TN: '99 Ste. Colombe (CdC)
Betsy had a full day Sunday- Sufi/Indian music in a Presbyterian Church (!!),
then a matinee of "Magic Flute". So I volunteered to do dinner. Lamb chops and eggplant on the grill, with spinach and some baked potatoes. Lamb usually signals Bordeaux to me, and since I like my meat rare I went for a young one. The 1999 Ch. Ste.Colombe (Côtes de Castillon) is from an estate partially owned by Gérard Perse of Pavie fame. So one might expect a very New Wave style. There is definitely some oak there, but there is also moderate acidity, a real Bordeaux nose with minerals and a little lead-pencil, and good fruit. The fruit runs mostly to the red side- cherry and red berries. A nice medium bodied Right Banker, modern without being outlandish, ready to drink, and a good deal at $10-12. A B+ on my easy scale.
