Red

2008 Domaine Armand Rousseau Père et Fils Charmes-Chambertin Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru Pinot Noir

Tasting menu at Langdon Hall. Opened a couple hours while we had champagne with beginning courses. A fresh, intoxicating, and complex nose of red (plum, raspberry) fruits, fresh earth, tobacco, flowers. The palate is bright, with sweet red fruits, integrated tannins and a high toned, long finish.
It stayed consistent, seeming to show the bright fruit/acidity of 2008, with great underlying sweet red fruits. Stunner.

Red

1997 Domaine Jean-Louis Chave Hermitage Syrah

Dinner at Alo. From memory. Complex and mature, with gorgeous aromas of cigar, earth, red fruits, licorice. Palate was balanced, fresh, with red and black fruits predominating, to a long, rounded finish. Fantastic bottle.

White

2002 Domaine des Baumard Savennières Clos du Papillon Chenin Blanc

Youthful and classic nose of green apple, hay, slate. Palate is full, rich, warm, laced with minerals, with a long, biting finish. Still too young!

Machiavelli commented:

5/25/14, 9:46 AM - Absolutely! I won't drink my next bottle until then.
