January Lunch Notes
January lunch notes
Ca del Bosco Franciacorta (nv) – light yellow colour, lemony nose, citrus also on palate, clean, light and with a creamy feel. Very good. 2002 Soucherie Clos des Perrieres Savennieres – at the beginning, a distinctly Riesling nose, but that changed reasonably quickly to lusher fruit. On palate, tropical fruit, maybe a little mango, dry wine with good clean acidity. Liked this one a lot. 1982 Jadot Hospices de Beaune Cuvee Nicolas-Rolin – browning with a little poopy mocha happening in the nose, and some spice, soft, decent length. Wouldn’t have given this a hope of being this good if you’d asked me before it was opened. 1999 Malvira Roero Mombeltramo – this Nebbiolo wine showed an interesting nose of slightly dusty sweet fruit with slight hints of mint and cocoa, finished very dry and a tad short, but enjoyable. 2001 Frescobaldi Mormoreto – a slightly perplexing dark cabernet based wine that showed a big sweet nose with cedar hints, sweet entry, smooth and balanced with good but not assertive acidity. 2004 Dom. Serene Evenstad Reserve Pinot Noir – slightly musty sweet nose, sweet in the mouth, over oaked, simple but pleasant enough. Not like other Serenes I’ve tasted. 2000 Mastroberardino Taurasi Radici – good cabernet sort of nose with some spiciness (odd, given that this is all Aglianico…), perhaps a tad lean in the middle with medium body, structure on the spare side with some good flavours and good acidity. I recall this being a little more generous in previous tastings, so maybe just this bottle? 1993 Seghessio Barolo La Villa – I must agree with others that said that they would never have figured this for Barolo. Browning edges, a fruit based nose with some licorice that took awhile to clean itself up, medium body, good acid balance, tannins resolved, very decent finish. 1987 Quady Starboard Frank’s Vineyard – this California Port ringer had a really ripe nose of dates and dried oranges (and orange peel), brown edges, and was so sweet I was starting to wonder if it could be a PX. |
