Big wines @ La Fleur

Big Wine dinner organised by a few friends. Sin, Edmond and Stephen graciously brought a long the 2003 Lafite, 1995 Hill of Grace and 96 Margaux for us to taste.
Dinner was organised at a friendly restaurant frequented by Stephen. The service was excellent and they were very helpful.

We started off with a Meursault brought along by PL with some seafood platters oysters, ham etc. for starters

Then lamb, steak, foie gras and pasta for mains.

As suggested by Ed, we started off with the Margaux because it was opened and double decanted earlier. then the Hill and then the lafite to finish it off!

A very enjoyable evening with some wine buddies!

  My first experience with Hill of Grace. Lot of baked plum on the nose. very very intense. The intensity is also noted on the palate. Tannins very fine well integrated. long finish! excellent!

• 2003 Château Lafite Rothschild 99 Points

  France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Pauillac

  Star of the night. The nose was very complex with lots of cedar, minerals, cassis, floral. Still very fresh on the palate. perhaps a little too young. spicy, toast, minerals. cassis, floral, chocolate, all coming together very nicely. again the tannins very fine. excellent finish!
