Introduction
Our fabulous host, JulieDHS, hosted a few of the San Diego usual suspects for a fun wine fueled weekend. Dinner at her local favorite restaurant was even better than imagined when the talented chef Matt asked our host for a list of wines that we were bringing. All were paired wonderfully and with great service, this was a night to remember.
Flight 1 (6 notes)
Lighter to medium colored. The lightest of bubble structure. Such definition and precision. Some dough, surprisingly sweetly profiled citrus fruit. Fabulous. Would I open my wallet for this? Not so sure but if JulieDHS is opening, I'm drinking!
Deep golden color. Smoke and marzipan on the nose. Low to moderate acidity leads into spice and raisin flavors. This bottle had a long finish and I found it enjoyable. SD-Wineaux And Whine-Oh both said, "Yummy!".
A nice surprise. Aromas of green tobacco, tar, and berries. Full bodied, acidic and spicy. Lots of berries along with complimentary funkiness. Impressive. I think I need to chase down some '99 Ch. Lynch-Bages
Deep dark red color all the way through. Fresh berries on the nose. Sharply acidic body of fresh cherries and complex earthiness. A long finish. Cin-cin!
Closing
WOTN? Well, our most trusted secretary, Javachip, was not there so our notes were limited to say the least. Personally I'd lean towards the Cristal but I was immensely pleased with my Bordeaux offering. Most all guests could barely touch their 2nd course, Venison. However, everyone put a big dent in their over the top decadent dessert. I hope to return to this great restaurant. 3 cheers for our fabulous host, "Woo, pig, soiee!"
