Lampreia, Seattle
Tasted Friday, December 2, 2005 by Jason with 1,167 views
Scott Manlin had planned a trip to Seattle to show us all how to "step up." Unfortunately, Scott had to "step down" from the trip. We decided to have the event without him. Thanks to Eric for making all the arrangements.
While I liked the dish, I am not sure this was a pairing I would try again. The running egg did not pair well these wines to my palate.
This was my favorite dish of the evening. I generally stay away from artichokes when having fine wine, but it somehow worked tonight.
I had pineapple and raspberry ravioli, but I finished that long before trying the Port
Next time hopefully Scott can make it.
1990 Château Doisy-Daëne 91 Points
France, Bordeaux, Sauternais, Barsac
This paired perfectly with seared foie gras. The nose showed burnt caramel with a hint of plastic. The palate was balanced with good acidity. It didn't show great complexity but it was a pleasure to drink.
