At home with Mark and Keiko

Just a quiet dinner with Mark and Keiko. Toad in the hole and salad and I had half a bottle of Croze Hermitage to finish and an Aussie Shiraz to try and Mark turned up with a CNdP so a good combination.
As good as the night before, chalkiness came through again but I can forgive!
A good series of different but similar reds. Glad I've got more of the Seppelts, do I want more of the CH?
All good wines; nice to have an evening of all good, enjoyable wines.

Wow a step up from the 05 which I bought at the same time. The clarity of the wine is almost like the crystal and catches the light as well. Balance is spot on with wonderful citrus fruit; pomelo, grapefruit, lemon and limes as well as granny smith apples. Piercing long finish with a hint of chalk which isn't really to my liking - seems to produce a hollow spot but this is wonderful.
