Fine Wine Tasting at the Boot & Flogger
St Estephe & Haut Medoc from 2006 & 2007
Domaine Bouchard Pere & Fils
Lovely red plumb fruit nose and nice length
I am afraid it was a little bit too harsh and rough

A really beautiful Volnay
Great price for a lovely wine

A nice attempt in a very hot year.
The L'Enfant Jesus is a classic Beaune with great fruit and spice aromas with a lovely smooth complex taste

This really did stand out and stood up really well beside the Palmer.
Complex palate of fruit, leather and nice round tannins.
This is drinking now

As per my previous notes on this vintage it is not a great year and Palmer really tried hard and made a lovely rich deep and round wine.
Fig, spice and smoke with red berries. Soft ripe tannins. A little bit of greenish undertones.

This is a really amazing wine.
Really heavy and powerful and after 25 years it is still packing a punch. Hardly any bricking.
Dark red fruit with leather and chocolate.
This will keep going for a lot longer.

Amazing wine
Full structure still there and still vibrant and fresh.
Plumb, chocolate and red berries with a cigar box and wood taste.
This is an amazing Pichon from a classic vintage that just keeps going.
THIS WAS THE WINE OF THE NIGHT

Apple, hazelnuts and floral aromas.
Good minerality and a long finish.
Some hints of butter and vanilla.
Yum Yum

Deep rich colour.
A complex aroma of fresh fruit and chocolate. Full bodied with good round tannins.
Very long length and a beautiful finish
I wonder what the '77 is like.

A lovely refreshing and light NV from Gosset. It has a great array of green fruits and some acidity but not too much.
I really do like this house

What a lovely Sauternes. The 2003 was such a great year for Ch Guiraud
Massive honey and burnt sugar tastes with a rich complex round full mouth feel. Not too over the top and has a lovely balance.
I am so happy I have a few cases of this.

2006 Château Capbern-Gasqueton 86 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe
A reasonably pleasant St Estephe that should be drunk quite young.
Less tannic with nice red fruit notes

2007 Château Calon-Ségur 88 Points
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, St. Estèphe
Sweet cherry and red currant fruit with an undercurrent of earth and some spice.
Medium bodied and really really heavily tannic.
Way too young to drink. Need to see it in a couple of years.
