PT, one of the things I miss most about living in London is access to wines like that. Good solid Chateau in the Medoc. Loads of them who decided to really put some effort into it from the mid 80s on. I bought some incredible wines in France for under $10.

 

One bottle left, waiting for my daughter to come out and conjure up a meal worthy of our last one.
I'll even let her have a small glass for her efforts.
I am a giver after all.

TASTING NOTES




COLOR: Bright with a dark ruby, purple core lightening slightly at the rim.

AROMA: Aromatic with ripe black cherry, cassis and a touch of red berry brightness, with toasted vanilla, licorice, and cinnamon spice combined with cedar and subtle smoky cocoa notes.

PALATE: Full bodied with black cherry, black currant, and red berry fruit, with complex spice of vanilla and licorice. The mid-palate shows savory cabernet notes with smoky cedar, chocolate, and continuing ripe black fruit.

FOOD PAIRINGS: Perfect with a juicy rib-eye hot off the grill, but equally at home with a ratatouille made with fire-roasted vegetables.

 

It's good shit.

 

Thanks. I'll open it after Pilates

a good week at PT's house I see.

 

I hauled out a BUNCH of empties from last night's soiree. The standout was the 2011 Melville Clone 90 Pinot. Tough vintage all over but Greg really nailed this Calera clone beauty.
