Outstanding for us.

Having friends over for dinner tonight, plus a late birthday celebration. With shrimp frittata, 2012 J-L Chave L’Hermitage Blanc, and with rhubarb cake and a selection of cheeses (guest is bringing cheese, so not sure which but they’ll be good) 2005 Kracher Nouvelle Vague Chardonnay Trockenbeerenauslese Nummer 10, one of the greatest dessert wines I’ve ever been lucky enough to have.

With main course of crispy skin chicken (air fryer) and casarecce tossed with black summer truffle, sautéed mushrooms, truffle oil, 1985 Gaja Barbaresco Costa Russi which might be magnificent, but if it’s not, then backup is 2008 Pira e Figli Chiara Boschis Barolo Via Nuova, which is a sure thing.

nice on the kracher!

do you have a pic of the wine in the glass?

start drinking up or do you think will get better?

2015 Château Siran Margaux

Both excellent although the Arlot needs a couple of more years

2008 Zind-Humbrecht Pinot Gris Clos Windsbuhl

No notes, but delicious. Off-dry baked peaches and green tea. Fully mature but not over-the-hill. (But I would drink it all up in the next two years, or so.). Better than the ‘15 I had a couple of weeks ago.
