Lanessan Re-United at Chez Papies, London
Tasted Friday, November 5, 2010 by Papies with 617 views
Introduction
The lanessan crew re-united at our home. Idea was to focuss on Spain but the quality of the Bosconia (tried 2) and Tondonia were questionable. So we added a few gems here and there.
1998 Veuve Clicquot Champagne Brut La Grande Dame 94 Points
France, Champagne
Beautifull bottle. Fine bubbles and more to a fine burgandy than a sparkling wine. Very elegant, very round, not as sharp as a Dom but world class. Medium body. Drinks very well now.

1991 R. López de Heredia Rioja Gran Reserva Viña Tondonia

Not sure as to the quality of the bottle and for sure nothing to do with the wine we had on 5th of Sep. Earlier comment as it is more valid

Spain, Castilla y León, Ribera del Duero
Not as awe inspiring as last time but vega is vega and these reserva's are the best value fine wines in our mind especially post the 2009 charades in Bordeaux.

1999 Joh. Jos. Prüm Wehlener Sonnenuhr Riesling Auslese Goldkapsel 93 Points
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
From half bottle. Always a joy to try this wine. Lots of petrol textbook riesling on the nose. Medium body, well balanced and sweetness is in check. Complex, elegant. We have 1 more and we will not touch it for 5yr at least.
