2008 Pavelot €śaux Guettes€ť Savigny-les-Beaune Fairly reticent to start, opens up. Crunchy black raspberry fruit, espresso, coffee, some herbal notes. No hurry here. B+ Oysters, mussels with tomato and pasta, 2018 Drouhin St. Veran Apple and white pit fruit, citrus flowers, ripe fruit but good acids, a good deal. B/B+ Korean chicken wings, broccoli, rice 2019 Laguerre Eos Rose (Cotes du Roussillon) Fuller style, a little dull, ok with food but I like zippier rose.B-/C+ Oysters, fluke, rice bowl (salmon, pickles, seaweed, ikura), bok choy 1998 Nigl Privat Riesling Deep color, but still lively. Dry peach, apple, petrol. Long stony finish. B+ Tuscan-style milk braised pork, pasta, eggplant, broccoli, salad 2016 Felsina Fontalloro Pretty tight at first, but with a couple hours in decanter it opens nicely. Black cherry, saddle leather, anise. Pretty ripe with nice acidic/tannic structure. B+ Beef Hungarian (peppers and paprika), sauteed potatoes, salad 1977 Sterling Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve This was for our Zoom call, 2 out of 7 had duff bottles (one maderized, one out of control VA). Mine was fine - just a little lifted note, high-toned as wed say, but definitely not flaw. Red fruit with a camphor meets herb note, still a hint of tannin, clean lively acid. Fruit gets sweeter and richer through night. Very nice showing . B+/A- 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. |
