1985 Salon Champagne Blanc de Blancs BrutChardonnay more |
7/22/2016 - sjwshiraz wrote: NRSummer 2016. Drank at Noves. Drank alongside a perfect 1982 vintage Krug. This suffered in comparison. Perhaps I'm unlucky, but I never seem to have earth shattering bottles of old Salon (past 1995 and 1996 which are for me benchmark) 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |

1967 M. Chapoutier Hermitage La SizeranneSyrah more |
7/21/2016 - sjwshiraz wrote: NRSummer 2016. Drank at Baumaniere. The last bottle served at dinner. A very strikingly dark colour and an almost too sweet nose of damson. With air, this calmed down and offered up lovely leather saddle, pepper and rose hints. I prefer La Chapelle in 67 but this was an intriguing counterpoint. |

At its best after 3 hours in the decanter by which time it is more Cote Rotie and less syrah. Extremely good. I will buy the rest of the case tomorrow. |
