[TN] '99 Font de Michelle CNdP
With a long-awaited break in the temperatures and the prospect of my
mother leaving the hospital tomorrow, we broiled some lamb chops and opened: 1999 Font de Michelle Chateauneuf-du-Pape nose: meaty, kirschwasser palate: vivid acidity, medium body, fully resolved tannins Jean had requested a Chateauneuf with the lamb, so I chose this as one of our readiest examples. Quite ready with great balance and a very "typical" profile of meat and cherry fruit, this wine was a counterexample to the "bigger is better" school of winemaking in the region. Very nice with the lamb. Mark Lipton |

Mark Lipton Good to hear your mom is better. Agree with Dale as so many recent CdP's seem to have jumped the shark. |
