He lost to Federer. All of Britain is in mourning.
2010 Lucia Gary’s Vineyard Pinot Noir. Stellar. Pressing Carrie for an El Nido El Nido to go with a dinner of garlic parmigiana pasta. Total overload of FLAVOR tonight.
Last night …
2000 Trimbach Pinot Gris Hommage a Jean with sushi
Last night we had a good 1995 Terre Rouge Syrah with our meal.
On Monday night, we had a very acidic and not too sweet, and enjoyable, 2002 Karthäserhof Eitelsbacher Karthäuserhof Riesling Auslese from the Ruwer Valley - Fill a quarter inch below the capsule, cork stained over halfway; color a pale yellow, good white fruits, very good acidity, and not very noticible sweetness; with a medium long fruity, acidic finish.
at Ravinia last night:
Tempier Bandol Rose
Camille Saves Rose Champagne
06 SA Prum Wehlen Sonnenuhr Auslese
ooops. I mis-read this as Andrew McMurray. Damn dyslexia!
What year for the Tempier? I just picked up a couple of mags + some 750s of the 2011.
Consecutive nights, checking in on some of my white burgs…
2007 Jobard Meursault ‘En La Barre’
2005 Maison Chanson Meursault Blagny 1er
Both were really delightful with excellent acidity and alluring aromas. The Jobard was showing some oxidation, which was by no means off-putting but offered more toasty/nuttiness and other secondary aromas. The Chanson certainly was the more youthful and vibrant of the 2, with notes of ripe pear, lemon oil and slate-like minerality…a bit more promise there. I think its time to drink up the Jobard!
Cheers!
2011 bought and popped same day
The suspense is killing me. How was it?
2010 Copain P2
2000 Scherrer OMV
I had the 2011 a few weeks ago and friggin’ loved it. I could drink it all summer long… and then some. Great cut, lots of great melon fruit, pepper, chives, all sorts of stuff going on.
Thanx, IJB, for the Tempier report!
Last night:
05 Ducru-Beaucaillou
01 Troplong-Mondot
05 Aubert Ritchie Chard
09 Orin Swift Mercury Head

Well done! Curious as to your impressions on both the Hobel and the Corra.
Going to follow this over the course of the weekend. Lovely floral aromas.
