    The Portrait of a Lady, Hörbuch, Digital, 374min
    Perhaps the most appealing of all the feminine "vessels of consciousness" that grace the novels of Henry James, Isabel Archer is a young American orphan who receives an inheritance from an uncle. Taken under her aunt's wings, she meets Madame Merle, her aunt's worldly friend, who instills in her the sense of European sophistication, a trait which comes to overpower her own common sense. Isabel marries widower Gilbert Osmond, a friend of Madame Merle, who projects refined tastes and intellectual detachment. She is utterly captivated by Osmond's languid charm. He is thrilled to have his superior prize. But in the end, Isabel discovers that her husband and Madame Merle are both exemplars of an appalling, complex depravity that has become the central issue in her life. Dutch-born American actress Nina Foch became famous in the 1940s playing cool, aloof, and often foreign women of sophistication. She played leading roles in many motion pictures classics, including The Ten Commandments, Spartacus, and An American in Paris. Language: English. Narrator: Nina Foch.

    Critical Thinking: Insights in Logical Fallacies and Sophistication in Deep Reasoning , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 221min
    The majority of this book is based on the concept of fallacies. This idea is the notion that people often come up with the wrong reasoning, the wrong conclusions, and the wrong steps in their logic. Since they do this, they often argue about things that completely seem to contradict each other, but they don’t.Many people base their fallacies on emotions, past experiences, biased thoughts, or some other thing that gets in the way of pure, correct, infallible logic.In this guide, many fallacies will be broken down, explained, and debunked. This alone can help someone think faster, better, and more accurately. At the end of the book, the “problem of criterion” is outlined, and some words are said about what humor is, where it comes from, and how you can use it more effectively. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Oskar Gundersen. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/acx0/222126/bk_acx0_222126_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.

    2016 2016 Chateau Palmer Margaux In 6er Holzkiste
    Was da auf Château Palmer kreiert wird, verschlägt einem schier den Atem! Biodynamie scheint wahrhaftig der Schlüssel zum dauerhaften Erfolg zu sein. Ganz gleich, welche Wetterbedingungen herrschen. Die hoch interessante, leicht minzige Note des Alter Ego auch im Château Palmer. Viel Teer, Tabak, Espresso, Würze, dazu tiefdunkle Frucht, frisch, saftig, druckvoll. Perfekt eingebundene Gerbstoffe machen ihn zu einem wahren Bordeaux-Kunstwerk! Wine Advocate: 95-97/100 Punkte  "The 2016 Palmer is a blend of 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot cropped at 29 hectoliters per hectare between 3 and 18 October. Matured in 65% new oak (my sample coming from a used barrel), the bouquet is perhaps not quite as intense as some of its peers and takes time to click into fifth gear. Eventually it offers tightly wound blackberry, briary and mineral scents; it is very focused, but maybe less extrovert and more classic in style compared to recent vintages. The palate is medium-bodied with a gentle grip on the entry, quite firm in the mouth with slightly tarry black fruit, hints of black truffle developing towards the finish that feels masculine and linear. It has very impressive length, completing what is an intellectual Palmer, one that I suspect will really blossom in bottle." Trinkgenuss: 2024 bis 2055  Weinwisser: 19/20 Punkte  “… (47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 29 hl/ha, 65% Grand Vin) Konzentriertes, samtenes, komplexes, süsses Bouquet, Cassis, schwarze Brombeeren, Amarenakirschen, Tabak, Pralinen, fein Eukalyptus, Dörrfrüchte, Trüffel, Lakritze. Konzentrierter, vielschichtiger, samtener, fein opulenter Gaumen mit cremiger, dichter Struktur, kräftiger, süsser Frucht, vielfältiger, süsser Aromatik, viel gutem Tannin, sehr langer, aromatischer, dichter Abgang mit vielen, süssen Rückaromen. Kann noch zulegen." James Suckling: 99-100/100 Punkte  "I wrote that the 2015 was incredible, and this 2016 is again. It's equally structured and powerful as the 2015, yet there's an underlying intellectual serenity to this wine. You taste it, and you want to know and experience it even more. Full and tannic yet ever so polished and beautiful. Mesmerizing. Made from biodynamically grown grapes."  Decanter: 98/100 Punkte  "The grand vin represents 65% of production in 2016, the highest ever. It has many similarities in style with the 2001 and 1986, being a classically styled wine full of soft slate, fern, liquorice and cassis, but from the modern era where you can achieve so much more precision. This is a wine that makes you smile from the first sip, and keeps on getting better, caressing you gently across the palate. There is never any let up through the mid-palate, and the biodynamics that have been practised here for the past few years are clearly paying off. Elegant, utterly silky and precise, the structure is just effortless with reasonably fresh alcohols that are the result of late ripening. A perfect example of the appellation, it has the florality, density and slow tannic pace that means it takes you right along with it as the flavours build. The blend is 47% Merlot, 47% Cabernet Sauvignon and 6% Petit Verdot. Intellectual without being overbearing, and built to age. This is impressive stuff."  Antonio Galloni vinous: 95-98/100 Punkte "Sophisticated and polished from the outset, the 2016 Palmer is utterly captivating. Dark shades of fruit, accented by hints of smoke, leather and discreet French oak open up in the glass, but it is the wine'e effortless, gracious personality that stands out most. The 2016 literally hovers on the palate with exquisite grace. I can't wait to see how it ages."  Wine Enthusiast: 98-100/100 Punkte "Potentially an 100-point wine, this is beautifully ripe and rich, with sweet tannins as well as opulent black fruit tones. A higher than usual proportion of Cabernet Sauvignon in the blend gives the wine its density, sophistication and great sense of presence."  Bitte beachten Sie die Sonderbedingungen der Subskription in unseren AGB.
