Les Vins Contés (Olivier Lemasson)

Bois Sans Soif Menu Pineau Chenin Blanc-Menu Pineau Blend 2015

Spiced apple and pear dominate the palate upfront with a hint of white peach. Leading into that irresistible minerallity you often get from Loire Valley whites. Lively acidity on the finish keeps you coming back for more!!!! — 10 years ago

Sans Ajout de Soufre Zéro Dosage Brut Nature Champagne Pinot Noir 2014

Champagne Brut Nature, Blanc de Noir, Pas Dosé, 12%. No added sulfites.
Disgorged in 2013.
Bottle tasted in January 2015.
Golden yellow color, with persistent perlage.
Ethereal and evanescent, with scents of berries such as blackberry and blueberry.
Very crispy in the mouth, with great acidity and astringency, yet well balanced and elegant.

Château Latour

Premier Grand Cru Classé Pauillac Red Bordeaux Blend 2000

Chateau Latour is my favorite 1st Growth, they demand patience and inspire not just hedonistic pleasure but also analytical thought.

Both amazing but need massive amounts of air or another 15-20 years minimum in the cellar. I get the feeling they both will hit a plateau once they blossom and slowly move towards full maturity for decades.

The nose on the 2005 rose with little agitation and shot from the hip to nose with ease. By far the most youthful and I tense nose of the evening.

The 2000 was not dissimilar in its progression, if a bit more refined from the extra few years in the glass. A cerebral wine that was also deeply pleasurable, it kept bringing me to what this wine will be like in 15-20 or more years. Easily a 50 years wine from a macro view.

Epic #latour 2000 and 2005

Long Way Home Syrah 2013

Velvety, plush and deep; hints of plumb and baking spice with an almost chalky mouthfeel. Decanted for 3 hours as per the winemaker's suggestion and turned out beautifully. — 10 years ago
