Cut-paste posting from another thread. A shout out for the meaty slice from around my neighborhood that I took home. The wine went along with my cravings.
The 1996 Ch. Clinet (Pomerol) can definitely hold its own in a highly-regarded Left Bank vintage. Seems a little riper and sweeter than most from the vintage but nevertheless showed all the classic mature Bordeaux characters and charm with graphite, mineral, and leather notes. Pizza wine need not be boring.
Matt (who runs Yardley) isn’t there on Tuesdays, they always seem to send some out a bit over on the edge of the crust, that would get held usually, but still delicious
If is this is a response to Mr Kane’s comments about an anchovy/mashed potato/broccoli pizza, I don’t think calling out that pizza counts as snobbery. That’s just good old fashioned common sense!
