2006 Adobe Road Cabernet Sauvignon Bavarian Lion Vineyard Pretty potent stuff at 15.6%, but pretty nice as well. I really should dig deeper into Knights Valley. ________________________ If you're young and conservative, you have no heart. If you're old and liberal, you have no brain.

Last couple of nights: - 2008 Belle Glos Pinot Noir Clark & Telephone -- I think this might still be on the upswing, dark and young looking, a bit more cola flavour than I remember but big fruit, long finish, delicious - 2010 Beaurenard Chateauneuf Boisrenard -- I have a bunch of these so I wanted to try a bottle; slightly shy nose but lots of big berry fruit in the mouth, extremely long finish with a lot of tannin on the end, very powerful and tasty, should be a good ager, worth seeking out - 2009 Delas Crozes-Hermitage Les Launes -- a real bargain, dark berry and chocolate, medium weight but quite intense, long finish ___________________________ Cheers! | |||

2006 Tensley Thompson Vyd Syrah -- Too acidic and showed some heat. Not very good. Hoping it was an off bottle (as I have two more), but I think I mighted have waited too long to drink or it just wasn't very good to begin with. “Appreciating old wine is like making love to a very old lady.

Played hooky from the office this afternoon for my final offline of the year with VinCentric, VOR and PI. The venue was Le Select, and we had several shared plates which let us extend the range of food flavours to complement different wines: 1999 Marquis D’Angerville Volnay 1er 1998 Ch Leoville Barton 1998 Vieux Vieux Telegraphe La Crau 2003 Quinta do Vale Meao Later at the FWR, we had a surpringly good wine from the Okanagan: 2009(?) Blasted Church Cabernet Merlot | |||

Great afternoon - thanks to all involved. 1998 Vieux Tele WOTA witn 98 Barton close second. The Quinta do Vale Meao was new to me - big, rich, and hot. The heat dissipated and it was delicious with the cheese plate. The Volnay had faded - on its way down - good but not great on its own, but was better with salmon gravlox. 1997 Coutet for late dessert w some blue brie. | |||

The red was a 2003 Gevrey Chambertin 1er Cru Les Champeaux from Rene Lelcerc that we brought back from the winery last year. The 2002 Chave Hermitage Blanc was blah witgh not much to offer The Chapoutier de l'Oree was outsanding and opened continuously throughout dinner. I loved the Burgundy which also continued to improve throughout dinner. Truly an outstanding wine. The 1989 Leoville Las Cases is a great wine now that is sure to improve even more. Great dinner with some very fine friends. Just one more sip. | |||
