Six of us got together for an outstanding BBQ dinner. Great food, great wine, great company. As always very hard taking notes …

oyster (oosterschelde)

  • 2014 Domaine Eleni et Edouard Vocoret Chablis 1er Cru Butteaux - France, Burgundy, Chablis, Chablis 1er Cru
    Lifted nose with young stone fruit and floral notes on the palate good intensity and structure. Young needs time. (91 pts.)

lobster (oosterschelde)

  • Guillaume S. Champagne Au dessus du Gros Mont - France, Champagne
    Disgorged: July 16, 2015. It has a huge intense nose of lime, apricot and aromatic complexity. Very rich and complex forward flavours of smoke, brioche and ripe apple. 100 % chardonnay and impressive from Guillaume Selosse. (94 pts.)
  • 2006 Dom Pérignon - France, Champagne
    Elegant nose of green apple, plus notes of ripe pear, all very elegant with a tense structure full of brightness and energy. Has good potential. (93 pts.)

salad | pasta

  • 2014 Domaine Jean Chartron Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Clos de la Pucelle - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
    Discreet elegant nose of stony citrus. The palate is fresh and concentrated, balanced by fine acidity, a bit tight now needs time to show more complexity. (92 pts.)
  • 2004 Domaine Ramonet Bâtard-Montrachet - France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Bâtard-Montrachet Grand Cru
    Very rich, compact and powerful. Immense refined concentration: nutty, fruity, complex and very long. (94 pts.)

iberico ham joselito | presa de lomo

  • 2012 Cecile Tremblay Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru Les Rouges du Dessus - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Vosne-Romanée 1er Cru
    Extremely appealing notes of spicy raspberry and wild strawberry fruit, a tense silky texture with incredible finesse. Top wine with a lot of elegance. (93 pts.)
  • 2008 Domaine Bruno Clair Bonnes Mares - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Bonnes Mares Grand Cru
    After an hour decant. Bold dark fruit, very concentrated, spicy, powerful and tannic, closed and lacking finesse now. Should age well. (90 pts.)
  • 2009 Domaine Trapet Chambertin - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
    Lovely nose of red fruit and spices. On the palate more earthy notes on a tight but ripe structure. Needs time to develop greater complexity of flavours. (92 pts.)
  • 1990 Labaume Aine & Fils Chambertin - France, Burgundy, Côte de Nuits, Chambertin Grand Cru
    Complex and mature with hints of forest floor and savoury undertones. Wonderful balanced with depth, power and fine integrated tannins. (92 pts.)

lamsrack | ribeye steak

  • 1989 Château La Grave a Pomerol Trigant de Boisset - France, Bordeaux, Libournais, Pomerol
    Mature and compact, with spicey, earthy and tannic tones and good definition. (90 pts.)
  • 2008 Château Lafite Rothschild - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
    Offering full aromas of black fruits and tobacco. On the palate, impressive tannic structure with earth, cedar and intense black fruits, needs time to develop greater complexity. (94 pts.)
  • 1976 Château Lafite Rothschild - France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac
    Lovely aromas of cedar, tobacco and leather. Complex, refined with a smooth structure and a long spicy finish. A delightful and mature Lafite. (94 pts.)

macarons | cheese

  • 2007 Château Coutet - France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Barsac
    Focused and intense with tangy acidity and underlying notes of pineapple and citrus fruit. Young needs time. (91 pts.)
