December Lunch Notes
Lunch notes:
2005 Voge Fleur de Crussol St. Peray this Northern Rhone white showed citrus nose with an almost but not quite menthol element, nice flavours and good acidity. Good. 2004 Dagueneau Pur Sang a nice treat. Clean gooseberry aromas, sweet entry on palate and a ton of acidity. Some ripe cantaloupe. 1990 Jean Bourdy Cotes de Jura Blanc some colour, and an interesting nose with some oxidation, but lots of complexity a ton of old chard flavour and reasonable length. Interesting curiosity. 1982 Bourdy Cotes de Jura Rouge a Pinot, Poulsard and Trousseau blend that looked like an old faded pinot noir. No fruit left, some sweetness in the nose and only acidity in the finish. 1982 Jaboulet Hermitage La Chapelle I brought this because some of the attendees hadnt been at my La Chapelle dinner, and the ones that had tasted a 1982 I thought was inferior. This turned out to be far better, showing a Rhone nose, good colour, smooth sweet entry and excellent length. 1982 Ch. La Lagune also my wine after all, it is Christmas soon. Nice sweet fruit in the nose, sweet in the mouth with some tannin, and good length. No rush, in excellent shape. A fun pair to choose between. 1989 Ch. Pichon Baron a sadly corked wine that nonetheless still showed good body and fruit. For some reason I skipped this and my cellar brackets it with 1988 and 1990. 1998 Le Machiole Paleo Rosso a blend of 85% cab sauv, 10% cab franc and 5% sangiovese. Big fruit in the nose with lots of cherry, seemed so much like a California cabernet! 1997 Poggio Salvi Brunello Im not familiar with this producer, but liked the wine a lot. Real vitamin tablet nose, and some up front tannins that hit you before you got far into it. Sweet entry, very good length, good acidity. 1986 Grahams Malvedos Port obviously Port, but seemed so young and unevolved. Not as sweet as Grahams often is, but hot. Needs time. Pleased to see I have a half case. Not in any hurry about this one! Nice December lunch. And to all a good night! |
