Tasted Thursday, December 11, 2014 by chatters with 306 views
Introduction
An impromptu comparative tasting as I ran a few traditional food match wines against Lamb chops and asparagus. The joy of the Coravin!
Flight 1 (4 Notes)
Closing
The Rauzen was elevated by the lamb and asparagus (as it was before), the Tinto became creamier and even more rich, the Rioja shone and the Vasse just swamped the meat and veg.
2002 Château Rauzan-Ségla
France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Margaux
from Coravin. Biscuit, toast, red currant…more of the same on the palate, quite tart with slightly drying but fine tannins. Okay

2006 Bodegas Alejandro Fernández Ribera del Duero Tinto Pesquera

from Coravin. On the nose almost figs, cream, vanilla, leather, red fruit, spice, also slight herby notes. In the mouth the wine has a medium plus body and is almost off dry with flavours of figs and plums and plentiful spice. Quite large on the palate. Nice

2007 Vasse Felix Cabernet Merlot

herbaceous, pencil shavings, graphite over liquorice, muted plum, slight vanilla. Quite full on the mid palate, plum dominates herbaceous note. Very tannic and a fair heft of alcohol heat on the medium plus length
