TNs from tonight: (ultramarine, rostaing, cantenac brown)

WINE TALK
1

2014 Ultramarine Rose

Not champagne… but delicious. Great minerality, complexity, and tastiness. Strawberries, cream, and white peach on the nose, very nice palate presence, long finish, nice bead.

2009 Cantenac Brown

At prime. Tobacco, leather, and cassis. Extremely long finish.

2009 Rene Rostaing La Landonne

Great potential, needs 3-5 years. Smoked meat, olive tapenade, and garrique on the nose, firm tannins that grudgingly resolved with some time in the glass, languorous finish.

Another bottle of the 09 cantenac brown tonight was superb

Have I ever said…I like the way you drink? flirtysmile

Chang balls! I have that Cantenac and would not have thought to even try to. Thanks!

5

I’ve had the 09 and 10 in the last year and the 09 has been just fantastic.

6

I have had 2 bottles of the 09 Cantenac Brown in the last month and both were singing (with a 2 hour decant). Both bottles outperformed the more expensive 09 Duhart-Milon and 09 Beau-Sejour Becot.
