Tasted Friday, February 8, 2008 - Saturday, February 9, 2008 by Burgundy Al with 995 views
Went to Tampa with some friends. Drank some great older wine over two nights. As always, great steak.
There were other wonderful wines for which I failed to take notes or my notes are illegible. And alas I'm typing this too long after the event o trust my memory for some, particularly for wine later in the evening. These others include:
Mayacamas 1973 Cabernet
Massandra 1934 White Muscat
I think my good friend, the Winefool, might have posted more complete tasting notes.
1982 E. Guigal Hermitage Blanc 87 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
(2/8/2008)
Dark color, bordering on light brown territory. Fully mature flavors with roasted hazelnut and mature ripe fruit. Not a personal favorite.

1982 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Blanc 90 Points
France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage
(2/8/2008)
Dark color. Nicely perfumed with fruit that was on the right side of ripe vs. over-ripe, especially since old over-ripe fruit will often smell rotten. Ripe peach and apricot, good spice overall, but still a bit short.
