The NoMad
Tasted Wednesday, February 12, 2020 by MC2 Wines with 221 views
Always fun to celebrate friends as they hit milestones and this night was no different.
Tuna tartare and some absolutely delicious brussel sprouts
A nice hamachi crudo with green apple and some jalepanos (the later of which I avoided)
NoMad chicken which is one of my most favorite things plus some black truffle risotto
A very lovely steak which was prob overkill at this point in the night but also quite delicious and well seasoned.
The truth is there was an embarrassment of riches from a wine perspective. Number of folks called the '85 DP their favorite and I'll agree that it was just rocking. But I was incredibly impressed with the Burlotto Monvigliero and the Clos Rougeard. Really no bad wines and so I'm splitting hairs here. Also an excellent meal. And great company. So a successful all around night.

Who doesn't like pink bubbles as a way to start the meal. Compared to the other two in this flight these were more 'easy' and less complex but certainly also very tasty. Good red fruits and nice quality of bubble.

Just starting to tell that the age is coming here and this is a producer that I've always enjoyed with more age. Prob a touch more on the fresh side and touch less on the complex, but still quite tasty. And perfect for where it was in the evening where everyone was gathering and it was more on intros and catching up and less of a focus on the wine.

WOTN for many people. This was just drinking perfectly. In that spot between having the age and the complexity that comes from that and more caramel and slightly toasty flavors to also still having all of the vibrancy. Love this wine.
