What wine goes with Chinese food? Dinner (Phoenix Palace London): Perhaps the forgiving glasses, or perhaps the wine gods were smiling on us, but this was clean as a whistle and doing just what was asked of it. Lovely structure, vibrant fruit still. My red of the night and #2 wine.

Chardonnay and Pinot Noir Wimps - Racine (La Trompette): Slight earthiness on the nose - will it get better or are we in for a stinky one? Happily the former - all integrates nicely, a bit more heft and structure than I was expecting, still deliciously drinkable but there’s also a proper 1er cru quality to it. Best bottle from this case I think, my red of the lunch and #2 wine.

Spätburgunder und so weiter; 6/29/2023-6/30/2023 (Noizé): Some real funk to this - in a way I found thoroughly enjoyable - as well as a gentle coke-float element. Some discussion of VA? I'm not sure but if so - definitely on the right side of enjoyable for me. This wine was the winner of the "if you could take one bottle of red home with you do drink at the weekend" contest.

Spätburgunder und so weiter (Noizé, London): A little bretty with some cherry Tunes and a Kombucha on the nose. Palate is focused with great acidity, a little tar and some incense. With air and the food a gentle Lady Grey tea character emerges. Love the slight animale edge to this.

Again, darker fruited than most of the spatbs tonight. Earthier and a bit of brett. Surprisingly very ripe.
