2018 Montevertine Toscana IGT and 2009 Chapoutier Ermitage Le Méal Blanc.
I had a 95 last year that was lovely. These wines can age very well.
After some tequila cocktails
We started with a birth year wine for my daughter and her husband. Classic Pomerol
Needed another bottle and this was really drinking great
went with my last 2003 SQN Papa - outstanding, drinking at it’s peak imo.
All were excellent. All absolutely at peak and in perfect condition. Great lunch and afternoon with a few friends
We are actually in Japan, and without a kitchen this time, so this was at a restaurant. We’ve made both eel and many pickled vegetables at home, though.
Both are great wines, Suzanne,
Almost jealous!
Only the 3 of us. We started with some Roederer 242. Still tight but starting to show some nice complexity and depth. Had steak (and other more T–givingy stuff, as the main–I just can’t hack turkey–so we tried the 2016 Comtesse Pichon Lalande. Sublime wine, obviously, still on the young side, but gorgeous, balanced and multifaceted. First of six.
How did the Pavelot drink? I have 2 and have been patiently waiting to open one.
Double Aubert dinner - 2020 CIX Chardonnay and 2019 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
Were all 3 floating in the air?
How was the ‘10 Grezeaux?
WOTN. We were just having that discussion. I think it needs a few more years though.
