Introduction
Five anticipating, proud and happy ppl in happy and very proud mode enjoying a two course dinner with some nice wine and as great food as we know how to prepare. And dessert!
Flight 1 - Fish and whites (2 notes)
I was the only person to prefer the Chablis... The Loire wine really delivered above its weight and married the halibut.
Will grow and develop for at least 10 more years.
Wish we had more.
(No screw-cap induced reduction at all.)
Prefered by all (except me) to the Les Clos Grand Cru we also shared.
Last btl a little after 2020.
Married the pan fried halibut.
Flight 2 - Handmade Salciccias and red wine (4 notes)
This dish was made from two different Salciccias: rosemary type and chilli type. The dish included two sauces and seasonal vegetables.
All wines, except the Bdx, delivered great pleasures with this food.
From Sweden's state run monopoly: excessively expensive.
Flight 3 - Dessert! (1 note)
Rivesaltes and Maury produce wines that I drink too little of. Magnificent pleasure and enjoyment with always a rich mouthfeel without the overbearing sweetness of many other types. Had with berry compote and raspberry mousse. Yummy!
Deep, red berried aromas linger with the perfect acids and medium sweetness. Intensley concentrated and pure with a brilliant future ahead.
A distinct pleasure and a perfect marriage with the berry compote and raspberry mousse we enjoyed for dessert.
Only btl, need to get many more!
Guesstimate: Should drink well for over 50 years.
Closing
We all enjoyed like kings and queens. All food and all wines delivered.
