Looking back in the bottles of Bordeaux I opened, outside of class or in a non-tasting setting, I end up at the grand total of four. The vast majority doesn’t move me in the same way that other wines can. There are however moments that call for it. A cold night, a nice slab of Berkshire Porc with an Ottolenghi marinade and home made apple chutney proved to be an exemplary match for Domaine de l’A’s 2007. Spiciness, a bit mellow but all in all harmonious, integrated and just fitting into the scene.
