I grabbed a dozen Bordeaux, with a focus on the older stuff that was easy to find, that I'd not tried before and dragged them home to try over the course of a few days...
there are worse ways to spend a Monday night.
I really need to start trying these wines blind. I just really like them and that makes me a little nervous that it might just be the sight of the bottle is producing a Pavlovian response...
After visiting last September I've (very slowly) started to pull some into my cellar. The 81 was very impressive considering the vintage...
I let the Prieure Lichine guide me to pull out a couple of near at hand 11's to look at. In the end the Cap l'Ousteau was the one that filled my glass to go with dry aged lamb chops for supper
Of the oldies, well, the Pavie was a bit of a disappointment. But, contrariwise, the Prieur Lichine was good. And the Duhart Milon and Lafon Rochet are both the kinds of wines to make me a very happy chappy.
2010 Château L'Arrosée

From Coravin. Savoury plum, cedar, quite spicy on the nose...On the palate it's juicy, savoury and spiced with plums a little bitter chocolate and a softly tannic breadth to the mid-palate. Finishes a little warm. Hmm. Time will help I think.
