With some marinated chicken from HMart, the 2016 Clos de la Roilette (Coudert) Fleurie. Sweet berries, some noticeable tannin, a little minty note. Fresh and long. Cant wait to try Tardive. B+
Before dinner Friday I shucked a few oysters, and opened the 2016 Pepiere €śClos des Briords€ť Muscadet. Nice showing - lemon and seashell, full with racy acids, saline/rock finish. B+/A- Broiled teriyaki salmon, rice with furikake, and bok choy. Wine was the 2014 Raventos €śde Nit€ť (Conca del Riu Anoia) . Tight bead, bright red fruit, but unlike previous bottles this seemed a little clipped and dull. Off bottle? C+/B- Saturday we went to some friends home for dinner and to see their son, who just finished an Army rotation in Korea. We carried the appetizers- canapes of lonza and smoked salmon (not together), plus warm crostini with cheddar with olives. The 2014 Avinyo Cava Brut Reserva was soft and a little sweet, with a vanillin note (oak?). B- A nice salad with bacon and apple, then lamb shanks with orange zest on white beans. 2005 Lopez de Heredia €śBosconia€ť Rioja Reserva Beautiful, elegant showing. Black cherry and plum, citrus zest, spice. Balanced and pretty.. B+/A- 1995 Felsina Fontalloro Black cherry, leather, underbrush. Resolved tannins, balance acids, tasty and ready. B+ 2013 Petit Saint Vincent €śLes Poyeux€ť Saumur-Champigny Tannic, red fruited, some herb. A tad sharp and disjointed. Does not remind one of Rougeard. B- Sunday was scallops, broccoli rabe, braised leeks, rice, and the 2015 Bzikot Bourgogne Blanc. Balanced acidity, white pear fruit, a little butterscotch note, decant length. Good food wine. B Grade disclaimer: I'm a very easy grader, basically A is an excellent wine, B a good wine, C drinkable. Anything below C means I wouldn't drink at a party where it was only choice.Furthermore, I offer no promises of objectivity, accuracy, and certainly not of consistency. |
