2012 Robert Mondavi Fumé Blanc To-Kalon Vineyard I-Block - this has always been one of my favorite Californian wines, prized (by the likes of me) for its rarity - as it's only available at the winery itself. The I-Block contains sauvignon blanc vines planted in 1945, and for me there is always something special about old vines. Initially the nose was a little muted, with a little oak and flint. Lean with good acidity. Later this opened up to show some muscat grapes and a little pipi de chat.
1999 Roulot Meursault Charmes - good acidity here, showing flint and lots of tasty notes. Drinking beautifully.
[1968 or 1970] Penfolds Dalwood Hermitage - very bretty and medicinal, barnyard, and savory.
Full post on dinner is here.
