Introduction

A small and private farewell with Greg. Lovely company and great conversation.

Flight 1 (2 Notes)

Linguine Cabonara to start followed by a substantive steak.

  • 1995 Ackerman Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 98 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    Not actually an Ackerman but from their museum and unretailed Stonehaven range of Cab Sav. Remarkably fine wine.
    Dusty smokiness yet refined and complex nose. Tobacco, slight hint of mint, dark cherry, rum, muscat, preserved fruit and honeys. Evolved in the glass with remarkable generosity for its age and origin. Simply a joy to drink.

  • 2003 Château Gloria 91 Points

    France, Bordeaux, Médoc, Saint-Julien

    Just maturing and tasting silky smooth with power developing in the glass. Cherries and berries and youthful vitality
