Mostly Bordeaux
Dinner notes:
with amuses bouche: 1995 Henriot Champagne – showing some complexity, clean, very nice. with scallop soup: 2006 Eben Sadie Palladius – while I prefer Sadie’s reds, this unusual blend of Chenin, Viognier and grenchae blanc is always interesting. This one for some reason didn’t show much nose but was full flavoured and had a persistent finish. with Alsatian style halibut sausage: 1999 Dom. Weinbach Schlossberg Riesling – loved this one – typical Riesling nose with petrol and hint of pear, lots of flavour on palate and finished long and dry. with porcini risotto: 1997 Aurelio Settimo Roche Barolo – edges starting to show some brick, very good nose with black cherry, still showing tannins in the mouth, with good fruit and a nice sweetness at the end. with duck magret and confit: 1983 Boyd Cantenac – wanted to drink up some 83s before they fall too far off the table. I didn’t have too high an expectation for this Margaux, but was pleasantly surprised to find it the darker of the two, with a dark nose of plums and spice, fruit was good and the length just fine. Really hit and miss with this producer. I have some decent 1975, but have been disappointed many times by other vintages. 1983 La Gaffeliere – this St. Emilion was less pleasing. Slightly muted pale wine, the entry was OK, but fruit was missing mid palate, and it did have tannins at the end. The nose briefly rallied, but then went AWOL again. Basically a waste of time – if not a dead wine, it was certainly in extremis. with gorgonzola: 1988 Ch. Guiraud – a nice pineapple nose, medium sweet, a bit lighter than the following wine, with good balance. 1988 Ch. Suduiraut – more depth in this nose, and more lemon, clean with a long honeyed finish. Great fun to have tasted this pair repeatedly over several years to watch them change. |

What is Eben Sadie- BC? I think most Margaux properties made their best wines of the 80s in 83. 88 may be my favorite mature Sauternes vintage thanks for notes |
