Nice wines I have drunk recently - Red or White

Abraham Lincoln did say not to trust everything you read on the internet.

Had some good champagne in the air on my way to the Xmas dinner.

What's the Black Noble like?

fantastic. you definiyely should try it

Is that a Venturi you poured through? Wouldn't have thought it would have been required for a 1997!

Not sure about the Venturi. The provenance was questionable (not in wine fridge), so didn't want to take any chances.

For mains (with cold cuts and fresh baked bread rolls) was the piece de resistance. The decanter certainly opened the nose and gave it body all the way to the neck. Damn we took a long time saviouring every glass.

It is a hard life, but somebody has to do it

When's the next flight? we'll be there in a couple hours... :mrgreen:

 

[QF WP]

Alas. Whilst serious negotiations are taking place, I fear I'm losing the battle. Will have to wait until next time

Don't buy those tickets yet TomVexille

1999 HoG and St Henri?

Well ...

Let me know. I'm sure flights can be arranged

 

[burmans]

Unctuous. There's a word not used enough. From it, I could almost taste and experience the wine you were describing.

Agreee, I think many wine descriptors can be a bit wanky but this is a descriptor that in my mind matches perfectly (as if does for some old PX's).

St Henri 1999 was on our bench too!

 

[UpInTheAir:)]

We attended a lovely party today.. where the wine selection was amazing (4 different bubble choices alone - I drank the Vintage Chandon) and the food fantastic... really appreciated the generosity and warmth of the host who catered for about 50 people without assistance and made us take something home as well!! Such kindness

 

[QF WP]

Alas, I'm now back home without having the HoG or St Henri . Thanks to all who wanted to share them, my host was surprised that people would want to travel from far & wide to share in his cellar

Flights would be cheaper than buying both bottles

I'm surprised that penegal hasn't released what he is drinking today

Bit of this, bit of that... Nothing special.

The FIFA Taittinger went down a treat (Thanks blackcat20).

I introduced Buzzard to Lalou Bize-Leroy (aka Domaine Leroy) last night.

It was perhaps a bad idea for the last bottle of the night as we were a bit far gone and may have upset the ladies. Also the wine was far too young... I wish I was buying her wines 40 years ago!!!

ahh well, baptism of fire, eh
