine waters). Helmets and lamps are essential too. Outside, it’s approaching 30°C, so the mine initially offers welcome respite.

Here the bottles stay for seven years, undisturbed in natural conditions that remain constant year-round. There is no light, sound or vibration – only silent darkness. Furthermore, the temperature (11°C) and humidity (90%) are perfect. Atmospheric pressure is also lower at this altitude, meaning 20% less oxygen is present than at sea level, reducing oxygen ingress through the corks. After the release of the successful live album Space Ritual and single " Urban Guerrilla" in 1973, vocalist Robert Calvert and electronics player Dik Mik Davies left, leaving the group as a five-piece. In November and December 1973, Hawkwind undertook their first live tour of North America taking in ten dates. [9] During this time, Del Dettmar bought land near Calgary in Canada and signalled to the group his intent that he and his pregnant wife were to emigrate. [10]

May 23, 1970 Afan Lido Sports Centre, Port Talbot, WAL (Afan Festival No. 2, with Keef Hartley Big Band, Taste, Yes, Atomic Rooster, Writing On The Wall, Bloody Welsh, Gypsy & Skin Alley) The group returned to North America a second time for a more comprehensive tour consisting of 22 dates in March and April under the banner of "1999 Party", taking their entire entourage with them including dancer Stacia, MC and DJ Andy Dunkley, a lightshow by Jonathan Smeeton (Liquid Len) and support from United Artists Records label mates Man. [13] [14] [15] Although Dettmar had not yet left the group, House joined the band for this tour, but not having the appropriate work permit, his performances were strictly unofficial. [12] The Chicago and Detroit shows on 21 and 23 March were professionally recorded, the former being released in 1997 as The 1999 Party. A return to higher residual sugar due to a later harvest. Pale gold. 2013 offers an attractive candied fruit sensation on the palate. It feels like a much younger wine, more restrained; you sense there’s more yet to unfurl. Powerful aromas of stone fruits, rose petals and lychee, with hints of something green, sage perhaps. A more luscious expression than 2012, kept agile by focused mineral-like acidity. 2015

Hawkwind's frequent solo support act and occasional live guest musician Steve Peregrin Took had a song "The Ballad of the Mountain Grill," [5] released in 1995 on a Cleopatra Records CD under alternative title "Flophouse Blues (in the Mountain Grill)". [6] At one point, underground newspaper International Times had its printworks in the upstairs of the Grill.

The Epokale project has become a great success. After much research and planning, the debut 2009 vintage became the first Italian white wine to receive a perfect 100-point score from Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate in 2018. Additionally, it became the only 100-point Italian wine outside Tuscany or Piemonte. The entry is at the bottom gallery of the disused silver mine, which closed in the late sixties. It’s at 1,973 metres altitude. That’s 6,500 feet and so 2,000 feet higher than Ben Nevis, Britain’s highest mountain.
