Introduction

New years eve with wife, kids and neighbours. I did all the cooking.

Flight 1 - Snacks (1 Note)

Mini-crostini: 1) foie gras with red onion in red wine, 2) quail eggs with truffle, 3) buffalo mozzarella with chili.

Lobster variations: lobster bisque, lobster claws with melted butter, pieces of lobster tail in white sauce. The white burgundy was used for the bisque.

Tournedos Rossini with peas a la francaise. A perfect match the the la chapelle!

  • 2003 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Hermitage La Chapelle 95 Points

    France, Rhône, Northern Rhône, Hermitage

    Very dark red. Impressive nose at opening which has toned down a bit after 4 hours in the decanter, but still reveals plenty of blackberries, blueberries, spicy and minty notes, pepper and licorice. Very powerfull with all the right elements, but not into place yet. The sense of power married to restraint gives an impression of very balanced wine even if its far from seamless at this point. I think this is starting to shut down a bit, but its still a remarkable wine.

Flight 4 - Cheese (1 Note)

Stilton and a soft white cheese.

Flight 5 - Cake

When the bell rang we had "kransekage" and some ridiculous Austrian bubbly with little pieces of 23 carat gold in it....
