Knightsbridge Wildman Dinner

Another wonderful Knightsbridge dinner. Must have been a friut day, because everything just tasted really good to me on this particular evening. Sat with Nadine Gublin (Jacques Prieur) which is always a real pleasure.

Didn't take formal notes on the reception walk around tasting wines, but the Brouilly stood out for what it was. Prieur Puligny Combettes was another great wines and of course the Rousseaus were lovely.

  Wonderful rich nose of black pepper and spice. Classic Beauj ripe notes on the palate. One of the better Beaujalais I've had - spactacular value.

  Much tighter than the Vaillons. Mineral with hints of citrus on the nose. Sour citrus mineral on the palate with lots of dry extract. Nice, but still very young/tight - likely be a better wine in the long run, but not today. 92-93 pts.
