Lovely dinner with lovely people at a lovely restaurant. Thanks to Chris for organizing and Alan and Jim for providing most of the wines.
The food matched the wines very well. Disappointing showing on a couple of bottles but I don't think we were particularly unlucky. I'm clearly about the last to discover Gonon but...jolly nice stuff, and I see what the fuss is about!
2006 Château de Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 89 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Châteauneuf-du-Pape
Popped and poured. Started off a bit muted - wondered if there was anything there. Opened up - became quite delicious - big bodied and voluptuous but enough acidity underneath it to make it worthy of attention. Fruit - ripe fruit - apricots perhaps...
