Aperitif RVC
Tasted Saturday, January 30, 2016 by VDLT Wine with 309 views
Dinner with one other person and then four others joined us after. In all, spent more than 4 hours at the restaurant.
Shrimp and avocado tower, veal meatballs and escargot - all good.
Duck in a red wine mushroom sauce (a bit dry and flabby skin) and rack of lamb with pistachio crust
Roquefort (too sharp), aged goat and pecorino supposedly truffled
1989 Hans Kramp Riesling Cooper's Wine
Germany, Mosel Saar Ruwer
Swirly enjoyed and appreciated for its old school style Riesling character. A touch of balancing sweetness, mellow, vibrant acidity and mature fruit. Lovely to sip and excellent with a variety of dishes and cheeses.

2005 Domaine J Coudray-Bizot Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru Les Combettes
France, Burgundy, Côte de Beaune, Puligny-Montrachet 1er Cru
At first I thought this was just tight but as it unwound it became bizarre. The nose was dominated by ash. There was an occasional glimpse of the quality of this vineyard but it never sustained.
