04 Maiden and more
Lunch at Caprice.
2012 Billecart Salmon Louis Salmon, myorigin 121233, dégorgée 1er trimestre 2023 - nice and fragrant nose, a little yeasty, with good lemon citrus notes. Nicely balanced on the palate, without being either too dry or too ripe.
2004 Harlan Estate The Maiden - served a little over 30 minutes after opening. Really nice nose with smoke and woodsy notes. A little savory and also leather, not too Californian and actually more French. After 1 hour this was sweeter on the palate. After 1½ hours the wine was showing stewed prunes, and with a new pour there was such huge level of concentration and richness, and even sweeter now, and minty. Finally the true Californian character was coming out.
Bought from the winery for USD 165.
1977 Niepoort Colheita, from imperial - very nutty nose as expected. Love the sweetness and the oxidation, but the nose was a little sharp in terms of alcohol.

2020 Blanc Sec de Suduiraut - very flinty, some stone fruit like apricot on the nose. Good acidity here, and almost a little tart on the finish, but also got some ripeness, too.

2020 Blanc Sec de Suduiraut - very flinty, big nose of stone fruits, very oaky, lots of vanilla. At the same time a little pungent. Very soft and ripe on the palate, but acidity kicks in after, ending in a reasonably long finish.
