A lovely birthday lunch with Vouvray, Bordeaux and a Riesling. (David's.): Only 400 bottles of this wine were produced and they were not made commercially available, so this this was a generous and rare birthday treat by our host. Unfortunately, much to our chagrin, the wine was corked. However, one was able to discern ripe apple and pear compote flavors with a bit of apricot and an exotic Indian spice character. One can tell there is a tremendous wine here and it seems, strangely enough, lighter than I recall the Moelleux Réserve and the 1ère Trie being, but it's tough to take full stock of the wine with the tca present. Some days you just hate corks.
