Sunday Night Wine Club

[GordonCooks]

Two Sundays a month, a small group of us gets together to drink by varietal or theme. Once is a while, we have a singles night to drink whatever we have kicking around our cellars or something we have only one or two of. This week's line-up was rather eclectic as always and I'll try to decipher my scribbled notes today. Any requested TNs? post away

The GV was either sleeping or flat. Non-descript, muted nose lacking any fruit "personality." It tasted balanced albeit 2 dimensional with an average finish. Don't recall the Morot off the top of my head, seems like the surprises and disappointments are in my immediate memory.

Quick Blurbs

Krug is awesome

The Londer Gewurtz is the perfect Asian food wine

The Lecheneaut Moret St Denis is drinking beautifully and got better as the night wore on

I’m not fond of Gevrey Chambertin

The Forman was still vibrant, years to go

The Jarvis was excellent, still years to go as well.

The Molly Dooker had a nose like hot-buttered popcorn

The Brunellos were old world vs new world

The Warre was incredible, cork bits and all

The LaTour Blanche drank like Rieussec - the most viscous 2003 I’ve tasted so far

"1983 Warre Port" Nice one mate, of all the branded ports Warre is my favourite and once opened it would be impolite not to finish.

Was it an LBV ?

I've heard that "buttered popcorn" description of the Mollydooker before . . . what did your group think of the wine overall?

The hot buttered popcorn throws you off really. I kept bouncing between that and hot spun cotton candy. The wine is absolutely massive and needs time to relax in my opinion. It's like trying to see how many blackberries and cloves of nutmeg you cab stuff in your mouth at once. The longest finish of any wine I've had in recent memory. My memory is foggy (22 for 6 people) but I think this wine was really hot as well..if not this one, maybe the Mitolo. Tasted like 17-18%
