A great vintage and stupidly good with Hedy’s Melted Racklette Confit Potatoes with smoked olive oil. What a pair!!!

If you enjoy this young, over chill and decant one hour. It needs it and it vastly improves.

Hedy is our good friend and is a chef who would earn 1-2 Michelin Stars should she choose to open a restaurant but, wishes not to do. Check out Hedy’s Pop Up Dinner business @plate&bottle on Facebook.

January 22nd notes apply.

Tenuta Pierazzuoli

Riserva Chianti Montalbano Sangiovese Blend 2013

Initially leather and dark cherries. After an hour, black tea, red plums and bergamot crept into the picture. Ready for business and delicious. Great with mozzarella and vegetable sheet-pan dinner. — 8 years ago

Black Forest Distillers

Monkey 47 Schwarzwald Dry Gin

Monkey 47 Dry Distiller Gin. Slightly hazy, water white, colourless. Pronounced intensity of perfume, juniper, lingonberry, violets, lavender, orange and grapefruit zest. With water added, more perfume and citrus notes to the fore. Dry on the palate. Warming alcohol, medium body, pronounced flavour intensity. Long finish. Very complex. Outstanding example of a premium gin. — 10 years ago

Domaine du Pegau

Cuvée Réservé Châteauneuf-du-Pape Red Rhone Blend

What a difference a day makes...initially barnyard funk, tight and unapproachable. Next day open for business with kirsch and dark cherries with a long finish. A baby that has a great future — 10 years ago

Monkey Tree

Loncomilla Valley Red Blend 2015

‘Reserva’. Nice balanced red blend. Has a vibrant, robust nose. Flavors are bitter, sweet, herbal, forestal, and clean. Hits with a bit of licorice and plenty of ‘complex’ red wine action. I’m a sucker for this tree too. It’s just so cool... — 7 years ago

Rosé Blend

Best Rosé I’ve had, but I’m not a huge rosé fan hence the rating. But it’s good! — 7 years ago

Domaine Auguste Clape

Cornas Syrah 1998

Dark scarlet center with clear rims. Almost opaque. Wonderful fragrant nose. Notes of blue fruit, earth, violets, minerals, and some menthol. Meaty. Velvet glove in the mouth. Soft rich fruit with a nice balance of acidity that prolongs the finish. Was open for business immediately. RIP Mr Clape and thank you for this. — 7 years ago

Really nice fine tannins but with a bit of grip on the finish. Fruit dominated. Not too heavy, food length. — 10 years ago

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 1944

1944
One of the mysteries of wine. Young (yes, young), fresh (yes, fresh) red fruit, balanced, well-integrated tannins (no surprise). Great floral aromatics that evolved as it warmed. This wine had no business being as hedonistically delicious as it was.

Second course...Chestnut Soup with a tiny hint of warmer spices (cardamom, clove, fennel) with a tiny tang and nut flavor with Madeira Cream. One of the best pairings I’ve done in some time.

Notes apply from last weekend.
